#538: shane macgowan, nick cave, bobby gillespie, glen matlock, chrissie hynde, mick jones, johnny depp, and more - i put a spell on you (2010)
the future of charity singles has been put in grave jeopardy by a group of tocacco-smoking rapscallions who have recorded such a pelvic, leathery, and tremendous screamin’ jay hawkins cover (to benefit haiti) that no one, including lionel richie, will be brave enough to gather a group of singing celebrities ever again. this is the charity single to end charity singles. someone get shane macgowan a nobel and a drink.
Holy cow. That is the scuzziest pack of nere-do-wells I’ve seen in a long time. And I had no idea Johnny Depp was that decent a guitar player. The best parts are when MacGowan, Cave, and Gillespie are just yelling incoherently at random over other lines.
Goddamn! I always hate that “We Are The World” shit, but this is gutsy as hell. They’ve got my $. Watch & listen & donate at Concern Worldwide.
