美國合唱團手動下雨
風聲輕柔，刷刷的小雨細細密密地斜織著，天空劃出無窮條斜線。一會兒功夫，雨漸漸大了起來。豆大的雨點劈裏啪啦地濺落在樹葉上、地麵上、水麵上。雨點越來越大，越來越密。遠處傳來幾個雷聲，巨大的雨滴爭先恐後地嘩嘩嘩地砸落下來。遠處又有雷聲滾過，劈啪之聲越來越大，密不可分，不絕於耳，此時已是大雨傾盆。突然，近處幾個響雷滾過，雨聲漸弱漸歇。
在音樂響起之前，美國洛杉磯合唱團的團員們手動下了一場兩分十幾秒的暴雨。如果你不看屏幕，隻聽聲音，絕對以為這是天然之雨降臨人間。
好精彩獨特的音響效果，他們完全由人創造。
這就是美國洛杉磯合唱團合唱的《Africa》的精彩音效。
《Africa》 lyrics
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
