The countdown to the release of Nicholas Stoller’s “Get Him To The Greek” has kicked off with the release of a new single by faux-band Infant Sorrow, led by Russell Brand’s Aldous Snow.
“Bangers, Beans & Mash,” as it’s called, is one of few songs written by Brand’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” co-star Jason Segel and was recently described by British actor-comedian as a personal favorite whilst explaining the song’s interesting and most likely misinformed genesis.
“‘Bangers, Beans and Mash’ written by Jason Segel ,” Brand revealed to Collider. “The title of the song is neither a euphemism for sex nor an English dish, both of which Jason is unaware of I imagine because otherwise why would have written it? You don’t eat bangers, beans and mash. You don’t want to ketchup getting in the mash. You want gravy with mash and bangers. Also a working class euphemism for tits is bangers as well so these things play in my mind.”
“Get Him To The Greek” follows an music industry intern as he attempts to babysit a drug-and-alcohol friendly musician from London to Los Angeles’ Greek Theater in three days for a landmark performance. The film hits theaters June 4th.
