Jamiroquai singer complains about Hollywood
Published Sunday, May 8 2005, 12:14 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay has decided never to work with Hollywood producers again.
The singer is angry after Godzilla producers forced him to alter the lyrics to Deeper Underground, which appeared in the 1998 movie. When watching the film, Kay was shocked to discover that the song couldn't be heard anyway.
"Working with Hollywood, it ain't worth it," Breakingnews.ie quotes Kay as saying. "There's always some smart a**e - the first lyrics I wrote for the chorus to it were, 'It's a good day to die.' They decided that was a bit strong for the kids.
"When I heard it at minus 27 decibels in the film, in the back while people are talking, I thought, 'What was all the fuss about?'"
