  • Two-Tone Lily for the win!

  • It isn't that bad. You've just got to put Terry Hall to sing, instead of Lilly and it will sound better.

  • la intencion es buena, pero los maquillajes de estudio no pegan mucho con esto xDD

  • musica com um estilo mei regaae

  • love lily, lov this lov lily lov this fab x

  • Well done Lily! lovin this version!

  • we all know the original is better...lily knows the original is better...me missus knows the original is better...even the specials couldn't top that first album...never could,never will...but... if this points a load of people towards the specials then fair play to the girl...

  • No. Just no.

  • She did a great version of Straight to Hell, but this in necrophelia.

  • I grew up with the Specials. But, I actually like this.

  • will ye all ever shut up! For fuck sake! She's covered a song so fucking what?! since when s it a bad thing to sing a song you like??! She has her rights so ye all just leave her.. if ye aint got nothing nice to say dont say it! She sings this with the specials as well the first time they played it in years was with her it cant be that bad if they did it with her

  • @jimjimtrains it's a relly sloppy cover but i agree with you on everything else. people are sad

  • @marko1978st hmm ya i think she was more singing it cos she liked the song

  • @marko1978st it sounds better live :/

  • NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

  • very good version... i heard it when i was 17 and it reminds lots of good things...oh heavens i want be 17 again!!!

  • @joaquin16276 you heard it last month?

  • @marko1978st hehehehe no man, no exactly last month.

  • Stop hating and let be.

  • i got it from ASDA

  • i atually think its good, so fuck off annoying twats.

  • im very very sorry practically everyone else, but no matter how bad a cover is it's fucking okay to make it I think... and well I love this actually ^^

  • s-h-i-t

  • Im buying the first plane ticket to the uk and im gonna backhand and then cockslap this hoe

  • I like it... so cute.;;; too short though

  • An exercise in total pointlessness, awful, horrible, soulless, media darling crap

  • The Specials had the street edge, mates! This actually sounds like abunch of bored comfortable session players copying a song off between lattes. Passable but no edge, no edge!

  • this is actually not the original cover she did... this was edited i have her cover on my ipod and its just more... drum/bass/soul-ish than this and the tempo is actually faster with a different beat

  • watch my cover of telephone!

  • am afraid the original is better

  • dedicate a otra cosa!!!!

  • A mediocre version of an excellent song by the Specials. I guess I can take heart in teh fact that "the youth of today" are being exposed to some classic tunes.

  • lily allen is amazing. don't write negative comments just because you're jealous. nobody likes anybody that can only find the negative things in life. go tear down a wall and love lily allen.

  • @bronwynbaybay Silly thing to say!

  • @1964chrissie wow hah that's embarrassing..i don't remember writing that...

  • @bronwynbaybay What have you been smoking? the carpet?

  • @1964chrissie hahhahah that's so weird cause i actually don't do any drugs or anything (obviously i'm a littttle kid) but i really don't remember writing that. wow i must've been upset or something cause i sound like an idiot in that comment hahahahah

  • @bronwynbaybay If you're a littttle kid, go to bed and stop annoying us old farts, I blame the parents!!!!

  • @1964chrissie what? i'm 15, that was kind of a joke but it wasn't really that funny. and it's 9 o'clock where i am..time for sleepy time!

  • @bronwynbaybay It's 3:00 AM Here!

  • Closed minded musical snobs....I like the original, and I like this. If you are nodding your head or tapping your toe, she's done her job...leave the negativity alone.

  • I love this version......

  • Not sure how this is a "slaughtered" version of this song. I LOVE the Specials and I think this is a perfectly good rendition of Blank Expression (a song which, in my eye, was the weakest on the Specials LP to begin with). You all should saunter on over to the Amy Winehouse version of You're Wondering Now to hear a crap cover.

  • @thultner the weakest r u fucking kidding me blank expression is the best fucking song on the lp

  • @monzione In your opinion. It just didn't rub me the right way. I didn't say I didn't like the song and it's fine if that's your favorite song.

  • this is crap, specials always!

  • horrible. jerry dammers should sue

  • I gave it a shot but it just suck!!!!! She didn't even try to make this song her own.

  • Ugh.....Terrible

  • Aw man I really wanted to like this =(

  • another specials track fkin mullered... leavvvvvveeeeeee biatch........

  • what a fxxkin insult to a legend 

  • I'm surprised at all the negative reviews... I loved the The Specials LP back in 1980, this sounds alright to me. *shrugs*

  • she fucked up the song she made bollocks of it

  • i love the specials and i love lily

    and i love this song

  • Cannot be arsed with this shit. She must have seen how well mike skinner did by talking over records and thought she'd do the same. At least we still have the original version to be amazed by.

  • I Want To Cry. This Is One Of The Best Specials Songs To Me And She Has SLAUGHTERED It.

  • @iamemoluv I couldnt agree more, sickenin isnt it? I dont even know how I came across this but I wont be comin back, what the fuck did she think people who say about this?? LEAVE THE SPECIALS RECORDS ALONE YOU SILLY BITCH!!!!

  • is this bullshit really neccesary lilly stay away from ska and punk please

  • >.< coulda been worse.

    her accent is hella stupid tho

    needless to say, the specials version is far, far, far, far superior

  • Lil sugar girl, I salute you!

  • Sadly I have to say I prefer the Specials...

  • she is fucking beautifull

    and alse she need to get fuck, RIGHT NOW

  • I love this, I love Lily :)

  • Amy Winehouse covering a Specials track, OK, I'll except that, but LILLY ALLEN!!!!

    I wish she would just piss off. Untalented, can't sing & trades off her bloody dad's name Keith Allen!!

    Spoilt little upper middle class white girl who probably cried & cried for hours until Mummy & Daddy bought her that pony she wanted.

    The only Pony IU can see is her music!

    Same goes for that arse La Roux!!!

    Stick to Horse riding girls.........

  • I actually do like Lily Allen.

    And even when you don't compare it to the original, I still don't like it very much.

    Sorry Lily..

    But I love the Specials jeje.

  • Lily is ok but this recording just shows how good the original was.

  • I like it! Fair play girl!

  • i like lilly allen, but ffs im a big ska for ffs, leave it out girl

  • maybe shell bring it back ,prob somthing to do with kieth allen

  • its all a load of bollocks!!!! people like lily allen and that neglected horse faced skag taking bitch amy winehouse butchering classic songs like this to make themselves look cool they weren't even born when these songs were released.

  • well, im a fan, but i don't like this version

  • @KusinerneAF i saw ur profile and its practically all lily allen so stop trying to sound like u dnt even kno her.

  • I think it's sound good, why is the song killed? You can still hear the original, right? :o

    (please don't say something bad about me now, it's just my opinion) :)

  • horrible

  • Ugh... why?!! should of just left the song alone.

  • How to kill a song in one step?

    Get Lily Allen to perform it.

    Seriously, congratulations on ruining this song for me.

  • cant take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why?!?! I love the fact that Lily is a 2tone rude girl at heart, but... but... *facepalm... it's just so bad.

  • @jmeckle1

    Lilly a 2Tone girl at heart??? Leave it out mate. ILMAO.

    She was cashing in on the "Upper Middle/Upper Class White Brit Girl trying to look cool working class" like all the others.

    Like that fake ass bitch who tried to sing & be a "Cockney" but just ends up being a COCK. I REALLY HATE these kinds of spoilt little rich girls....

  • i must say at least she can appreciate good music

  • i wish she would stop ruining The Specials songs, i really do.

  • trueeee i was so pumped to hear a good specials cover and then i hear this shitttt

  • shut up you fuckin asshole!!! Lily Allen is AWESOME! and her dad is a stupid idiot who desapointed her...google it! STUPID lily allen's great\!

  • who gives a shit about that this sucksss

  • everybody idiot!

  • yea, lilly, I've heard one live, and now this one of remakes of the Specials you have done, and you have murdered both of them, it doesn't fit your style at all.

  • its only music bacon butty u weirdo.....let me guess u a die hard specials fan....the specials did more covers than uve had bacon buttys...and not all of them wer good so FUCK YOU BACON FASSYOLE lol

  • Anything you said is void as you used "fassyole" in a sentence, someone should end your bloodline.

  • FUCK YOU LILY ALLEN

  • she seems to have missed the whole, deadpan flat singing motif of the original...

  • Fuckin hell" this has got to be the most shite redo i have ever heard.Lily I know you love The Specials but leave it out mate!!!

  • I love this version there are loads of songs out there lily could have covered and she chose The Specials so she can't be all bad ?

  • That is sooooooo fuckin Siiiiicccckkkkk WTF is she doing. The Specials fuckin rock she made shit of it. Id still do er tho =D

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! this version is BOLLOCKS! straight bollocks!!

  • @skawesome tell me a bout it the specials on is the best one

  • @skawesome Hear hear!! What a pile of shit! How dare she totaly fuck this song up like this? She should stick to her own stuff and definately not fuck around with Specials songs, she should have more sense!!

  • @skawesome .. Give the Kid a break .. The fact she's covering these songs shows she's got Taste ? ..

  • Nooooooooo! Murdering songs with her crappy Kate Nash talking , not even singing...only famous coz of Daddy!

  • i dont get why people say that, her dad is hardly brad pitt

  • No, Brad Pitt he aint! But in Alex James book, he says that they [blur] used to hang about with Keith Allen and Damien Hurst and that Keith has been trying to get Lily famous since she was 12 years old!....Well now she singing about damp patches and BJ,s ...so i guess Daddy is proud!

  • she's murdered that tune..but id definately still give her one !!

  • that bitch cant leave anything alone

  • I totally respect that Lily loves The Specials... but c'mon to fuck..I wish her and winehouse would just leave their songs alone!!!!!! Jesus..... hurt my fucking ears!!!

  • this is shit

  • WTF !! this is shit ..... no 1 can compare to the original version

  • AAAAAHHHHHHH WTF is she doing???? She's good at what she does,but leave the classics alone!!!!

  • @marklp1 lily after pop she did some like ska

  • esta vieja es una peresa es puro comercio!!

  • Look, anything that gets anyone to stumble onto The Specials' original version of this, or anything else they've done, is a good thing. This isn't bad, but the Specials are one impossible group to nail because of Terry Hall's vocals, that fit the music of the Specials dead on. No one else's voice does or will.

  • She does way to much coverz i lyk her but she needs to get her own songz

  • How many covers has she done you bloody idiot?! Learn how to write properly while you think about it.

  • Wtf Shez Done Alot

    N I dont hav A problem wiff it i Juss wanna Hear More Of Her Own Songz

  • well, i bloody like it ...

  • this is just terrible, seriously lacking any sort of effort,creativity, skill, talent, professionalism... ect. agreeing with the karaoke comment earlie,

    Obviously she liked the song so why did she go & do such a bad version?!?

  • Exactly!!! Well put!! Think i'll do my own Karaoke version...do u think Terry Hall will sing with me...Don't think so.....She's connected in the music world..somebody pulled some strings somewhere...maybe her Dad...or her connections with the late Joe Strummer hence the cover of straight to hell with Mick Jones

  • boy do I need to take a serious dump after listening to this version

  • If you want to do a cover, change the style. She might as well do a karaoke. This is a disgace.

  • You all expect identical copies of your fav songs.

  • Jeez, what's everyone so upset about? She didn't destroy your copy of the original. It's very different from the Specials' version, but I think that's a good thing: She reinterpreted it.

  • Check out the faster version,it's better!

    i love lily, but this is slooooooow man!

  • shit

  • as much as i love lily, ive been a massive fan of the specials since i was literally tiny. shes a lively lady full of talent, but this, admittedly, isnt her best.

  • the fucking slag tore this is off the specials so unprofessionaly i started crying when i listened to this

  • raelly great

  • Shit i'd buy a ford car b4 this.......... The Specials RULE!!!! NB11

  • she killed it

  • This Sucks !

    Stupid slag i hate her !

  • maaaaaaan. This is so just...dead. PLEASE check out the Specials original, which still has some kind of punch and verve about it.

  • innit

  • Definatly!!

  • i like the beat of it

  • Oh ok thanx, i didn't know that lol.

  • its a cover of an old 'Specials' song.

  • you can get it off limewire guys though its called (sun is falling all around)

  • sounds good! lily rocks reggae music

  • I got it from a website but i can't remember which one sorry!
