I only recognize a few of the names in this new cast, and frankly, of the names I do recognize, I couldn't tell you a single song they sing. Perhaps as my children grow older I'll end up with some 'Lil Wayne or Jonas Brothers on my iPod. But I doubt it. Here's what I do know about the remake.
- The lyrics remain the same.
- The music, for the most part, remains the same (some 21st century liberties are taken, I'm sure).
- Not ONE of the original 1985 singers were invited back for this remake. None.
- Many of those who did participate in the remake weren't even BORN when the original was recorded! That'll make you feel old.
- The honor of singing of the opening line was given to the pop-star... Justin Bieber from Canada. Huh? He's fifteen years old.
- The song was recorded in the same studio, with the same producer (Quincy Jones) and co-writer Lionel Richie - exactly 25 years later (well, give or take 3 days).
There are no public videos of the recording yet, but my guess is that they'll be popping up soon. For now, here's rapper 'Lil Wayne commenting on the news that he would be singing Bob Dylan's line. [SIGH]
This. This is exactly why I decided to start blogging. It can be very isolating being home with babies, even if you get out and do stuff each day. It is so nice to read about another woman going through it too!
