>>> FRIENDS, WE WILL BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE TRUISM.
THEY HAVE NO FURRY.
YES, IT TURNS OUT SOME VERY
FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE REMAKING THE
CLASSIC IN SOMEWHAT TROUBLING
HOLIDAY SONG, BABY, IT'S COLD
OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE. GIVEN THE 2019 POLISH, SO THE
SONG WILL SHOW CONSENT.
THAT'S ALL FINE AND GOOD AND
CHECK THE NOTES.
THAT'S BEEN DONE.
NOW A COUPLE OF MUSICIANS IN
THIS TOWN ALREADY DID IT THREE
YEARS AGO AND IT IS VERY WELL
KNOWN THAT THEY DID.
>> Reporter: IN 2016 LYDIA,
LIZA, AND JOSIAH HAD A NEW IDEA
FOR AN OLD HOLIDAY SONG.
AND THEY DID TO THE LOCAL
FANFARE AND THOUSANDS OF
STREETS.
STREETS.
STREETS. ♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪
♪
♪ WE
♪ WE HAVE
♪ WE HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN. ♪
♪
♪ >>
♪ >> Reporter: THEY PLAYED THE
SONG RIGHT HERE ON BREAKING THE
NEWS, HEARD BY A WHOLE LOT OF
NEWS ORGANIZATIONS OUTSIDE OF
THIS PLACE.
THIS PLACE. PEOPLE MAGAZINE, HUFFINGTON
POST, CNN, EVEN TUCKER CARLSON
HAD THEM ON FOX NATIONAL NEWS.
>> WE WEREN'T REALLY OUT TO
CHANGE.
CHANGE.
CHANGE. >> AND NOT IN THE ORIGINAL AT
ALL.
ALL.
ALL. THEY
ALL. THEY JUST WANTED TO UPDATE IT
TO NEW EARS.
>> Reporter: OF COURSE, THEY
WOULD GET THE NATIONAL PUSHBACK
FOR THOSE WHO HATED WHAT THEY
DID AND NATIONAL APPLAUSE BY
OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY CREATED.
AND SO IT WAS A TAD SURPRISING
FOR ONE AND IN THAT ORIGINAL
DUO TO HEAR THIS WEEK'S NEWS.
THE JOHN LEGEND AND
KELLYCLARKSTON REMADE THE SONG
OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH
THE SAME FLAVOR ALMOST THE
EXACT SAME FLAVOR THAT OUR
LOCALS ALREADY DID.
>> I WAS READING THE LYRICS
THAT THEY RELEASED.
>> AND LYDIA IS A LITTLE BUMMED
TO SAY THE LEAST.
THAT THIS MEGA REMAKE ISN'T AT
THE VERY LEAST ACKNOWLEDGING
SHE AND JOSIAH'S WORK.
>> GIVE US A NOD.
>> LYDIA ISN'T LOOKING FOR
MONEY.
MONEY.
MONEY. THAT WAS NEVER HER POINT.
BUT OF ALL THE MONEY SHE MADE
IN HER REMAKE WAS DONATED TO
ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL FIGHT
TO END SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
SHE IS HOPING LEGEND AND
CLARKSTON WILL EXTEND THEIR
UNKNOWING LIMITATION OF WORK
WITH AT LEAST ONE MORE
IMITATION.
IMITATION. >> AND NOW I'M JUST HOPING THAT
THEY WILL DO SOMETHING WITH IT,
SOMETHING IMPORTANT.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT. RAISING ABOUT $10,000 BACK IN
2016 AND AS THE HOLIDAYS WILL
APPROACH THIS YEAR, THEIR SONG
HAVE BEEN STREAMED 100,000
TIMES.
TIMES.
TIMES. THAT SHE'S PASSIONATE ABOUT.
CONSENT.
CONSENT.
CONSENT. IN THE LAST DAY, THE NEW YORK
TIMES, SHE CHANGED THEIR STORY
ABOUT THE REMAKE TO INCLUDE THE
RECOGNITION FOR LYDIA, REMAKING
IT THIS WAY FIRST.
IF REMAKING IT WILL BE THE TUNE
OF THE DAY, WE WILL HAVE AN
IDEA.
IDEA.
IDEA. >>
IDEA. >> WHAT I'M TRYING TO MANIFEST
THE LAST FEW DAYS, THAT HE WILL
COVER OUR VERSION.
IT WILL BE THERE AND IT IS
REALLY GOOD.
REALLY GOOD. >> Reporter: IF THEY COULD ADD
A WISH.
A WISH.
A WISH. >> ALL I WANT IS A DINNER PARTY
WITH JOHN.
WITH JOHN. WHATEVER.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. NO BIG DEAL.
>> IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
I'M IN L.A.
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. IT
NOW. IT IS CALMING.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> BYE. >> THANKS FOR COMING OVER.
>> YEAH, SHE IS, IN FACT, IN
LOS ANGELES TO PLAY HER FIRST
SHOW IN THAT CITY TONIGHT.
WHILE SHE'S BEEN THERE, SHE HAS
TRIED TO TAG JOHN LEGEND AND
KELLY KLARKSTON TO DISCUSS THIS
WHOLE THING AND
