Daughtry and CNN To Lure “First Time” Voters With Foreigner Cover

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdail...reigner-cover/

Chris Daughtry has joined CNN’s League of First Time Voters by contributing a cover of Foreigner’s “Feels Like the First Time.” The song will help soundtrack special reports throughout CNN’s election coverage focusing on first time votes as they navigate the platforms of both Barack Obama and John McCain. “We strongly believe that it doesn’t matter who you vote for, as long as you vote,” said Daughtry. “Getting to rerecord a classic song like this was a real honor for us, and we hope it helps inspire people to vote.” Even Foreigner’s Mick Jones is down with the new version, saying “Daughtry’s version of the song is very cool and has more than captured the essence of the original.”
Here's the video:

Pretty cool little cover.


Note: The song will also be available on the Daughtry Deluxe reissue, due out September 9th.

That CNN is so hip -- I also hear they'll have KC and the Sunshine Band on their inauguration special.

Seriously, isn't this guy's 15 minutes over yet?

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not, but anyway so do adults like myself.

Opening the thread I expected the cover to be "Urgent."

Strangely enough, I had a young Xbox LIVE friend quoting me lyrics to "Jukebox Hero" the other night. One of his favorite songs. Oh well, he's too young to vote at 11 years old.

Young people don't vote anyway. It will take more than a Foreigner cover from an American Idol contestant to rouse them from their apathy.

America doesn't need more voters. It needs more informed voters.
