Shane McGowan Doesn't Want Your Rock N' Roller Cola Wars

shaneshaneshane.jpgA celebrity-karaoke fund-raiser in London drew some big names last night: Nick Cave sang "Bootylicious," while Chrissie Hynde performed "Born To Be Wild." But this must have been the highlight:

£30,000 was bid to hear former Pogue Shane McGowan perform what was described as "a somewhat unique interpretation" of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire."

We're not sure whether this counted as an actual performance, or whether McGowan (who's apparently now a Corey Feldman look-alike) was pushed on stage and happened to be mumbling about Harry Truman and Doris Day, as he's known to do. Either way, we're hoping somebody out there caught this, and we eagerly await the shaky YouTube clip (if you happen to spot it, by the way, please let us know at tips@idolator.com).
