Robert Ellis Orrall - "Ultimate"
I don't think I've ever seen the 2003 remake of Freaky Friday , and, if I did, it didn't make enough of an impression for me to remember watching it. This weekend sees the release of a sequel, Freakier Friday. The soundtrack included a song called "Ultimate" which was performed by Lindsay Lohan. The new film has the song performed by The Beaches, and, not to be outdone, the song's writer has released his own version today. Robert Ellis Orrall is a Massachusetts native and producer, and his version is a pop rock track leaning towards power pop. It's a fun and upbeat song that you certainly don't need to be a fan of the original to enjoy. It's the kind of song that doesn't sound like it would belong on a Disney soundtrack, but once you know its origins, it makes sense. Of course, if you're a die hard Freaky Friday fan, or of Lohan's version of the song, this version of "Ultimate" might be a little extra fun. Robert Ellis Orrall ...
