“Abracadabra 2” is now available on Disney+, and shows the return of the Sanderson Sisters 29 years after the first film. In addition to having been part of the original cast, as Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimi and Doug Jones, also features a new musical performance by the protagonists. That’s because in the 1993 film, the scene in which they sing “I Put a Spell on You” became a feature of the production. Look at the moment!

[ALERTA DE SPOILER]

As in “Abracadabra”, the Sanderson sisters end up putting on a musical performance to bewitch the adults of Salem in the sequel. In the new plot, the witches sing “One Way or Another”, a song by the American band blond. And the choice of repertoire was not random: the sisters are after Jeffry Traske (Tony Hale), the mayor of the city who is a direct descendant of the reverend in charge of expelling them from the district in the 17th century, a detail that we discover at the beginning of the film.

The song’s lyrics fit the plot moment perfectly. This is because they need to find Traske anyway, in order to carry out their plan. Thus, the excerpts “One way or another, I’ll get you” clearly refer to his “hunt” for the mayor. See the scene!

“One Way or Another” was released in 1978, being one of the tracks from Blondie’s third album, titled “Parallel Lines”. What few know is that it is based on a true story. Debbie Harrysinger and leader of the group, explained the reason for writing this song in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The singer said the lyrics are about an ex-boyfriend who chased her through the streets of New Jersey, which even drove her out of town. However, she and the bassist Nigel Harrisondecided that it would give a lightness to the music.

“I was chased by a monster, so the lyrics came out of a difficult personal event. But I tried to infuse some lightness into it to make it more cheerful. I think it’s kind of a mechanism Get away somehow, get on with your life.

The tube is one of the main of the group and is in 24th position of the Billboard Hot 100 list and is number 7 of the RPM 100 singles, classification of a famous Canadian magazine. The song has been covered by several bands and the most recent release was by One Direction in 2013.
