You've got the touch

We all remember Stan Bush's "the Touch" from the seminal 1980's film masterpiece The Transformers: The Movie. That movie had everything: Orson Wells slumming it for cash, the childhood crushing deaths of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Prowl, Ratchet, Brawn, Windcharger and Wheeljack, Judd Nelson's career defining role as Rodimus Prime, and Bush's song about having the touch.

Now with the advent of a second Transformers movie from Michael Bay and the official death of God, Stan has decided he needs to hook up "the Touch" to Bay's money wagon. Not only did he update the song to give it a more 2009 feel, he decided to just say "fuck it" and make the song sound completely like the Linkin Park song from the last movie. Is there hilarious video of it? Of course there is.



Well done Mr. Bush. You've still got "it". "It" being "the touch". But if Bay's got his head on straight, we all know he'll choose to use the superior version of "the Touch": The Diggler version.
