‘KNOT AGAIN!’ ‘TIE A YELLOW RIBBON’ GETS DANCE CLUB TREATMENT



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – The spy plane crisis in China may have been bad for U.S.-China relations but it could be great for the composer of “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ’Round The Old Oak Tree.” That’s because a teen pop group called Voice Of Reason has just recorded a dance version of the Tony Orlando tune designed to “bring the song into the millennium.” Producer Joel Diamond – who has also produced David Hasselhoff and Englebert Humperdinck – says he was inspired to remake the ditty after seeing 20 trees with yellow ribbons on his way to work. The remake hasn’t been released in stores but has already gotten rave reviews from original composer L. Russell Brown, who told Diamond, “Every time there’s a hostage situation, I make money.”
