Postmodern Jukebox “Die With a Smile”

Well, this made my day.

I LOVE, love, love Postmodern Jukebox, and I love the song “Die With a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

So, when PMJ dropped their version of the hit today, I couldn’t get to YouTube fast enough.

Check out this 1940’s Girl Trio version of “Die With a Smile”.

It’s perfect:

I think this may be one of my favorite re-imaginings yet from PMJ.

Everything… the vocals, music, structure… it’s magic.

Also, my three-year-old son is now obsessed and is demanding it nonstop.

Raising him right.

Want more PMJ?

“Die With a Smile” Acoustic Version

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have a big hit on their hand with “Die With a Smile”, and rightfully so, as it is absolutely gorgeous song.

Well recently, they released an acoustic version, and it’s stunning, of course:

Ok, so it’s not a big departure from the original, but I love that you hear Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s incredible vocals even more on this.

Just a perfect song highlighting two massive talents.

Can we just get a duet album from these two?

Pretty please?

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga Live in Vegas!

I am floored.

I mean, I already know that Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are some of the best talents in the business, but this recent live performance in Las Vegas of their hit duet “Die With a Smile” is just wow.

Like really, really, wow.

It is so rare for artists to sound as good or better than they do on a recording, but Bruno and Gaga just proved why they are still relevant and some of the absolute BEST out there.

Bruno is currently at the Dolby Live in Las Vegas, where he is in residency.

Also, I think we need a collaborative album with these two, don’t you think?

Oh, and just for comparison, here is the recorded version:
