![]() ![]() (But what is going on in the background?!) 3:04 – Joan Armatrading Apologies to Brett, whose contribution is very much valued. Never occurred to me that Larry Mullen is a drummer. Oh god, here’s another one of baby me’s mistakes. ![]() F**K YES COURTNEY PINE! 2:54 – Brett Anderson of Suede 2:37 – F**K YES SAXOPHONE MAN!Įxcuse my excitement, his real name is Courtney Pine. Sorry Evan! You added a nice bit of dramatic flair with your five seconds of screentime! 2:32 – Emmylou Harris againĮmmy you’re doing amazing sweetie. 2:26 – Evan DandoĬonfession time: Watching this video as a child I just assumed Evan Dando was Bob Geldof (I was six and didn’t know who The Lemonheads were, but very familiar with Dustin the Turkey collaborator Geldof). They gave him the word ‘perfect’ to say again! They had to have done this on purpose, it’s so delightful. We miss you Gabrielle! Come back! 2:23 – Dr John again “HAMGLADEASPENDITWID-A-UUU!” Indiscernible as an actual sentence of words, but it sounds sublime anyway. I’ve also never been fully on board with Tinyman Babyvoice here. 2:12 – Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds See? Huey’s spoken-word bit always unnerved me slightly. Let’s get it trending! #RobertDeservedTheWholeLine 2:07 – Huey Morgan of the Fun Lovin Criminals I’m getting ahead of myself, but Robert deserved the whole line. ![]() He pronounces perfect as ‘poifect’! Incredible. I’m crazy about this guy (a six-time Grammy winning jazz musician and more than just ‘this guy’, but let me live). 1:45 – Shane McGowanĪnd then Shane McGowan crashes in with an “It’s such fun” so devoid of fun it’s actually comical. Heather Small, Emmylou Harris and Tammy Wynette, one after the other? We don’t deserve this gift. Voice of an actual angel, queen of the mullet, my problems really are left alone in the all too fleeting moments when she is singing. Go away everybody else, Heather is here and she’s about to teach you something about selling your four seconds of recording time. Actually, he could just come out, sing “You just keeeeep me haaAAAAnnging oonnn” then leave the stage, and I’d be very satisfied. I hope he included this song in future set lists. Burning Spear just showed you how! 1:23 – Thomas Allenįeck, this guy KILLS it. 1:20 – Bono (again)īuck up Bono, for god’s sake. Here’s a lesson in making your little line your own, courtesy of Burning Spear, who just exudes joy. The dress, the hair, the voice – Lesley was not messing around, was she. They have such an important bit in terms of the song, but why are they all wrapped in the same shiny bin bag? Guys? An explanation please? 1:08 – Lesley Garrett 0:55 – Elton JohnĮlton John got a significantly longer line than everyone else (bar Lou Reed himself), which makes me wonder if he specifically requested it to be so. Poor Suzanne looks like she’d rather not. Oh here comes Bowie now with his feather earring and his tiny beard and his white suit, as if to show Bono what being cool really looks like. “Well, you could practice singing the three words ‘We go home’ to the best of your ability.” 0:45 – David Bowie “Oh wow, brilliant! What do you need me to do?” We’re recording a charity version of Perfect Day, and we want you to be on it.” ![]()
