Fame (I Wanna Live Forever)

from unsung string duo by Matthew Pierce

/

about

“The National Anthem” isn’t the real National Anthem, but it could be. This tune is actually a perverse conflation of the National Anthem, American blues figures, and the song “FAME (I’m gonna live forever)” from the movie of the same name. Since America leads the world in celebrity-worship, we figured this would be fitting. This recording was made live off the sound board at the Wooster Group’s Performing Garage in New York City in 1996 so it is gloriously cheesy. Byron plays electric guitar and “sings” the high part, Matthew plays electric violin and “sings” the low part.
