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. (via @alex_segura & @vultureblog)

In early 2010, Shane MacGowan and Victoria Mary Clarke organized a group of artists to re-record the song to benefit an Irish charity called Concern Worldwide helping victims of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. According to Concern Worldwide:

The stellar cast featured vocals from Shane MacGowan, Nick Cave and Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie, the Sex Pistols’ Glen Matlock, The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde and Paloma Faith and finally Eliza Doolittle. On guitars were James Walbourne, The Clash’s Mick Jones and Johnny Depp, who recorded his parts in LA. Long-time Pogues collaborator Cait O’Riordan played bass, and Carwyn Ellis played Hammond organ and piano. Drums were courtesy of Rob Walbourne and the fire hydrant was “played” by Mick Jones. - wikipedia
