Apparently new music isn't bad enough, so old rockers with apparent dementia, decided to change old tunes to appease the young ones.
"Alice Cooper has been tinkering with the lyrics to a number of his most iconic singles for an album he’s been tracking at his Solid Rock Teen Centers in Phoenix and Mesa — a various-artists compilation of songs he feels are better suited for impressionable young minds than most of what he hears these days.
“It’s a takeoff on our own stuff,” Cooper says. “Instead of ‘I'm Eighteen,’ it's ‘I'm Thirteen.’ 'School's In.' And ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy' is 'Now, I'm Mr. Nice Guy.' It’s kind of a positive take on the stuff we used to do.”
Rob Halford, the voice of Judas Priest, is featured on a song called “Pleasant Dreams” about overcoming your fear of the dark, while Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run-DMC has reimagined Wilson Pickett’s “In the Midnight Hour” as a hip-hop children’s song called “Midday Hour.”"
This isn't an April Fools joke either. The article was published today.
When I was 13 I was listening to "I'm Eighteen" and every other rock song that was being played on WLS.
