Many Things Have “The Touch”
You know. the awesome Stan Bush song from Transformers: The Movie. Stan himself emailed Seibertron to give a list of new things that have or will be receiving “the Touch” in the near future. These include:
? Guitar Hero
? Two Transformers toys (what?)
? Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
The last is just hopeful, as Bush will be submitting a new version of the song for possible inclusion in the movie (and I don’t have to say it, but if Michael Bay accepted it, I’d have a modicum of respect for the guy for the first time ever). I don’t know how two Hasbro toys will feature a song, but I’m highly interested in finding out how. As for Guitar Hero… crap. Rock Band, Stan. That was the way to go. Tell you what — give Rock Band “Dare,” and we’ll call it even.
