當年JVG是耶魯一年級學生,打得一手好籃球。Jodie也是新生,已是小有名氣,JVG和朋友們打賭誰第一個先約會Jodie每人就付100給贏的人.那天在賣爆米花的小廳邊JVG偶遇Jodie,JVG背對著Jodie,Jodie說帥哥,爆米花好香,並看著JVG,JVG回答是好香。當他轉身看到是她時,平時能言善辯打球虎虎有生氣的JVG不知所措,一句話沒講,傻傻地看著佳人,JVG居然在那時跑路了!!(另一種講法是等JVG回過神Jodie的背影已消失在人群裏)。‘那次幾乎就約上了,機會那麽近,可惜我沒有準備好’JVG事後說,當然他也輸了那100美元,他的朋友後來約了Jodie看冰球。以後JVG師從油頭,做事十分認真,事事準備在先,滿手字條,NY的球員也願為他打球。
JVG在NY做教練時居然開95 Honda civic。後來這輛車在機場被737的發動機氣流打壞,這件事上了報紙。機場好像賠了。據說NY的隊員送JVG一輛新跑車因為他們丟不起這個臉。
JVG和Jodie沒有交集,是平行線。改寫歌詞隻是娛樂,開賽前別太嚴肅了。
下麵是英文版的:
We did have a bet about Jodie Foster in my freshman class (at Yale University) about who could get the first date. We all threw $100 in. One of the other guys asked her to a hockey game and she went. I had my chances earlier. I was walking back from the gym. There's this big freshman quadrangle. You go through this big gate. There's a candy store and popcorn. I stopped as I'm going by, and a voice behind me says, `Boy that popcorn smells good.' I turned around to say, `Yeah, it sure does,' and it was her. And I froze. And I ran away. Twelve-hundred bucks I could've used. That was a choke.
