「金鼠王」（Ben)（1971)電影插曲 - Ben2025-05-06
這又是一部因為歌曲讓我記得的電影。
《金鼠王》(Ben) 是一部1972年的美國恐怖片，由菲爾·卡爾森執導，由李·蒙哥馬利、約瑟夫·坎帕內拉和亞瑟·奧康奈爾主演。這是電影《威拉德》(Willard)（1971）的續集。這部電影講述了一個名叫Danny Garrison的孤獨男孩與Willard的前寵物老鼠Ben成為朋友的故事。Ben成為這個男孩最好的朋友，保護他免受欺凌，並讓他在面對心臟病時保持精神振奮。然而，當警察試圖控制它時，Ben組建了一支由致命齧齒動物組成的軍隊。
《金鼠王》得到了評論家們褒貶不一的評價。它在爛番茄上只獲得了60%的評分。
這部電影的主題曲《Ben》由李·蒙哥馬利在電影中演唱，由邁克·傑克遜(Michael Jackson)在最後一幕和片尾字幕中演唱（錄製日期：1971年11月）。邁克·傑克遜錄製的這首歌在1972年成為排名第一的流行單曲。後來作為邁克·傑克遜第二張個人專輯《Ben》的主打歌，它獲得了金球獎最佳原創歌曲獎，並被提名為奧斯卡最佳原創歌曲獎，它輸給了莫琳·麥戈文1972年另一部電影《海神號》中的《早晨之後》（Tha morning after）。
這首歌平靜而溫馨，與電影的恐怖內容形成鮮明對比。https://youtu.be/UGF3OAiYzk4?si=bY-4QH4wihtaKsim

歌詞
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friendinme (You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there (here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go (You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
(I used to say "I" and "me")
(Now it's "us", now it's "we")
Ben, most people would turn you away (turn you away)
I don't listen to a word they say (a word they say)
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Be
Like Ben (Like Ben)
Like Ben
