You’ve got the touch…

You’ve got the poooweeeeerrrrrrr

YEAH!

Start to sing that to any child of the 80s, and they’ll immediately chime in, as it’s the opening lines of the song “The Touch”, by Stan Bush.

Made famous in the original, animated Transformers movie, it’s arguably one of the seminal songs of the current nerd generation.

So of course, with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hitting theaters, they had to remake it, right?

Set your ears for dissapointment, as the 2009 version of “The Touch” is slow tempoed, and Linkin Park-esq, right down to a bootleg version of your standard “white, maybe asian?” rapper dude.

Holy shit does this suck. Click play in the YouTube video above to hate your life. Happy Friday!

EDIT - 4:05PM: Just found out something that either makes this more hysterical, or far sadder…this isn’t officially in Transformers 2, yet. Bush made the song and the video for quote, “hopeful consideration for Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.'” Oh man. Stan, what happened, man?
