In the latest Superstar to Superstar, Glamazon Beth Phoenix chats with Zididada’s vocalist, Jimmy Colding, about the music business, sports-entertainment and which WWE Superstar is most like a Viking. The Danish indie band’s recent hit, “Take It All,” is the official theme song for WWE’s Judgment Day, which airs live this Sunday, only on pay-per-view.

Beth: Hi guys. It’s nice to meet you.

Jimmy Colding of Zididada: Hey, Beth!

B: So tell me about the meaning of “Zididada.”

Z: “Zididada” really doesn’t mean anything. We took the name from a fairytale city somewhere in Central America — Zididada sounds like it should be coming from that area. The song, “Take It All,” is basically about Danny Linde (lead and rhythm guitars) and I going independent, because we’ve been on a major label for six years. And “Take It All,” is a song about going your own way and doing it the way you believe it should be done. It’s just basically a great rock song first of all, but it’s also a statement from Zididada.

B: So going on your own and discovering yourselves as independents, that involves a great deal of risk. But do you feel that there’s more satisfaction in the results that you guys have had going off on your own [without a major label]? Do you find more satisfaction despite the risk of taking this on without a major label?

In the latest Superstar to Superstar, two strong, sexy women become quick friends, as Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix talks to actress and singer Lucy Lawless. It seems the Glamazon and the star of Battlestar Galactica and, of course, Xena: Warrior Princess have plenty in common.

Beth: On Battlestar Galactica, I found out your character was killed off last season, but you’ll be returning for additional episodes. I know you can’t give me a whole lot of details, but can you give me a taste of what’s in store for you?

Lucy: My character … My character …You know what? I’ve been sworn to absolute secrecy!

B: No problem!

L: With that show … in geek roles, as I lovingly call them, the people really don’t want spoilers. So I think the producers really try to honor that, so they can keep everybody surprised all the time. … There are some surprising returns, a lot of the characters. You’re going to be shocked, let’s put it that way. There are some twists and turns that you would have never predicted.

B: Awesome. So, in other words, make sure we watch! Stay tuned.

L: Yeah.
