Hot Chip have penned a song about Susan Boyle, bandmember Joe Goddard has revealed. He said that 'Keep Quiet', which is taken from the band's upcoming new album 'One Life Stand,' was written after he watched Boyle sing 'I Dreamed A Dream' on Britain's Got Talent.
'I'd never seen it before and I found it quite incredible," Goddard told Billboard about the song. "Just listening to that made me want to write a song.'
