NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Ever since she left No Doubt, she has done nothing but butcher classic Broadway hits. First, "If I Were a Rich Man," now this! Rodgers and Hammerstein must be rolling in their graves.

I think its hilarious! I heard it and was laughing out loud. Granted its not the best song but its catchy.

I can't wait to hear this! is it single released for radio?

Ooh! I love Gwen Stefani, but the only thing is if it is a hit I will probably hate that song for the rtest of eternity.

I swear, hearing Rich Girl makes me shudder. And now so does If i Were A Rich Man.

I loved Rich Girl. And The Sound of Music is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm sure I'll get a kick out of this. Can't wait to hear it!

What is the name of the song? Is it her new single? If so, there is probably a video and I must get the VJ at the bar I go to, to play it.

Its called "Wind It Up." There's no video yet because it hasn't been officially released yet. I think its kinda catchy. I can totally see her tying in the marionette scene from the movie into the video.

I could not believe it. I think it's really lame.

IMO, Gwen's done.

She needs a new bag.

It's lousy, in the same way that Fergie's 'London Bridge' is lousy. Doesn't mean it won't be a hit. A lot of lousy songs are hits. And, naturally, the best thing about it, is the sample.

I absolutely despised "Rich Girl," and this new song sounds like it could be even worse! Oy.

Edited to fix the spelling of "goatherd" in the subject. Updated On: 10/25/06 at 03:33 PM

WHYYY? What is with performers sampling Broadway tunes? First Jay-Z or some other rapper sampled "Hard-knock Life," then Gwen and "Rich Girl," now this. When will they stop!? It's horrible.

What song sampled hard knock?

I love Gwen! I think her music always make me go Bananas and makes me want to dance. The new song is catchy nontheless.

"What song sampled hard knock?"

Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) by Jay-Z

Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) also sampled it in his parody of Jay-Z's song.

I love Gwen Stefani, so to me she can do no wrong. I'm very curious as to how the sample will be used, however. Too bad the song's not on iTunes yet.

Here's the most astute article I've read yet on Ms. Stefani. And this song.

Gwen Stefani is Crazy.

I think Shakira should have been the first to sample a song about a goatherd.

You people are never happy. You want everyone to love Broadway, yet you don't want anyone to hear the music.

And it's hardly "all she's done", she's done it twice now. For the record, I LOVE "Rich Girl."

It seems that this may be the lead off single from her forthcoming CD called "The Sweet Escape", due out on December 5th. If so, I am sure a video will be out soon.

"You people are never happy."

Look who's typing.
