And Now Some Late Afternoon ‘Cool Rider’ Appreciation

4:46PM Jess McGuire | Do not ask me what kicked this off because I have no idea, but for the last week I’ve been listening to ‘Cool Rider’ from Grease 2 repeatedly on the iPod. It’s so awesome! I mean, obviously it’s kind of weak, but therein lies its charm. Michelle Pfeiffer’s thin vocals? Lyrics which spell out the song title? That amazing riff underneath the bit where Michelle’s singing “If he’s cool enough, he can burn me through and through!”? IT IS ALL GOOD. I think Natalie Bassingthwaighte should cover this. And given her background in musical theatre, I suspect she’s probably familiar with the track so it should definitely be considered a potential b-side/”free download for the fans”. HINT HINT, THE BASS/SONG-BMG. PS: Comic kudos to the wag who said in the YouTube comments “She shouldn’t straddle the top rung of a ladder like that. It’s not safe, and in strict violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines.” More »
