The Good, the Bad & the Queen is the album by an unnamed British alternative rock supergroup, made up of
Damon Albarn,
Paul Simonon,
Simon Tong and
Tony Allen, and also expertly-produced by
Danger Mouse.
When the album was previewed by
Uncut in November 2006, the magazine called the title song "
a surreal knees-up round a knackered old joanna that celebrates how the same sun cheers both Queen and crackheads - before building up to a psychotic guitar wig-out." Damon Albarn himself told
NME in January 2007 that the song "
had to be last" referring to the position in the album because "
where do you go after that noisy bit at the end?"
The Good, the Bad & the Queen, by one unnamed collaborative band, consisting of Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Simon Tong and Tony Allen.
While I'd rather you listen to the track itself first (
without peeking at the linked YouTube video above), this indepedently-produced "Sufi Video", directed by Stephen Pook, made such an impact (at least with the band members themselves) that they listed it as their "unofficially" official music video for the track (as they, themselves, had nothing to do with it, other than having their music featured as the template) on their
Myspace Blog.
