Canadian artist Celine Dion has redone Cyndi Lauper's "I Drove All Night". It is also airing in a new Chrysler commercial. The single is from her CD One Heart which came out March 25th. Celine is currently appearing in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace for the next three years.
Cyndi Lauper is currently on a summer tour with Meatlof and starring in a Dr. Pepper commercial. She recently finished a tour with Cher.
Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" was reworked by Sixpence None The Richer (of Dawson's Creek fame) for the soundtrack to How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. The film starred Mathhew McConaughey and Kate Hudson and also appears on their CD called Divine Discontent.
In what could only be described as the weirdest news ever, Fred Durst of Limp Biskit has formed another band called Pacifica which has an '80s, new wave-influenced batch of songs that Durst has described as reminiscent more of Duran Duran and Soft Cell than Howard Jones or A Flock of Seagulls. Adding, it will be a more polished, modern takeoff of those things. The CD has no current release date.
On a slightly different note, there is a Tears for Fears remake of "Everybody Want to Rule the World" on a commercial for 10-10-987, a telephone service. However, it is instrumental only.
