A take on the original "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", a political song addressing issues that are not publicised and often kept secret about. Smoove only this year remixed this song and in fact renamed it, saying The Revolution WILL Be Televised, the new version addresses our state of society today and how convergence is changing the way we live. How we "will be able to do everything you need from your potato couch" and how the revolution will "be recorded on miniDV and kept in the pocket, then transferred to all available formats".
The song is sung in a rap format, using different effects to represent its modernism, it is very fast representing the pace of life. The song also represents the working world "for those who won't be able to attend, except for live satellite link, due to their current revolutionary commitments". Representing the great use of technology in o ur world.
I think this song is a great conclusion of the digital convergence culture we live in. Have a listen!
