Modest Mouse vs bank of America

Adfreak has a fantastic youtube find today. Lots has been written about the hilarious/awful/heartwrending/murderous version of One by some Bank of America employees as they swallowed another bank.  (Although Universal Music is now apparently sending out cease and desist orders to pull the video down):

Well, this has certainly made an impact on Modest Mouse as they opened up their shows at the Bowery this weekend with Johnny Marr and David Cross playing tribute.   Well worth a watch, and a reminder of the power of youtube.  (Thanks to angry citizen for capturing most of this before security moved in)

Given Bono has just launched his anti-poverty brand [RED] - I bet he's over-the-moon a bank is using one of his songs to celebrate their commercial-union.

No doubt Bono is seeing red, let alone promoting it! [Boom. Tish]

Sing it :

And we’ll make lots of money, forever I can sing
About trusting in teamwork and doing the right thing
We’ll live out our core values
While the competition crawls
