这东西跟奥运扯得上关系真是神了个奇了啊~~~还有那啥歌词。。­。奥运要生死与共啊，特么，希望荣耀怎么觉得那么骑士的口吻的。­。。玩儿脱了啊这。。。顺便说下，那是美猴王嘛，给个帅点的脸。­。。

I remember watching this and the 2008 Beijing Olympics when I was in Caernarfon, Wales. It was cool for me to realise this was done by the brains behind Gorillaz. I still like watching this. Due to my liking of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I imagined an SSBB version of this with my 3 favs (Diddy, G&W, Olimar) and Palutena was the god, the 1st creature was Gulpin and the 2nd was Rayquaza. Geez..........
