Coldplay’s New Album: “McDonald’s: Over 4 Billion Served”

Chris Martin goes tongue-in-cheek in this quickie interview in the Intelligencer: “We study the most popular products and we try to sing about it as much as possible. That’s why the next album is called McDonald’s: Over 4 Billion Served.’ Reminded of the chain’s recent offer to pay rappers to name-check burgers in their songs, Martin composes one on the spot: ‘I’ve tried heroin, and I’ve tried crack, but nothing gets me high like a big Big Mac.’ You think it’ll work? I just earned $50.”

    I hate him. He tries to desperately to be like Thom Yorke, it’s pathetic really.

    let’s be honest for a second. chris martin wouldn’t know what a sense of humor was if it shat in his mouth.

    Obviously you’ve never heard a Chirs Martin interview then, because he is quite humorous. Thom Yorke on the other hand hasn’t said anything funny since 1995.

    Thom yorke needn’t be funny, It’s about the music, I for one, am very fond of his work and find that every cheap copy or ‘wannabe’as they are called nowadays, are a threat to the human race and should be exterminated…

    Ever seen the Jonathan Ross interview with Thom and Jonny? A lot funnier than mr Martin.
