LILY ALLEN - "Mr. Blue Sky" Cover

As promised, a little "Mr. Blue Sky" for the weekend. And I mean very little, a morsel really: it's the single recorded by the loverly Miss Lily Allen last year for a French cell phone company.

I happen to love "Mr. Blue Sky" more than life itself, and am always gratified when he pops up in, say, a Guinness beer ad (narrated by Donald Sutherland, randomly enough), or maybe a trailer for the best movie of 2004 (an Oscar-winner for Original Screenplay, and for once they meant original), and/or the greatest Volkswagen spot ever (the ad which reminded me of "Mr. Blue Sky" about 6 or 7 years ago, and he's been a friend ever since).

Now, I do find Miss Lily's production is a bit tarted up -- that is, even more than Jeff Lynne and ELO would have done -- but that's to be expected from a tarty contempo pop singer, so I can dig it. Lil definitely nails the harmonies, as she does on her brand-new album, which I also like quite a bit. The girl is smart and sassy, naughty and nasty, and let's face it, damned adorable.

Aw, Lil...you so bad. Bless ya, luv!

You people are mental. She's unattractive, and she can't sing at all. And the nipple slip doesn't make up for any of it.

I quote Lily:

"Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch"
