La version originale, de Leonard Cohen (VO sous titrée en espagnol, énorme) :
Suivie de son cortège de reprises, la plus récente étant celle de Lambchop, réservée aux insomniaques de haut niveau.
Bon dimanche !
Jamais vu ce film (il paraît que c'est pour les filles), la BO est pour le moins ringarde : je l'ai téléchargée pour comparer l'original et sa copie par le très doué Thomas Bartlett, leader de Doveman. L'ensemble des 9 titres est gratuit et téléchargeable sur le site du groupe.
Titre éponyme : l'original par Kenny Loggins
When I was very young, my half-sister Jenny died tragically. She was a teenager, and it was the 80's. She left behind a wardrobe of brightly colored clothes, rainbow stickers, life-size paintings, doodles on lined paper, and hundreds of tapes. These constitute most of my memories of her. It's sad for me to look at these things, and usually I don't. But a couple of summers ago I found a tape of hers with a startling cover photograph - this was Footloose. I couldn't stop listening: it was a portrait of 80's love, desire, pain, freedom, and frenzy; of being a teenager in a time of change. By listening, I could step into Jenny's shoes, see things from her vantage point. I could be emancipated by rock and roll and walkmen, just as she had been. We could listen together.
I asked my friend Thomas to cover the album, which, sheltered as he is, he had never heard before. I was clear that I wanted to him to cover the whole album - the point wasn't to rework any one song, but to re-imagine the picture they made together. With a new Footloose we could reply to the past, tell our own story about being young. This is what he made.

"All this version of the song lacks is a big pair of breasts. 10/10" - Commentaire sur youtube (rapport à la reprise de Mariah, of course)
Deux chansons du grand Serge Rezvani (le tourbillon, la mémoire qui flanche, c'est lui) reprises par Helena Noguerra, chanteuse de qualité, aux fréquentations impeccables. C'est pas le cas de toutes les chanteuses françaises, hein.
Sambassadeur reprend La chanson de Prévert (le nom du groupe est aussi piqué à Gainsbourg, les vilains suédois qu'ils sont) et les écossais de Franz Ferdinand s'empare du All my friends encore chaud de LCD Soundsystem...
