一直以來，Jack Johnson的歌總渲染有太多懷舊的色調。作為一部逗樂的兒童電影主題曲，Upside down本應該輕松不斷、詼諧有加，但不知為什么，聽這首曲子，心靈深處觸摸的并不是小猴的調皮，而是調皮外表下一顆敏感孤獨的心。

與Talk of the town相比，Upside down帶有原始風味的鼓聲更別具特色。如果說Talk of the town傾灑的是吉他聲里流淌的清涼，那么，Upside down更容易讓您在鼓聲中感受到叢林深處的神秘和活力。雖說整首曲子節奏輕松，但輕松的鼓點卻難以掩藏歌曲深處的憂傷——孤單童年不被大人理解的憂傷。童年時，我們很多次都如小猴一樣，總能在平淡中發現一點新奇，也常因探求新奇而闖禍，從而招致大人無奈的神情甚或責罵……

   Lyrics

Upside down        byJack Johnson

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

I wannaturn the whole thingupside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I wanna turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Will it all keep spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away

Is this how it's supposed to be?
Is this how it's supposed to be?
