Shane MacGowan, Johnny Depp, Nick Cave, Chrissie Hynde and others cover Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’s “I Put a Spell on You” in aid of Concern Worldwide’s work in Haiti. It’s an awesome cover and, as Vulture and others point out, very much the anti-ego & bullshit publicity grab that the “We Are the World” redux seemed to be. I’ll buy this mp3, for sure.
