Chris Martin's Pegg track
Sunday, 15 June 2008
Simon Pegg has written a song with Chris Martin.
The 'Hot Fuzz' actor and the Coldplay frontman penned the track, titled 'A E' together, to poke fun at 'Talk' from Coldplay's album 'X Y'.
Pegg jokingly said: "The song we wrote is called 'A E'. It was written in chords of A and E, and its all about injuries, 'If you've got a broken finger or a broken toe, if you've got a crushed thorax, there's only one place to go.' I reckon it's better than most of the stuff on their albums."
In the UK 'A E' stands for Accident and Emergency the name given to the walk-in ward at hospitals.
Comedian Pegg is no stranger to working with Coldplay.
He sung backing vocals on the track '1.36', a B-side to 'The Scientist' released in November 2002. He also once played harmonica live with the band at the V Festival in England.
Pegg is good friends with Martin, 31, and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 35. He is also godfather to their three-year-old daughter Apple.
The comedian-turned-actor has also defended Martin's public image, insisting he is mistakenly seen as a dour character.
Pegg said: "The image built up of Chris is that he is he's a misery guts - but he's actually a ball of energy and hilariously funny. He always phones me up pretending to be someone else - often someone Scottish!"
