I Put A Spell On You [Feb. 26th, 2010|09:04 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Share Next Entry

I actually thought this was a joke when I saw Kristen Merveilleuse link to it. But no. This is actually Shane MacGowan, Nick Cave, Johnny Depp, Chrissie Hynde, Glen Matlock and a shitload of others covering "I Put A Spell On You" as a benefit record to aid Haiti reconstruction. Pre-order it here.

I reckon you should appear on a Nick Cave album playing violin just to confuse and annoy people.

Either that...

...or his doing so would open an infernal portal where the FreakAngels are real.

Either way, I have no problem with this. Thanks for the video, boss.

I'm scared. Yet strangely happy by this. Plus, Chrissie Hynde is still bloody awesome.

Wow. Amazing. But Shane MacGowan is and remains one of the most terrifying people on this planet.

Seriously. I'm teaching myself blues guitar, and this song just popped back up on my radar and straight to the top of my "must learn!" list.

I can't tell if Jay Hawkins would be amused or horrified.

I like the intention but the singers were clearly far too sober.

Hear hear; I found it unfortunate that Paloma Faith was the only one who appeared to really give a fuck.
