I have to say one of my musical guilty pleasures is “The Touch” by Stan Bush.
You know the one. It was the most inspiring moment in the Transformers Animated movie. You can watch the confrontation of Optimus Prime and Megatron in the movie here. In it you will hear the Stan Bush song “The Touch” and its SO 80s and yet SO cool.
I admit. Its in my Mp3 Collection.
But this is news that I am conflicted about. Seems Stan Bush is writing a new song that he hopes will be featured in the live action Transformers Movie.
Stan himself wrote a letter to Seibertron.com which is posted here:
I wanted to let the legions of Transfans know that my Producer and I are in the studio mixing a new track for a certain upcoming live-action movie directed by Michael Bay … I think you know the one!
It’s a BIG song, with 70+ tracks at this point! We hope to submit this track in the next couple weeks.
Also, you can give your readers the link to my new website/MySpace page: www.stanbush.com.
All The Best,
Stan Bush
Now whether this is a farce, or a Stan Bush publicity stunt to the flavour of recent Hasselhoff attempts, or perhaps the producers are actually offering Stan this as another nod to the cartoon that made this movie even possible.
If the song makes the cut, I would hope the song is not so 80s, or maybe I do want some cheese. I cant decide.
