Jagger For Boosh Movie?
Noel Fielding (one glittering half of The Mighty Boosh) revealed his cameo aspirations for their forthcoming film and Stones legend Mick Jagger comes top of the wish list.
Speaking exclusively to Xfm Noel confirmed rumours that a Boosh film was in the works, should the finances be forthcoming.
"A film's the first thing we ever wanted to do," he explained, "so we've always come up with ideas and stuck them in a drawer. Now comedy films like Shaun Of The Dead have really opened a lot of doors.
"We wanna make something pretty epic like The Wizard Of Oz; something huge and psychadelic with lots of music and animation in it. A big epic fantasy world."
And following a third Boosh series littered with cameos - from Dirty Pretty Things to The Horrors - Noel revealed that any film cameos would have to be premium:
"They'd have to be icons," he conceded. "You can't just get people who are just trendy at the moment, it looks a bit back slappy. Gary Numan's always welcome but if we could get Jagger that would be amazing. If we could get Jagger then my work would be complete, I could retire."
As for the plans of a Mighty Boosh album it seems thing are getting underway:
"Julian [Barrat, Noel's partner] has been fiddling around in the studio and he's booked in a couple of days in the next few weeks for us to go in and have a go at some stuff, redo some tracks, fuck about a bit and see what happens.
"We might do a single with someone first and just see how it goes. Mark Ronson said he was interested so maybe he could do one too...see what happens."
The Mighty Boosh Live Tour is set for later this year and Noel is also contemplating another art exhibition for early next year.
