Watch: Shane MacGowan, Johnny Depp, Nick Cave Do Haiti Benefit Song

From PITCHFORK:
As previously reported, Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has recruited a battalion of punk stars to cover Screamin' Jay Hawkins' song "I Put a Spell on You", with money going to the Dublin charity Concern Worldwide's Haiti relief efforts. The track is released March 7 and is up for pre-order now.

Watch the video for the track, embedded below, via Prefix. It features footage of MacGowan, Nick Cave, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, the Clash's Mick Jones (banging on a fire extinguisher!), the Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock, and more recording in the studio. Sunset Rubdown fan Johnny Depp plays guitar.
