Rugby season
Lorde, Flight of the Conchords write song for New Zealand’s Rugby World Cup side
Kimbra and Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson also on board for charity single
Some of the biggest Kiwi stars have come together this week to write a charity “fight song” for the country’s Rugby World Cup side.
Lorde, Flight Of The Conchords, Kimbra and, somehow, Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson are all on board for the song, which supports the Cure Kids charity, helping to draw attention to Batten disease.
A video has been released of the acts joking about and working on the track in the studio. It also features a unicorn, obviously, and a wonderful number of rugby lyric puns.
Watch the 15-minute clip below.
