Now HERE’S a charity song you can sink your teeth into. Our insightful colleague Lisa Derrick at The Huffington Post obviously has a thing for Shane MacGowan like we do. She revealed that Shane gathered up some buddies including Johnny Depp, Nick Cave, and Chrissie Hynde, to record a new version of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ classic “I Put a Spell on You” to raise money for Haiti. It’s cool to see Shane and Johnny together again and the song is a lot less sappy than most fundraising songs – give it a listen. (By the way, what happened to Shane’s “new” teeth?)

Chrissie Hynde’s voice is so fantastic, I just love anything she does. So distintive she stands out from all the rest immediately. It’s funny how there have been so many years of American Idol now and no one has come close to coming out with a voice like heres, or a new k.d.lang. They are so interchangable and bland. Yes, they can sing and carry a tune, but they just are not memorable. Like Simon says, as soon as you’ve heard it, you forget it.
And what’s up with the toothless guy on this video? I’m sure he can afford teeth, if not, I’m sure Johnny Depp will spring for some choppers for him! YUCK!
@Reta. grow up!
If your preference for singers depends on their dentistry, then you’ve missed out on THE POGUES and the poetry Shane MacGowan has given us.
Who are the first 2 females that sing in this video? They are very good.

t know about you, but last time I checked, the Reval was done in.
The most cost effective option to move your possessions is nearly always by sea especially
if you’ve got several years worth of belongings. Surprisingly, the Japanese media reported little on reaction towards karate’s rejection.
Addressing the Austin City Council, Bush highlighted that a
“long chain of events, policy papers, closed door meetings and international agreements that began long ago” are what has
resulted in local approval of New World Order control by the ruling
elite. Then, if the government chooses to go further,
they would have to come to Guatemala, hire local counsel, and ask for the law firm
to reveal who the owner is.
