Movie soundtracks are especially rife with the 80s covers  back in 2001 the Not Another Teen Movie soundtrack featured gems like Good Charlottes cover of OMDs "If You Leave" and Goldfingers take on Nenas "99 Red Balloons," and Canadians Lillix covered The Romantics "What I Like About You" for last years Freaky Friday soundtrack. > > Now, the people behind the upcoming 50 First Dates are capitalizing on the Not Another Teen Movie formula with another all 80s covers comp, although this time around the list of artists isnt quite as hip (if you can call Good Charlotte and Goldfinger hip). The soundtrack, which will hit stores on February 3 courtesy of Maverick records, features a bunch of new and veteran artists, some of whom were active in the 80s, paying homage to the classics. > > Big names on the soundtrack include UB40 (yes, the band that built their career butchering covers like Neil Diamonds"Red Red Wine" and Sonny And Chers "I Got You Babe") doing The Polices "Every Breath You Take," Ziggy Marley taking a crack at The Cars "Drive," Wyclef Jean and Eve coming together on The Outfields "Your Love" and 311 playing The Cures "Love Song." Jason Mraz does Modern Englishs "I Melt With You," Sugar Rays Mark McGrath chimes in with The Psychedelic Furs "Ghost In You" and The Black Eyed Peas add a bit of cool factor with their version of Spandau Ballets "True." The song were most interested in hearing, though, has got to be Seals cover of Echo And The Bunnymens "Lips Like Sugar." Seal doing Ian McCulloch  stop and think about that one for a minute. > > As for the actual movie, 50 First Dates looks pretty freakin cool. Reteaming Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who also starred in the 80s-themed The Wedding Singer, the movie opens in theatres on February 13. > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > ?Buscas un auto? > Encontralo en Yahoo!

Until last > night I had no idea who Seal even was.....but yikes!!! Cripes indeed. Why?! is what I wanna know. What's wrong with the original? And as much as I think Coldplay surgically remove the little bit of soul that's present in the original, I would MUCH rather prefer Coldplay's version to ANYTHING Seal is gonna do. I hope I eat my words! But if *Seal's* version actually charts..... what would that *say* about the world? ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V3 #4 ******************************
