Depp, Manson teaming up for Simon's classic

London: Superstar Johnny Depp has teamed up with his rocker pal Marilyn Manson to record a cover version of Cakly Simon's classic You are so vain.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star offered his services for the collaboration, playing drums and lead guitar while Manson provided vocals for the tune.

The song will appear as a bonus track on Manson's upcoming album Born Villain, Daily Star reported.

"We wanted to do a cover of a song which we thought was ironic for each other... He played drums and lead guitar, and I played guitar and sang. It's a bonus track on my new record and the video will probably be us looking at each other in a mirror," Manson said.

It's not the first time the 48-year-old actor's rock credentials have gone down on record. He has also contributed guitar tracks to Oasis' 1997 album Be Here Now.
