Well, This is an Odd Way to Resurrect a Music Career
Back in 1981, Kim Wilde was a hot British pop star, largely because of a song called “Kids in America” from her self-titled debut album. Although she continues to release albums (she has 12), Wilde has never been able to capture the magic of that first single. Until now.
Not that she’s suffering. She’s quite the gardener, having hosted a couple of programs on the subject for the BBC. She’s also written at least four books about rooting about in the dirt, stars in infomercials about eco-friendly product and does a serious of commercial endorsements. She also works as a DJ at a London radio station called Magic FM.
On the way home from the station Christmas party, this impromptu version of “Kids in America” ended up on someone’s mobile phone and has since gone viral. Compare this version to the original.
