The visual for poignant version of 4 Non Blondes’ signature song was filmed at a Nashville elementary school.
The superstar songwriter/producer also appears in the just-released video for the song, which was filmed at a Nashville elementary school on the hottest day of the year. “First of all, I love Linda Perry. Second of all, I love this song written by Linda,” Parton said in a statement about the song that perennially asks a question with no clear answer about the state of the world today.
“Third of all, I love being a part of this video to try to make people think about what’s going on in this world today,” Parton, 77, added. “Shout out to the little children that helped with the video! If our children don’t make it, then what will? Again, I ask ‘What’s Up?’ Enjoy.” The visual for the poignant take on the tune finds Parton singing the song on a stage — with Perry gently strumming an acoustic guitar — as children from Nashville’s Eakin Elementary school sit at her feet. Parton has long supported childhood literacy through her“How is one supposed to react when the greatest and most prolific songwriter in the world wants to cover a song YOU wrote?,” Perry said in a statement. “Her version of ‘What’s Up?’ is so good.
The Perry track is the latest preview of the anticipated 30-song collection , following last month’s Paul McCartney/Ringo Starr-assisted cover of the Beatles’ “Let It Be,” originals “World on Fire” and “Bygones” , as well as covers of Queen’s “We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions”) and Heart’s “Magic Man.”
Among the rock world luminaries joining Parton on the album are: Sting , former Journey singer Steve Perry , John Fogerty , Joan Jett , goddaughter Miley Cyrus , Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo , among many others.
