Victor Murgatroyd and Chris Johnson, longtime friends and music industry insiders, formed an alternative pop duo, Zen Mafia, based in Los Angeles, and asked Ian Astbury to sing in this song and that's the result ^_^

  • severe deafness is the answer to your comment

  • Ian comes in with that car, that voice and that look and all of the sudden the song has power! Does anyone know when this was filmed/recorded?

  • @codge2112 I remember this on MTV2 during the summer of 1999... I remember the Cult singer cruising that badass Mustang fastback...LOL!!! Cool, just took a trip back in time, thanks!

  • This is a great song, the video's not so good but the song is the soul of this. We need more songs like this

  • I agree this song sound s flat until Ian Astbury powers in, and the whole song changes dynamics. He gives it pure soul, rock n roll...the guy is unique!!!

  • So the guy from (the 80s Beastie Boys wannabes) Big Mouth is still trying to be a rapper, eh? Interesting.

  • Ian (a wonderful singer. Owns a beautiful voice) great talent that enchants the soul...

  • Sounds like a bad amateur job until Ian's voice kicks in. Which one of these doesn't belong, children??

  • thats all?

  • Astbury ROCKS and this is where the song kicks ass!!!

  • @loopstheloop have you ever said anything remotely original? I wonder which DOGSHIT POLYTECHNIC you didn't graduate from

  • Great- another rip-off of Skynyrd's classic- that's EXACTLY what the world desperately needed. Theeeanks.
