pretenders with shirley

[WildChild80Style]

OMG!! Chrissy is a God and Shirley her prodigy. This is great.

[FJCruisin120]

Wow!! This is a fantastic performance! I would have loved to see them sing "Special" :)

[mrjdgibbs]

Shirley was visibly intimidated. Really cute. They're both so awesome.

[nsaminder]

Fuking Awesome. Two of my favorites.

[k7seven]

Claro que si, mamacita

[butterandcheese92]

The Garbage song "Special" ends with the repeated lyrics "...talk of the town". Must be a sample or tribute or something. Also, I might add, here Shirley looks almost exactly like she did in the She Wants Revenge video.

[berettadreams]

The story goes, Mason faxed over a message to Hynde saying "May I have permission to sample 'Talk of the town' in one of my songs and Hynde's response was. "You have the right to sample any song of mine and my very ass if need be"

[butterandcheese92]

Oh! Thanks for explaining. I love them both - and where'd you hear that? Was it in an interview?

[berettadreams]

I remember Shirley talking about it some time ago. Hynde also talked about it

[horrorhearter]

@butterandcheese92 OMG!!! She does.... the whole sleek bun, black eye makeup, red lipstick and black outfit thing!

[Rarilmar]

Finally a good thing came up in the "Recommended for You" tab :D

[FoulOwl]

[667amtrrckr]

[brendawalsh9021o]

jared and nathan from kings of leon at 4:37

a bunch of great people in that room...

[DEFkon001]

You can easily tell this is one of those childhood dreams come true for Shirley Manson.

[rockchic35]

The song is "Talk of the Town". Great version with both great women!!! Haven't heard this song in awhile. Great to here.

[dellorefice]

what's the song?

[bunnyheather76]

I always thought she sounded like Chrissie!!!

[Icepacalapse]

Damn!!! a virtual cornucopia of heavy duty rocking chicks!! Whether the singers themselves or the people they made reference to.

[fallenkitten666]

what did chrissie say at 8:24?

[funkymusicluvr]

it looksa like she mouthed 'im only happy when it rains'

[saramcc1]

What a great collaboration - The Pretenders and Shirley Manson. It really worked and you can see how genuinly thrilled Shirley is to sing with someone who has obviously been an inspiration to her musically

[MadCherry]

shirley looks like "i cant believe this" at 7:09. And i wish i could know what chrissie says at shirley at 8:24. so cool

[Schneebuddy]

At the end of the song I believe Chrissie was wondering if she should repeat one more time, thats what it looked like to me.

[MadCherry]

im totally speechless sooo amazing!

[BestLooserEver]

I'm only happy when it rains..OMG it's fantastic...!

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

I LUV Shirley Manson & the pretenders 3 STARZ!

[ZHardKoreGroovyJulz]

Hell Yeah Man She'z wonderful,I Luv them both 3 starz!

[firenza74]

Never realised Shirley Manson was such a good singer.

[cdxl]

I've got the entire show on VHS tape. At the end, they all jam on "Middle Of The Road". Shirley has a part towards the end of the song.

[rca88]

At 4:35 in this clip, Shirley says "CCC" (spelling?), Patti Smith and Chrissie were the female singers she really fell in love with. Who is "CCC"?

Both songs were originally recorded with doubletrack/answering vocals, so Chrissie and Shirley can do those parts live. Cool.

[losttango]

She says "Siouxsie Sioux".

[ppixilation]

rca88 - that'll be Souxie of the Banshees...........

[rca88]

Ah, thanks, that fits. (Thanks also to lasttango who had the same answer a few months ago.)

[berettadreams]

It was Great to be there; what you don't see is that they Performed "Kid" Together as well; that was great.

[grbgrockme]

amazing..... from wot year is this?

[ferpegaso]

vaya mamacita

[rp61wasinnocentok]

Long live all "warriors" of music.

[topspinblue]

[pumucklinka]
