      Wow………other …
      Wow………other than Eliza Doolittle at 1:48 this is truly, truly awful. It seemed like the majority were horribly out of tune. Now, I can’t sing myself but I do recognize sour notes when I hear them (the 1st woman was in tune and Chrissy Hynde has always been slightly out of tune and an acquired taste).

      A fabulous and deserving cause, but still………just awful.

      Someone should have done the Screamin’ Jay Hawkins bit, and dressed up and hollered hysterical nonsense. It would have been great to see Nick Cave hopping around with a skull -topped stick wearing some funky voodo-suit.

      Good man, Shane …
      Good man, Shane McGowan! Though I think he missed a trick here: Screaming Jay Hawkins, who originally performed the song, used to use the gimmick of jumping out of a coffin to perform. I’m sure Shane’s fans wouldn’t have missed the potential irony here; in fact, how about Shane, Nick Cave and Bobby Gillespie ALL jumping out of coffins?!! Now that would have been a GREAT video!

      I saw the Sex Pistols about 2 years ago, but they sucked HARD, he definitly didn’t sing like that back then.
