“Lovers Forever”, co-written by Cher and Shirley Eikhard, was originally intended to be in the Anne Rice film-adaptation of “Interview With A Vampire”, featuring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Christian Slater.

The song was cut and shelved - to be reborn as a EDM-club anthem on 2013’s “Closer to the Truth”. This ballad version reimagines what the original song could have sounded like, based on an early instrumental/demo by Eikhard.

“Something to Talk About” Songwriter Shirley Eikhard Dies at 67

- “I’m deeply saddened,” Bonnie Raitt says

Songwriter Shirley Eikhard, best known as the author of Bonnie Raitt’s “Something to Talk About,” died Dec. 15 from complications of cancer, according to her website.

She was 67.

“I’m deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Shirley Eikhard, the wonderful Canadian singer/songwriter who wrote my hit song, ‘Something to Talk About,’” Raitt said in a statement. “My condolences go out to her family and friends.”

That song earned Eikhard her 2020 induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Her 18 solo albums and songwriting for Rita Coolidge, Chet Atkins, Emmylou Harris, Anne Murray, with whom Eikhard sung background vocals, and others, earned her countless fans and admirers.

“She was a wonderful person and consummate talent - an amazing musician, a great singer and a fine songwriter,” Murray said of her “old friend,” Eikhard.

In Memoriam: Shirley Eikhard (1955 - 2022)

In Memoriam: Shirley Eikhard (1955 – 2022)

Shirley Rose Eikhard (November 7, 1955 – December 15, 2022) was a Canadian singer-songwriter. Although moderately successful in Canada as a performer in her own right, she had her greatest Canadian and international success as a songwriter for other artists, most notably as the writer of Bonnie Raitt’s 1991 hit “Something to Talk About”. Eikhard was born in Sackville, New Brunswick. Her mother,…

All the actors playing vampires were required to hang upside down for up to thirty minutes at a time during make-up. This would force all the blood in their bodies to rush to their heads, causing the blood vessels in their faces to bulge. The make-up artists would then trace over the swollen veins, creating the eerie, translucent-skinned look. Unfortunately for the actors, they would have to repeat the process several times over, as the blood would quickly drain from their heads. This, in part, accounts for the lengthy make-up process.

Tom Cruise was placed on an elevated platform during some scenes to reduce the height difference between his character and other vampires.

Tom Cruise prepped for the role of Lestat by watching videos of lions attacking zebras in the wild.

During filming, tensions developed between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt over the latter's alleged poor personal hygiene. According to Cruise, his co-star didn't use any deodorant and the resulting body odor became noticeable.

Due to Anne Rice's fear that her novel was not being adapted because Lestat and Louis could be perceived as homosexuals, at one point, she rewrote Louis as a woman, considering Cher for the role. While, eventually, the role went back to being male, Cher, along with Shirley Eikhard, wrote a song for the movie's soundtrack called "Lovers Forever", that was rejected by producers but eventually released on Cher's 2013 album, "Closer to the Truth".

Due to not getting along during filming, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt refused to work with each other ever again.

The things that you read on IMDB trivia page for Interview with the Vampire 1994. Lololololol. And these are just a few of the fun facts.

Something to Talk About

People are talking, talking 'bout people

I hear them whisper, you won't believe it

They think we're lovers kept under cover

I'll just ignore it, but they keep saying

We laugh just a little too loud

Stand just a little too close

We stare just a little too long

Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'

.

Let's give 'em something to talk about

Let's give 'em something to talk about

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love?

.

I feel so foolish, I never noticed

You'd act so nervous

Could you be falling for me?

It took a rumor to make me wonder

Now I'm convinced I'm going under

Thinking 'bout you everyday

Dreaming 'bout you every night

I'm hoping that you feel the same way

Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'

.

Let's give 'em something to talk about

A little mystery to figure out, babe

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love, love, love?

.

Let's give 'em something to talk about, babe

A little mystery to figure out

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love?

Ooh, listen up, baby

A little mystery won't hurt

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about our love, love, love, love?

How about love, love, love?
