I seriously, SERIOUSLY debated whether this song from the Barbie movie deserved to be here - and not on Totally Covered.
Gayle is listed as a songwriter. She absolutely did lift the chorus from the Crazy Town song "Butterfly", The original songwriters are listed. But what Gayle did almost could be defined more as a sample than as a cover.
And, let's be clear. whereas the Crazy Town song is listed as one of the worst singles of all time (which means we will post about it eventually), Gayle's version absolutely slaps. It is NOT laid back, but instead a straight-ahead hard rock song.
Gayle has a condition called chromesthesia - in which sound invokes a color response. We wonder what colors she sees when she performs this song.
By the way, it's also a song that sounds absolutely terrific live. And seems to be very pink.
