Manson records duet with namesake
Kind of old news, but as I haven’t published it yet here it is:
Shock rocker MARILYN MANSON has recorded a duet with GARBAGE frontwoman SHIRLEY MANSON – but neither of them wanted to include it on their respective albums.
The eccentric couple met at a YEAH YEAH YEAHS concert and their mutual chemistry was obvious immediately – so they agreed to join forces to cover HUMAN LEAGUE’s ’80s classic DON’T YOU WANT ME BABY.
Shirley says, “It’s really cool but neither of us felt comfortable enough putting it on our records, so I don’t know if it will ever come out. I hope it does.
“Our voices sound fantastic in a very BEAUTY AND THE BEAST kind of way.”
