Foxwoods brings back 'The Wonder of It All'
Foxwoods is reintroducing its once-ubiquitous and oft-maligned ad theme song, "The Wonder of It All," and you could be the one singing it in upcoming commercials. The casino explains: "Anyone with even the slightest clue about pop culture throughout the 1990s could likely sing a few lines." True, but we've been working so hard to scrub those schmaltzy brass notes from our collective memory. Why make us relive the nightmare? Foxwoods says it wants to "find a new voice" for the song through a contest that invites artists to upload their own MP3 versions. Jeez, instead of sub-Sinatra rendition by John Pizzarelli (who?), there'll be dozens of renditions floating around the Web! Good lord, Dokken could give it a go, with harmonies from the chicken. I'm betting that no matter which version wins, the jingle will still sound like craps. |

Comparing anyone to Sinatra is going to leave you unimpressed; however, John Pizzarelli is an incredibly talented jazz musician who simultaneously scats the individual notes he plays on his guitar. Unfortunately this rendition doesn't allow him to showcase said talent.

John Pizzarelli's version of The Wonder of It All is the best song since ... Parachute Woman ... Til the End of the Day ... Somewhere Beyond the Sea ... Bernadette ... Badge ...
