歌曲簡介
Mondo Bongo是西班牙語,在西班牙語,Mondo是巨大的意思,而Bongo是小鼓,合起來是“大鼓”的意思。Mondo Bongo其實是哥倫比亞古老的原住民音樂(西班牙語是哥倫比亞的語言),它真實的意思是“奔放與狂野”,引申自當地居民娛樂喜慶時演奏用的大鼓。
《史密斯夫婦》電影開頭的部分,他們夫婦是在哥倫比亞認識的,因此電影採用了“奔放與狂野”這首哥倫比亞老音樂作為插曲。
1981年,當時著名的愛爾蘭搖滾樂隊Boomtown Rats有一部Mondo Bongo的音樂專輯,就是取材自哥倫比亞奔放和狂野的音樂的,也以Mondo Bongo來命名。該樂隊於1985年解散。
Mondo Bongo------Mr.&Mrs.Smith的主題曲,一直很喜歡這首充滿拉丁情調的歌,曲調簡單卻婉轉,加上歌手慵懶的嗓音,連同幾分滑稽的歌詞,總給人很放鬆的感覺。記得影片當中兩人在這首背景音樂里忘情的舞蹈,各自懷揣著心事,內心相互猜疑,卻面帶笑容,深情的對視,享受著衝突前的溫柔。平靜自然的場景,在鬆弛的背景音樂的襯托下,卻有著說不出的浪漫。
總覺得這樣的場面很熟悉,兩個人面對面相視而笑,私下卻隱藏著各自的想法,看似融洽的氣氛,卻缺乏著對於對方的信任。人與人之間總在時刻保持著警惕,充斥著流言與猜疑。或許他們自己都沒有意識到彼此舉手投足間的默契,以及那份沉澱在心底的情愫。

附英文歌詞:
Artist: Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Lyrics Song: Mondo Bongo
I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
For the Zapatistas I\’ll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace
Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home
Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
