Brand new sonic impulses…

11 March 2019

At the end of this month, Walt Disney Productions will release a new Tim Burton-directed version movie of that cute little elephant Dumbo. In the original 1941 animation movie BABY MINE a song written by Frank Churchill and Ned Washington, is sung by the mother
of Dumbo as a lullaby to her baby. This time the song is performed by, yes, ARCADE FIRE.

Frontman Win Butler revealed details about their contribution: “My mom plays the harp on the track, my brother the theremin, my wife sings and plays drums, and our son even plays the triangle, as well as the rest of our ‘family’ in Arcade Fire. I will forever relate to the song thinking about the people I hold so dear that are so precious to me.” So I guess Elton John is fired as the in-house Disney composer and the once so great Canadian band replaced him. I truly don’t see the point, except for the fact that they want some cheap publicity and hope to gain a new fan audience. Here’s Arcade Fire‘s totally cheesy 2019 Dumbo song…
