Video: Cat Power Covers Cat Stevens, Hawks Bling

Cat Power covers Cat Stevens on the soundtrack to this commercial, which, unfortunately is not for Meow Mix. It's a Christmas "A Diamond Is Forever" ad, and it features Chan's version of Mr. Islam's "How Can I Tell You".

Like her cover of the Nerves' "Hanging on the Telephone" (also covered by Blondie), which was featured in a Cingular commercial directed by Spike Jonze/Sofia Coppola cinematographer Lance Acord, the song will not be released on its own. So you're just going to have to watch this YouTube clip over and over again.

Cat Power continues to tour, with November dates in Seattle and Vancouver and a handful of December shows in Europe as well.

11-28 Seattle, WA - Showbox
11-29 Vancouver, British Columbia - Commodore
