The Script - 'We Cry'
I have never wondered what it would be like if Daniel Bedingfield attempted to re-write 'Under The Bridge' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a social commentary about the way society is going these days, and then got Maroon 5 and Orson to jam it out, in a meaty-pop style.
Hopefully neither have you. And yet here's a song which could have come from this exact set of unlikely circumstances, which does make me wonder what other unasked for musical stews are currently bubbling away on the stove...
Has some hot new band imagined what it would sound like if Michael Jackson were to re-write Beethoven's Ninth, as a song about the perils of hang-gliding, and performed by the Ramones and Biz Markie?
Will the soundtrack to this summer be a hot mix of 'Respectable' by Mel & Kim and 'Epic' by Faith No More, only mauled to within an inch of life by Cradle Of Filth and then given the kiss of life by Rolf Harris?
Quite frankly, if this is how things are going to be, I believe we should be warned, if only so that we can get our taste glands overhauled in preparation.
(I want to give this three-and-a-half stars, but that would involve making a new graphic. So can you draw it on your screen with a felt-tip? Thanks ever so!)
