Es stimmt schon, dass Duke Tango ihm dem Namen verpasst hat, weil Rafer auf dem Platz gehüpft, also geSKIPped ist, aber wie kommt er dann zu TO MY LOU?
Scheint so als hätt er das tatsächlich von einem Kinderlied namens "Skip to my Lou", die Lyrics hab ich mal da unten reingestellt. Wenn ich mir die so durchlese, steht LOU mMn als Namensabkürzung für Louise, inhaltlich also: wenn dies oder jenes("cows in the cornfield, what will i do, skip to my lou, my darlin") passiert, dann "hüpf ich zu meinem Darling, der Louise", so als ultimative Antort auf alle Probleme, das ist Skip also auf Streetball bezogen, der Point GOD!
Vielleicht ist meine Interpretation auch vollkommener Quatsch, oder vielleicht hat Duke den Begriff "Skip"(der ihm ja eindeutig wegen Rafers Hüpfbewegungen einfiel) einfach spontan mit dem Titel dieses Liedes verbunden, ohne jegliche Bedeutung zu bedenken...
wie auch immer, bin für alle anderen Vorschläge offen, wüsste auch schon seit langem gerne, was "Skip to my Lou" nun wirklich bedeutet!
