OK Go Cover Morrissey To Slam Trump

OK Go have recorded a cover of Morrissey’s ‘Interesting Drug’ as a blatant slap to ‘the second most voted for person’ at the recent US election, Trump.

“There are some bad people on the rise,” go the Morrissey words with OK Go placing images of the former reality star cum politician around key lines of the song.

Lead singer Damian Kulash said of the song: “I was listening to Morrissey around the time of the conventions last year and when he belted ‘There are some bad people on the rise’ – that fabulous opening line of Interesting Drug – I felt like he’d written it about the very moment we were living through. Now, with this bewildering, surreal inauguration looming, it seems like a good time to share those poignant lines again.”

“We recorded a cover of Morrissey’s ‘Interesting Drug’ — it seems like the right soundtrack for this moment. No matter how anxious or angry you are, try to turn your passion into something good for the world. We’re in this together,” OK Go said in a statement.

OK Go will perform the song on The Late Late Show With James Corden tonight, January 18.
