JH and Disney have something in common...

Mitchel Musso, of "Hannah Montana" fame, (he plays her brother's best friend, I think) has recorded "The In Crowd," and Disney Records will be releasing the song as the lead single off his upcoming album (2009).

There are a few lyric modifications - I assume to make it "Disney - friendly", but the track remains pretty close to my version. I always loved that song and it fits him perfectly.

The single will premiere on Radio Disney on Dec 5, and move on from there.

Life is funny. I like it.

John

did they have to get your permission to do that? how did that work? pretty cool though !

Brian

Can't say I care for the kid's performing style. But somebody around him has good taste in song selection

i know scotty kormos who plays drums for him when he is on tour....

wow....small world



I wonder what its like to be remembered- John Hampson

I hope you'll get richer from this thing man... i'm sure i'll still love your version more but it will be intresting to hear

good luck with the new recordings, can't wait to buy the album

I am just glad John gets a paycheck for once! The man been paying out of his pocket for years. Good things happen to those that wait..so it seems.



Dickie

That?s cool man, still love your version. The same with Brand New Me also recorded by another band called Stereo Fallout

RANDOM. but good for you john!

I haven't posted on here in a while, but I couldn't resist after reading this and watching the Youtube video of the Hannah Montana kid interpreting John's song. It was kinda surreal, and amazingly, not a butchering like I thought it'd be. Still nowhere as great as the original.

Disney's got deep pockets. Take 'em for what they got, John

If I see Johnny rolling up in a Bentley all pimped out at the next show, Ill know who funded it.

I hate to say this but this guy sounds like he could be a REAL young JH. It's a great song with a great message for young people which may actually get out there with Disney behind it. Good on ya John

weird!

"you should never let the sun set on tomorrow before the sun rises today"

I listened to the studio verson that the Musso kid recorded, its on youtube now. Anyways it isn't really that bad

Wait so this is John's song? And big fat disney wants to get it's dribbling chops on it and give the credit to someone else? am I getting this straight?

Cop out!

It'll never be a "John Hampson" song ever again.

disney has to pay him.
