[Listen] Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Covers Willie Nelson's "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" For Chipotle

We love the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. We especially love Karen O and can't wait to see her recently debut "psycho-opera,"Stop the Virgens within the next week during CMJ as it runs through October 22nd. But that's not the only thing Ms. O. has been up to.

Karen recently covered Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings' 1978 country hit "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" in collaboration with Chipotle as the soundtrack to their short film titled "Abandoned." As Fast Company explains, the four-minute video publicizes the quick-serve Mexican chain's Cultivate Foundation, a nonprofit "dedicated to creating a sustainable, healthful, and equitable food future." Check out the touching video above and also checkout more details on Chipotle's Boorito campaign, in which you wear a costume on Halloween night, and get $2 burritos, with proceeds benefiting the Cultivate Foundation and Farm Aid. Sweet right?
