Who's excited by the prospect of Cardiff's very own Dame Shirley Bassey singing the Manic Street Preachers penned "The Girl From Tiger Bay"? Yes, believe it people; the 72 year old cabaret singer and Bond theme girl is aiming for contemporary street "cred" with the kids by performing a song written especially for her by Mr Wire and cohorts.
Now I've got a lot of respect for the Manic Street Preachers, but the last time they wrote a song for someone desperate for indie appeal (or anyone's for that matter), it was the diminutive Australian diva Kylie Minogue. "Some Kind Of Bliss" from 1997 was so bad it virtually de-railed her career completely until she found those golden Hot pants, got the cameraman to focus in on her from behind and began spinning around.
What's Shirley gonna do if this one's a pile of poop? She's 72 remember.
