Right you are, Gary. The first three verses are indeed different...

American Pie Edit:
He spent his whole life being too young
To live the life that's in his dreams
At night he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?

Album Version:
He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen
And then he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?

As far as I can tell, the lyrics are the same throughout the rest of the song. Even so, the "Album Version" obviously cannot be edited to come up with the "American Pie Edit" as I had previously insinuated.

The lyrics are different in the American Pie Edit. ]]> Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:51:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20516&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20516 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20463&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20463 Author: Todd Ireland

I found my promo CD single of 3 Doors Down's "Be Like That". The inserts and CD states "from American Pie 2" and was issued on Republic/Universal catalog #UNIR 20540-2. The disc contains the following tracks and actual run times:

1) AMERICAN PIE EDIT - 3:55 (printed time: 3:57)
2) ACOUSTIC VERSION - 4:23 (printed time: 4:15)
3) ALBUM VERSION - 4:25 (same as printed time)

If anyone's interested, my copy from RPM Top Hits USA is listed as the American Pie Edit. The RPM site also lists an acoustic version, though I don't own that. Not sure if that was a 3rd version available, or the LP version.]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:42:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20360&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20360 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20358&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20358 Author: Pat Downey

You are correct, the two different versions are due to the original LP version and the soundtrack to American Pie 2 version, not 45 and LP differences.]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:31:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20358&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20358 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20355&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20355 Author: Todd Ireland

Pat:

In the database, you denote "45 version" and "LP version" designations for CD appearances of 3 Doors Down's "Be Like That". Was there ever an official commercial single release for the song? I don't recall ever seeing one.

I do have a promo CD single somewhere in my library. I'll fish it out and report back with the track listing and run times.]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 07:33:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4477&PID=20355&title=be-like-that-3-doors-down#20355
