The pop Danish band "Michael Learns To Rock" has adapted the
classic song Yi Wu Suo You (Nothing to My Name)
on their new album, I Walk This Road Alone, the West
China Metropolis Daily reported on Tuesday.
Like the original Nothing to My Name, which was written
by Cui Jian, dubbed as China's "Godfather of Rock 'N' Roll", the
Danish band's I Walk This Road Alone is a love song
accompanied by Chinese instruments like the bamboo flute.
According to the three members of the band, they chose this song
in honor of Cui.
The soft rock band already adapted Hong Kong pop king Jacky
Cheung's classic song, Kiss Goodbye into Take Me To
Your Heart, which was hailed by Chinese fans who honored them
with "Best International Band'' at the CCTV-MTV Music Awards in
2004.
An assistant for Cui said that he authorized "Michael Learns To
Rock" to adapt Nothing to My Name several years ago, and
he thinks the new song is a success.
