Shane MacGowan on Simon Cowells charity single:
"When I heard that shite, I thought 'f*** it', let's show him how
it's done' and that's how we came to do our version of 'I Put A Spell On You'.
That's what a charity single should sound like, Tree Trunk Neck."
Cait O'Riordan's response:. "Tree Trunk Neck!, I love it.
That's the best description of Simon Cowell I've ever heard."
