『mini mini』というのは、朝から晩までお子様アニメを放送しているポーランドの子供向けチャンネルです。
このチャンネルでは、番組と番組の合間に『mini mini party』というオリジナルの音楽アニメを流すのですが、わけても秀逸なのが、かの伝説のロックバンド、Queenの名曲『We will Rock You』。
コップから生まれた水の坊やが、凍ったり、蒸発したり、いくつもに分裂したり。
まるで水の生態をアニメ化したような、ユニークで独創性あふれる動画もさることながら、鼻に引っかかるような男の子のヴォーカルも味があり、最初から最後まで目が離せません。
燃えさかる炎を音楽に合わせてオシッコでジュッ、ジュッ、ジュッと消す演出も冴えてるし（マンガ『まことちゃん』のオシッコお姉さんを思い出す）、最後は恋人と合体し、たくさん子供が生まれて、母なる海へと帰って行くストーリーはまるで一編の映画を観るようです。

私がこちらの番組を見ていて「すごいなぁ」と思うのは、子供向けのちょっとした作品でも非常にセンスの良さが感じられる点なんです。
日本のアニメだと、何でもかんでも「癒し系」「カワイイ系」で、大人も唸らせるような独創性ってほとんど感じることがないんですけど、こっちは「カワイイ」よりもオリジナリティを重視していて、「また似たようなキャラ（演出）」と思うことがほとんど無いんですよね。
mini miniも、ただのお子様番組だと思っていたら、この『We will Rock You』には本当に惹きつけられたし、他にも「ほほ～」と思うようなのがたくさんあります。
どんな分野でも二番煎じはダメってことですね。
こちらが本家本元、QueenのWe will Rock You。
デビューアルバムのヒット曲だけに、「いつかビッグになってやる」というフレディの意気込みが感じられて、すごく光ってますよね。

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise
Playin’ in the street gonna be a big man some day
Mud on yo’ face
Big disgrace
Kickin’ your can all over the placeWe will we will rock you c’mon
We will we willBuddy you’re a young man hard man
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
Got blood on yo’ face
Big disgrace
Wavin’ your banner all over the placeWe will we will rock you
Sing it everybody
We will we will rock
Ooh yeah c’mon rock yeah yeah c’mon
Yeah alrightOh, we will we will rock you c’mon
We will we willBuddy you’re an old man poor man
Pleadin’ with your eyes gonna get
You some peace some day
Got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody betta put you back into your placeWe will we will rock you yeah yes
We will we will rock you rock you rock you rock you
We will we will rock you
Hey hey hey rock you heyお前は通り（ストリート）で騒ぎ立てるガキだが
いつの日か大物の男になるだろう
顔についた泥も
数々の大恥も
すべて蹴散らしていつかお前たちを反っくり返らせてやるぜ
さあ 歌おうお前は年寄りで 貧乏人
目に憐れみを浮かべて 嘆願する
だがいつの日か 心の拠り所を見つけるだろう顔についた泥を拭え
恥もかなぐり捨てて
誰かがお前をしかるべき場所に連れ戻してくれるだろういつかお前たちをびっくりさせてやるぜ
日本語にしたらなんかヘンですね。
大意を語れば、「今は道端にたむろしているようなストリート・キッズに過ぎないが、いつの日か、この恥だらけの泥沼から抜けだして、世界を震撼させるような大物になるぜ」という大志の歌といったところでしょうか。
『少年よ、大志を抱け』の励ましの歌ですね。
デビューして間もないQueenおよびフレディ・マーキュリーの気概が感じられます。
