Jarvis Cocker – Jarvis4Xmas
There’s a campaign going on to get sharply acerbic Jarvis Cocker’s socio-politically raw and relevant – and unfortunately, evergreen, single “(C*nts Are Still) Ruling The World” to #1 in the UK on Christmas Day.
The lyrically direct and searing song originally appeared as a bonus track on the Pulp frontman’s first solo album in 2006.
A fun little Facebook group, started by a couple of left-minded music fans has, this week, become the focus of national and international attention.
Rising from nothing to 20,000+ members in its 4 days of existence, the Facebook group Fancy Getting “C*ts Are Still Running The World” to UK Xmas No. 1? has now received the endorsement of Mr Cocker’s label Rough Trade Records AND the man himself – and he’s decided that proceeds from single sales this week will benefit SHELTER, the homeless charity.
Please help and spread the word and get “Running The World” to #1 while helping the homeless this week.
