Pete Doherty and Johnny Marr have teamed up to play a song by The Smiths - Marr's former band.

The Babyshambles man has posted a video of Marr - now a full-time member of The Cribs - and himself playing the song online. Click below to watch it.

In the video the pair play 'Jeane', a song The Smiths recorded with ' Troy Tate in 1983.

The song didn't appear on a Smiths album as the recording session was aborted, but later appeared as a b-side and has been much bootlegged by fans since.

Pete Doherty teamed up with The La's' Lee Mavers last month, jamming the song 'Over' with him.

what. thee. fuck. to read the article you'd think it was something slightly well structured and planned, when it's instead pete mucking about with piss poor footage on windows movie maker. not news worthy. p.s. check out Billy Bragg's version of Jeane.

Bragg's is a stonking rendition. Real feeling.
