青蛙老師再介紹一個或許大家會比較熟悉,尤其是家裡面有小朋友的舞友,小美人魚電影中龍蝦賽巴斯丁唱給小美人魚聽的"Under the sea"這首歌就是典型的Calypso.
小美人魚電影插曲 "Under the sea":
接下來要介紹張老師用的歌曲來源.說到這邊,真的不得不佩服對世界各國民謠音樂與民俗舞蹈瞭若指掌的博學多聞的張慶三老師,將歌與舞的結合竟然是如此的渾然天成.我想各位舞友們應該都知道倫巴舞是源自於古巴,而這首配曲Rum and Coca-Cola呢?我覺得張老師一定選用這首歌曲一定有原因的,因為這首歌曲的原名就叫做:"自由古巴"!!這首歌曲的來頭又是一個 long story,甚至連歌名都另有含意,且讓青蛙老師細說分明.
戰爭結束後,美國佔領了古巴.由於當時美國本土正在施行禁酒令,在美國國內根本喝不到酒,軍人征戰在外,君命有所不受,逮到機會休假就跑到哈瓦那的酒吧去喝個爛醉.一位叫做Fausto Rodriguez的傳令兵請他的長官Russell上尉到酒吧喝酒,他叫酒保把可樂加進當地盛產的Bacardi (Gold)蘭姆酒,在放上兩片檸檬片,Russell上尉驚為天人.一旁的小兵都圍過來看到底是甚麼瓊漿玉液讓長官如此驚喜.Russell上尉叫酒保照剛剛的調酒方式調上幾十杯,請酒吧裡面所有的阿兵哥一人一杯.喝到差不多的時候,一位阿兵哥就提議大家一起喊個口號,壯壯軍威.那要喊甚麼呢?有了,美軍不是才剛打勝仗嗎,不如口號就叫做"Por Cuba Libre!"(解放古巴自由的意思).以後大家上酒吧要點這杯酒的時候,只要跟酒保喊說:"Cuba Libre!"(自由古巴)!酒保就知道你要喝的就是這杯Rum and Coca-Cola!

版本2:古巴反抗軍版: 故事內容跟美國版差不多,只是主角換成古巴的反抗軍(Mambises)跟西班牙打獨立戰爭的場景.反抗軍同志之間聯絡的暗號為:"Por Cuba Libre!"(呵呵~,沒有新詞,跟美國一樣.)
但是有一點很奇怪,上面的場景發生在西元1898年,但是根據歷史紀載,可口可樂是在西元1900年才賣進去古巴的,時間上兜不攏!美國人就辯稱,這是為美國軍隊帶進去的慰勞品,讓大家在艱苦作戰期間也能夠喝到家鄉味的飲料.不管Rum and Coca-Cola是西元幾年發明的,反正我們現在有這種好喝的雞尾酒就是了.
土風舞版歌曲,張老師採用的是由 Harry Belafonte的專輯"Folk Songs with Harry Belafonte and Calypso with the Islanders"中的版本.此專輯介紹中說明,本歌曲為當地島民所演唱,不是Belafonte親自演唱.

Lord Invaderm 原始英文歌詞: 1. And when the Yankees first went to Trinidad Some of the young girls were more than glad They said that the Yankees treat them nice And they give them a better price They buy:
和. Rum and Coca-Cola Went down Point Cumana Both mothers and daughters Working for their Yankee dollars (2S)
2. Ah, look, I had a little chick the other day But her mother came and took her away Herself, her mother and her sisters Went in a cab with some soldiers They bought:
和. Rum and Coca-Cola Went down Point Cumana Both mothers and daughters Working for their Yankee dollars
(間奏)
3. They have some aristos in Port of Spain I know a lot, but I wont call name And in the day they wouldnt give you a right But you might see them with the foreigners late at night Drinking:
和. Rum and Coca-Cola Went down Point Cumana Both mothers and daughters Working for their Yankee dollars
(間奏)
4. I know a couple who got married one afternoon And was to go Miami on their honeymoon But the bride run away with a soldier lad And the stupid husband went staring mad They bought:
和. Rum and Coca-Cola Went down Point Cumana Both mothers and daughters Working for their Yankee dollars
