This is a Teri and Greg mash-up, which is appropriate. It was Teri who first brought up the idea of musical themes for Unchained. At that time, I wrote this to her in email:
Here is why I like Unchained:
- The idea of free or even feral dogs
- Unleashed implies has-been-leashed or will-be-leashed-again, but unchained can suggest never-having-been-chained
- Again unlike unleashed, unchained has connotations of human slavery or imprisonment, and hence manumission or liberation
- The word looks and sounds hard and edgy, promoting a hard and edgy graphic representation
These metaphors are not new to me, nor is the metaphor of dancing. I don’t actually care about dancing, but I care a lot about metaphors.
Teri cares about dancing, though, so we start with this, Fred and Ginger, George and Ira and all that jazz:
I like that talented-nebbish-gets-the-girl thing, and I like the idea of people growing into their own moral authority, and who better to express those ideas in dance than… Jim Carrey…
Finally there’s this, from the King of Soul, James Brown:
Teri found a better version, but it can’t be embedded.
Are you dancing to a different beat? Tell us what we’re missing — but be patient. I have dozens of tunes on queue and it will take a while to get to them all.
