Snoop Dogg And Charlie Sheen Are “Winning” In Their New Track

Running low on tiger blood? We’ve got good (read: bad) news — there’s now such a thing as a musical collaboration between “Turtleneck & Chain”-wearer Snoop Dogg and Twitter legend Charlie Sheen. The unlikely substance-loving duo has joined forces with Filter’s Rob Patterson (not to be confused with Twilight star Robert Pattinson, whose inclusion really would make our heads explode) for the jokey track “Winner,” also featuring a Carmen Electra cameo for maximum cheese. Check it out below.

While we’d like to dismiss this obvious cash grab/publicity stunt as just that, we can’t deny that “Winning” is at least mildly enjoyable, even if it hurts our souls to say so. You know you’re in for a treat when a track begins with the sound of a man smoking (or snorting?) “something,” and then Carmen Electra says, “Oh! Good evening, Mr. Sheen. Are you… winning?” and then Snoop Dogg replies, “No, he’s smoking right now,” and then a jungle cat roars.

Charlie Sheen – Winning” dl=”0″] If we have one complaint about the track (beyond that it exists at all), it’s that the abnormal, unusual Mr. Sheen’s contribution is more or less invisible — aside from the the fact that he provides the obvious inspiration for the tune’s title and subject matter, that is. Yes, that’s him repeating “winning,” but the voice has been altered so much that it could really be anyone. Frankly, we were hoping for incomprehensible drug-fueled ramblings. What a disappointment.

Equal parts trashy and catchy, “Winning” isn’t likely to remain on our playlist for long, but it’s good enough for a few listens, anyway.

Proceeds from the single’s sale will go to the onetime sitcom star’s “Torpedoes Against Tornadoes” charity, of course. What else would they do with the money? Certainly not blow it on partying…
