Mike Skinner Writes Impromptu Swine Flu Song

added 07 May 2009 at 10.42

The Streets man responds to health scare with a new tune...

The latest internet-only track from Mike Skinner has a topical theme. The Streets man has been posting new tracks via his Twitter account, although the latest bit of tuneage has appeared on YouTube. Called 'He's Behind You, He's Got Swine Flu', his rant against the current influenza hysteria plays over scenes of classic horror films.

Xfm's Jon Hillcock gave the track it's first play on X-Posure earlier this week.. after Mike himself sent him a copy. Take a look at the video below (you have to be over 18, though, so make sure you're signed in).
