Label: To Wear Sunscreen

'Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth... Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults...Keep your old love letters, throw away your bank statements...But trust me on the sunscreen.'  Prophetic words that will strike emotional chords all over the globe or the mumblings of an incoherent idiot?  You decide.   Whatever - public pressure has meant that Baz Luhrmann's 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)' is to be released as a single and will undoubtedly be a huge hit.  If you haven't heard it (heavens above) it features poetry spoken over a dreamy hip hop beat.  The words are spoken by Lee Perry - and no, it's not the same Lee Perry who makes psychedelic dub music.
