    If they were really going to do a new one, I'd dig up a tune from Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Sousa or George Gershwin and try to reanimate Johnny Mercer or Cole Porter, maybe I'd settle for Jimmy Webb or Steven Schwartz or Sondheim.

    Trey Songz. The original is set to the tune of a drinking song, so it's only fitting that Songz should do it so he can use his "Bottoms Up" as inspiration

    Is that any worse than attending a Dave Matthews concert?

    Not that I want her to write it, but Dolly Parton is actually a pretty good songwriter.

    I don't care who writes it, so long as Enrico Palazzo sings it.
