See, this is what happens when people die. They take your music, mash it with a contemporary band that used to be super gritty, get a bunch of 20-something actors to sing it as a choral group, then air it right after the Super Bowl so MILLIONS of people will already be watching that channel.
I– I don't know how I feel about this. Part of me really enjoys the idea of putting together two malicious dance tracks that will connect 30 years of music, and the other part of me is appalled that it's being done by a TV show where, yes, there is a lot of talent, but the original talent that produced the music is stripped from the product. In other words, I feel like this would've been much cooler if a DJ had produced it. Either way, hear it via YouTube below:
