Sheryl Crow Debuts Cars: Lightning Racers Theme 20 Years After Her First Cars Song
It has been two decades since Sheryl Crow first serenated Lightning McQueen, Mater, and the other sentient automobiles in the town of Radiator Springs. In the opening scene of the 2006 Pixar motion picture Cars , Owen Wilson's young hotshot racer Lightning McQueen pulled some reckless moves in his quest for the Piston Cup, and Crow's song " Real Gone " played over the soundtrack. "Real Gone"…
Sheryl Crow made a surprising appearance at Disney's D23 event on Saturday, reuniting with the beloved Cars franchise. The multi-talented artist debuted the new theme song for the upcoming Disney Jr. series Cars: Lightning Racers, titled "Built to Last," followed by a performance of her iconic Cars track "Real Gone." This twist on a nostalgic return tied in with the 20th anniversary of the original Cars film, which premiered in 2006.
Crow not only provided vocals for the new series but also co-wrote ten original songs to accompany the show, set to premiere on Disney Jr. and Disney+ in 2027. Reunited with the original cast, including Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, and Bonnie Hunt, fans who attended the Anaheim event were treated to a live performance of Crow's new track before returning to a classic.
