MR

A friend of mine just called me and said that he's pretty sure that at the very end of the show My Name Is Earl they played the re-recorded version of Lights with Arnel on vocals. Did anyone watch this show last night? Or does anyone have the energy to go to NBC.com and watch the end of the episode and reprt back? I'm interested to see if this is true.

You know, I saw it and had it on DVR, but I think my husband erased it. I THOUGHT it might be Arnel too, because it didnt' sound like the original or enough like Perry. I'd love to know. Problem was I kept falling asleep while we were watching it and woke up to the song so I didn't now if I was half asleep or if it was Arnel Oh, and it wasn't "Lights" it was LTS! Did Arnel even re-record that song???

Bluejeangirl, care to step in here...

(I heard a random Peter Cetera in the background as I was getting ready to go out last night, then I heard random Steve Perry. I walk over to the TV and I'm like, "Am I hearing this? Oh shit, there'll be a thread on MR about this, I know it." )

EDIT: ...It didn't sound like Arnel to me... but I've made the mistake of confusing them before... and I did have styling tools around my ears.

Never watched the show but I saw a commercial last night
that listed another Journey re-record on a compilation/remake album...

The Chipmunk's new album lists "Don't Stop Believin'"

It was not Lights, and My Name is Earl is not on ABC. If we're talking about last night's show, it was LTS and it WAS the original Evolution version with Steve Perry. Whoever is post-production on that show is a Journey fan because they use Journey a lot (always the Perry versions).

And I heard it and thought the same... "good lord, here comes the thread."

Thanks, Lynn. I also saw that's on NBC.com. My friend is a moron.

Now I KNOW I was half asleep if I couldn't tell Whoever produces that show is a Def Lep fan and a classic rock in general fan. They are always plugging all kinds of music from those time eras. I think it's because people my age (40ish) are now the ones making the shows.

That's what I thought.

...Can anyone confirm the random Chicago on the show? Or do I now just aurally hallucinate Cetera?

You're the Inspiration

Oh, and I pulled up the episode and fast forwarded to the end, where LTS was played and yes, it was DEFINITELY the original and I was DEFINITELY still sleeping when I heard it

They're talking about LTS, not Lights.

I meant Evolution. I was talking about LTS.
I KNOW my Journey track listings. Do not question me.

With the exceptions of Feeling That Way, Anytime, and Lovin' You Is Easy both Infinity and Evolutiuon suck. Majestic is ok too.

I am definitely trying to piss you off, but I do really think that.

It wasn't me. But I figured people would think it was me. SJ clarify who it was.

Wayne. For those of you that were in Virginia at DC Vader's (awesome) bash he was the dude with the shaved head that recorded the Frontiers concert. That bootleg that hit the internet was recorded by Wayne. He's an asshole if that helps jar anyone's memory.

Anybody else noticed when they list the writing credits now (both on the cd & dvd), they pushed SP from the 1st position to last? Could be that's why they didn't want to re-record L-T-S (which was their very 1st Top 20 hit) ... no place to take him down (he was the sole writer).

What is wrong with this next generation???? They were the best two albums ever recorded by Journey (albeit the mix/fidelity kinda sucked).

If he's the sole credited writer, would they not need his permission to do that?
(and that would explain why they can't record it, if that's the case)

Would you be excited to know that in the movie Madagascar 2 that I just saw with my daughter today, they use the song "Copa Cabana" I IMMEDIATELY thought of you Dan

I thought the same too. LOL I wanted to say something to someone but my boyfriend was asleep! So I just enjoyed it by myself.

They used Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger on at least one occasion as well.

Yes, "Earl" actually sings that one and now when I hear that song I just think of that and him singing Kind of like Cartman singing Come Sail Away, it's just never the same again

I do love the Infinity album. But Evolution is my least favorite of the Perry era albums. I do still love it overall, it was still better than 99% of the other albums that were out by other bands that year. But it was nonetheless my least favorite Perry era Journey album.

About 5 or 6 years ago one of the characters on SNL was singing Don't Stop Believin on the show. It took me a while to get that out of my head when I would listen to Journey doing that song.
