As opposed to many others, we’ve not seen her do wrong.  Karen O (of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs) continues to solder the heart in her songs.  Sure, we like the band immensely, but Karen is the heart and soul thereof.  Check out this new video which is a part of a worthy campaign championed by Chipotle.  Many will argue, “It’s Chipotle, dude, come on!”  To that we can only say:  you may want to be scanned for a soul.  Give ’em credit for putting up serious money and effort for a great cause during these times.

Check out Karen O’s stirring cover of Willie and Waylon’s Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. Willie Nelson has spearheaded the Farm Aid campaign, so her cover is particularly apropos given Chipotle’s fundraising for sustainable-agriculture farmers.  Not to mention she manages somehow to twist the song from jaunty to haunting.

Karen O.  She gets it………..just right.
