The Sound Of Music Dying

  • July 9, 2010
  • Popjustice

You know how much we love Fearne Cotton, right? We can't get enough of her unique style and inter­est­ing thoughts on popular music. And you know what big fans we are of Scouting For Girls? With their brilliant new single about how everyone wants to be famous like James Dean (except they don't but why let the truth get in the way of a cliché)? 

Well we have a treat for you here. If you listen to Radio 1 you'll have heard this quite a lot over the last few days. But if you don't listen to Radio 1, you may wish to take a seat. What you are about to hear is Scouting For Girls per­form­ing a version of 'Famous' with LYRICS ABOUT FEARNE COTTON. 

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the black hole at the centre of the arts, sucking in popular culture until there is nothing left but nothingness.
