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...
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
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 ^^
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
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.

@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
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.
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.
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.
@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!!!!
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.
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
@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!!
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!
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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.
Two-Tone Lily for the win!
