The post Bruce Springsteen Admits He’s Been Singing “Thunder Road” Wrong for Almost 50 Years appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>During his recent appearance on the Tonight Show, Springsteen was asked by the host Jimmy Fallon to settle some debates about himself. One of them was about the song “Thunder Road” and how no one is exactly sure about its lyrics. Some believe that Springsteen sings “the screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways,” while others think he sings “the screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves.”
Springsteen was happy to clear the confusion by bringing the original release of the album to the show.
“I was insane about every single detail that had anything to do with music, my album, my album cover, my lyrics,” he told Fallon. “I went over everything with a fine-tooth comb so everything would be perfect and completely accurate. The lyrics to ‘Thunder Road’ are in this album. The correct lyrics.”
Springsteen looked into the lyrics printed on the album, and it turned out the correct line was “the screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves.” The only issue was that the rocker himself has been singing “the screen door slams, Mary’s dress sways” on his live shows.
“This is wrong,” Springsteen added jokingly while pointing to the record.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>From Bruce Springsteen to Louis Tomlinson and Rauw Alejandro, several major artists dropped new albums this Friday, giving us amazing songs along the way. Out of the three, Rauw Alejandro’s Saturno seems to be making the most buzz, and he promoted its release by dropping a music video for “Lejos del Cielo”.
Taylor Swift and Rihanna are two artists everyone’s been talking about recently, and if you think we’re going to stop – think again! Rihanna dropped another song from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack called “Born Again”, while Swift shared several remixes of her latest single “Anti-Hero”, including one with Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers.
From Stomrzy and Rod Wave to Hailee Steinfeld and Anderson .Paak, the list of artists behind our favorite songs of the week is pretty impressive, so stick around to give them a listen.

]]>The post The Killers and Bruce Springsteen Unveil Highly-Anticipated Collab “Dustland” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The track sees the group’s frontman Brandon Flowers and Springsteen dividing verses before uniting their vocals for the powerful chorus. Hear it below.
Shortly after the song was released into the world, Flowers went on social media to explain how the collaboration came to be. According to Flowers, Springsteen reached out to him a while back via text message with the proposition to team up.
“Watching Glastonbury. You guys have become one hellacious live band, my brother. Love the gold suit. We gotta do Dustland one day. Bruce,” the text message read.
Flowers was initially skeptical about the text, thinking he is a subject of some prank. But after getting in touch with Springsteen’s son Evan, he was convinced the message was genuine.
Brandon Flowers admitted in the past that Springsteen is one of his biggest influences in music. The two crossed paths several times in the past, including Flower’s appearance during Springsteen’s headlining set at Pinkpop Festival, when they performed “Thunder Road” together.
The Killers are currently working on the follow-up to 2020’s Imploding the Mirage, which could see them reuniting with guitarist Dave Keuning. Springsteen, on the other hand, might also have new music up his sleeve according to his recent interviews and could debut it later this year.

]]>The post Nick Jonas Said He Wants to Play Bruce Springsteen in a Movie appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The Jonas Brothers frontman divulged his strong appreciation for Springsteen and maintained that if a biopic was ever made about him, he’s calling dibs on the role.
In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Jonas explained, “Growing up in New Jersey, Bruce obviously has a special place in my heart and my creative life. And it is a dream of mine to play him in a movie one day and tell his story in some way that would be honoring to him and that he could be involved with.”
Biopics have become more and more popular since the start of the millennium, with late music legends such as Ray Charles, Freddie Mercury, and Johnny Cash receiving films about them as well (Ray, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Walk The Line, respectively).
It’s unclear whether or not a film about Springsteen is in the works, but clearly, Jonas wants to make sure that he has the role locked in if they ever decide to make one.
Jonas became a child star as part of the rock group The Jonas Brothers, but eventually, the group disbanded. He then started a solo career, and delved into acting as well, starring in the action-comedy Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
“(I) could only hope to have a career as lengthy as his and as important as his has been to people,” Jonas relayed about Springsteen.
Whether or not he gets his wish, it’s still touching to see Jonas showing such a strong appreciation for the rockers that paved the way.
