Today I was in Crate and Barrel looking at all the things I never knew I needed and I found myself singing along (in my head) to the song that was playing. It was a song I had never heard before...this version. I was singing along in my head:
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've
Heard this one before
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
I kept thinking, "why do I know this song?" and it hit me. College. The Smith's. Stop Me. Who had the BALLS to remake this song? I just looked on itunes and it is Mark Ronson. It's like the time I was in an elevator in the downtown Bank of America bulding and I was singing in my head to the Muzak that was piped in. Same thing happened,"why do I know this song?"
Took my chances on a big jet-plane
Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same
Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee
Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake
Now
Watch out
It dawned on me. Going to California by Led Zeppelin. Again, The BALLS.

Made me thing about remakes. Why do one? Because the artist thinks they can improve or add a new outlook? I have 8 versions of Sweet Child O' Mine on my ipod. I never liked the original version. As a joke, I made a mix CD for my old boss because he loved that song. But I digress. Wouldn't it be great to remake times in your life? I would remake 17-20, 30-32 and 39-42. I wonder who I could get to do the rerecording?
