This is in equal parts fantastic and utterly hilarious. Shane MacGowan has gone down the charity single route and pulled in some of his mates to record a cover of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins 1956 hit “I Put A Spell On You”. Featuring his rather distinctive vocal talents, he’s also roped in Johnny Depp, Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie, Paloma Faith, Eliza Doolittle, Mick Jones and Chrissie Hynde too.
“I Put A Spell On You” will be available from IRL Records on download only via pre-ordering the single by clicking here. Or text SPELL (all in capitals) to 78789 (the text cost £1.50). All proceeds will go to Concern Worldwide’s work in Haiti.
