世界杯捧红了章鱼哥保罗,于是世界杯后也有人想借着保罗走红一下。这不就有人写了一首《章鱼保罗之歌》发布到网上,旋律近乎童谣,歌词更是简单:“章鱼哥保罗,偶们爱你,你吃个饭,顺便选了谁赢。章鱼哥保罗,偶们爱你。”然而这首有点小冷的歌曲在YouTube少有人问津,点击量甚微。看来粉丝们很不甩这位音乐人的讨好呢。



Penned by a man billed as a novelty animal song writer, Parry Gripp, the tune features a somewhat nasal vocal track over a simple electronic beat.

The chorus is sung to the immortal words: “Paul, the Octopus, We love you, He picks the winner, When he eats his dinner, Paul the Octopus, We love you.”

Despite Paul’s 100-per-cent record in predicting eight games correctly at the World Cup and his huge fan base, the song is unlikely to be a huge hit. As of this morning the song’s video on YouTube had only registered 123 views.

That’s not much of a surprise given the poor performance of Gripp’s other compositions, which include masterpieces such as That Skunk Is Mad, Shopping Penguin, Spaghetti Cat (I Weep for You) and Cat Flushing a Toilet.
