Speaking Of “Transformers”: Have You Got “The Touch”?
When was the moment you realized that you were a true nerd? We don’t mean “nerd” in that semi-endearing Ben Gibbard kind of way–we mean in that lame, “I have very strong opinions about V: The Final Battle, and by the way, Dagobah is a system” sort of way. Could it possibly have been that moment in Boogie Nights when Mark Wahlberg and John C. Reilly are recording a terrible, terrible ’80s-rock anthem in the studio, and you stood up and went, “What the? That’s Stan Bush’s ‘The Touch,’ which originally appeared in 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie!“? Because that might have happened with one of your Idolators. Maybe. Probably. And speaking of Mr. Bush, he’s clearly busy writing his own Wiki entry, which explains this sad little closing sentence:
Presently Stan Bush is submitting a song to the producers of the live action Transformers movie in hopes that it will be included in the movie soundtrack.
C’mon, Michael Bay! You got the power!
