Hangover II: Tyson vs. Robey One Night In Bangkok Face Off

LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Not only did Warner Bros., The Hangover Part II score the best opening of all time for a comedy at the box office, it grossed the most of any R-rated film in its first five days. Debuting last week on the eve of the long Memorial Day weekend, it earned $137.3 million through Monday; beating the $134.3 million earned by The Matrix Reloaded in its first five days.

And speaking of The Hangover Part II, when legendary music-producer Joel Diamond originally heard a sneak preview "backer's audition" and very operatic sounding demo recording of "One Night In Bangkok" from the forthcoming Broadway Show "Chess," he knew immediately that this was a #1 song. Without a moment's hesitation, he booked studio time to record a very contemporary version with New York's top model and star of the TV Series "Friday the 13th", Robey. It was immediately released (both a radio and extended long Club version), along with a video, on the Silver Blue Records label and thereafter, flew into the Top 10 in Billboard.

Says Diamond: "If I had known back then that Mike Tyson wanted to make his recording debut with this song (which he performs in the current Hangover 2 movie), I certainly would have considered the "Champ" instead of just going for the "Knockout." However, that being said, now in 2011, Mike Tyson has now breathed new life into the Robey recording both in the clubs as well as radio and a plethora of new, young and super successful re-mixers all wanting a crack at it." Love the Diamond-man!

Who would you rather: Tyson or Robey?
