ummmm the grit of the original deliveres the message in a proper way. Her baby voice take on it trivializes the song. I dont care if her intention is to give messages in pop format. That would be like saying doing Shakespear in regular common every day english is more powerful than the original words spoken verbatim.. Bullshit. No way. This version makes me think of absolutely nothing. Total fail. And good god....that baby talking type of singing is just shit.
You know, Mick Jones is singing background on this song and Joe Strummer was Lily Allen's godfather, so it's safe to say the Clash approve of this song.
OK i love lily Allen but is it me or do all of her songs making front of boys like she makes herself look like a lesbian but when you go on goggle and ask if she is she says she hates lesbians i find that kindov weird but i still love her
I love Lily Allen's voice, and I like how she sings it, but I can't get into the background music; when it breaks, and when she first starts singing, it reminds me so much of Back Dat Azz Up by Juvenile.
It's covers like this and the vast majority of modern day mainstream crap that poisons our sound waves, that take away all my hope for humankind's future.
The upbeat tune, the lack of change and personality in her voice that made the original amazing. The songs is about people who's live are already over, who feel worthless, but Allen has turned it into a pointless pretentious pop tune with a pleasant tone.
@watcher1733 she does that with all songs its an ironic twist all her songs are upbeat and sound really cheerful but she has a dark side to it thats what she's doing here.... RIP Joe Strummer
@watcher1733 I get your point, but she's said that she makes songs with catchy pop sounds to "disguise the deeper message and make it easier for people to swallow". If you listen to her music, the lyrics are very disillusioned with pop culture and I think she writes her songs with a certain knowingness, she's kind of mocking "pointless pop songs" by juxtaposing the lyrics and music.
@supermassivefrog Are you fucking kidding me? It completely misses the point of the original, The Clash regard it as their best work ever, and let me tell you, The Clash's worst song is still better then anything Lilly Allen has ever done.
@supermassivefrog NO its not a a competition.... I get its yur opinion and everything but just no.... its not a case of who wins and does a better cover there is no competition I think lily allen is great andshe made her own but I wouldn't say that you cant really say that as.... Lily allen would never ever be ale to write a song like that...
@jimjimtrains@watcher1733 I apologize to you and others if i offend you. Anyways, I just wanted to say that this cover sounds better then the original to ME. I love Clash and their music too, but lilly also have few brilliant songs. Everyone have thier own taste for music. :)
@supermassivefrog your english is good do not worry :) I get its your opiniion but it will always be the clash cos I love Joes vocals and the drums :) and the feeling... I like her cover an I love her songs and sarcasm and everything but nothing beats the original :P..... micks jones backing really makes this song :P
I like this version better. I think all this hate is because this version is so different from the original. I suppose if I had heard the original before this version, and loved it, I would be unreasonably offended as well. But I think Lily has done a great job of personalizing the song. Its her style to make disturbing lyrics sound so jovial and generally pleasant, particularly in the song LDN
@benjaminthomasmoore its about vietnam... the children that were concieved by the american soldiers with vietnamise women, that were left behind.. "left me tell you about your blood bamboo kid it aint coca cola its rice.."
The girl you just called fat?.. She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly?... She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped?... He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars?.. He fought for his country. That guy you just made fun of for crying?...His mother is dying. Put this on one other video if you're against bullying. I bet 95% of you wont re-post, but I'm sure the people with heart will.
Why people so easily pick on others and their artistic rendition of someone else's masterpiece. Art is subjective. I absolutely love the Clash.. sometimes I hear covers that I don't like, this is a cool version that she made her own and I liked reading that Joe Strummer was friends with her father because it adds sentiment to why she is performing this tune. A great tribute to a phenomenal man. It also opens a new generation to The Clash which is a positive in my mind. :) Cheers!
Yeah, WTF at this pop shit. It might appeal to a greater audience than the original and actually effectively spread the core message. We don't want that! Keep these ideas contained so that we can avoid any improvement to society which could be brought by more people being provoked into thinking through this music!
@kidscotch39 Yes, it is! Glee christmas music. She pussified this song beyond all pussification. At least with The Clash, there was an edge to it, it was still funky. This shit is great for the dentist office.
@kidscotch39 look, i love the clash more than any other band. but they were all about experimenting with new sounds. i.e, White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Mag 7, Straight to Hell. So maybe don't be so judgmental and give some covers a chance. it's a new, interesting take on the song, something you don't realize
@kidscotch39 Agreed. Lily's made millions of pounds and the music all the lame. I mean same now. She had a nice run for a little while. This is horrible.
To clear up a few points below, Lily Allen sang the song as a tribute to the late Joe Strummer (lead singer of The Clash). He was a big friend of her father, and even colaberated on a few tracks with him. She is quoted saying Joe was around her family when she was young and loved his music. And the song is about the Vietnam war babies of American GI's.
the fact that it features Mick Jones at all is a +, instead of having just her voice featured. Can't get enough of The Clash. Go Straight to Hell, boys.
PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS. YOU WILL KISSED BY THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.NOW YOUVE STARTED READING THIS. DO NOT STOP THIS IS SO FREAKY.

This really doesn’t remind me of Paper Planes at all until now and I am already at minute 2:03! Reached minute 3:11 and still nothing. Is it because it’s a cover and not actually Straight to Hell so the background is different? Really, just the clapping is somewhat familiar. Minute 4:00! OMG, is that really Lily?! Yeah, it’s because of the background. Just checked the original and I can hear it all.
@KairiAngel000 that's because this song is a cover of The Clash's song- Straight To Hell, and MIA's song Paper Planes uses a sample of that song as its beat.
@KairiAngel000 That because this a cover from The Clash - Straight to hell (watch?v=bkyCrx4DyMk), which M.I.A. samples in her song Paper Planes. So no wonder.
@KairiAngel000 lol I just saw you got a barage of comments on that one one question. Guess we got that answered huh! :) Anyway, i'm not trying to be an ass, english just ain't my first language. So just ignore that other asshole, and check out some The Clash, if you like. Great punk.
@siemvandenberg Hahahah It's okay I wasn't mad at you or anything, just some random guy called me a bitch and then I got a bit bitchy for real :P Sorry for being rude ;)
@KairiAngel000 WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD ON. How did I get to this video again? Oh right... I browse over videos over YouTube and this is what I always see. People all fighting over the most retarded thing you can possibly think of. You all need to cool your fool, especialy you sir. Nobody was being rude about anything, so there's no need to get all in a fluff... You asked a question, about 5-6 people answered, and you all move on... unless you are here to start something, just drop it =) or else...
@CommandoNikomer not 5-6, about 20 people actually, and im a girl, if it wasnt obvious from the name, and who are you again? Im pretty sure no one was talking to you, so keep out of it :) also, is that supposed to be a threat? or else? or else what, sir? thats what i thought
@KairiAngel000 That isn't the way a nice young girl should reply to a nice comment such as the one I posted. I think your reaction to all of this is way overthought... Again, for your own sake, I would just drop it. I've been in the same situation as you have, and believe me, it isn't fun when you poke around. More people will reply to you with comments such as the one I posted or even worse by other people. And this is the Internet, I can reply to whoever I want to.
@KairiAngel000 Thats because they took the intro from the song Straight to Hell by The Clash, shes actually covering the song from the Clash but M.I.A. just used the beat. Lily Allen is actually the goddaughter of Joe Strummer, the guitarist from the Clash....
@KairiAngel000 thats because Mia took the beat from Straight to hell by the clash which she is covering and not a bad cover at that better than social distortions cover of death or glory
@KairiAngel000 thats because MIA took her beat from The Clash's "Straight To Hell", and this song you're hearing right now is Lily Allen's revival of it. Chyeah. know you're music guys. :)
@megafaded69 hahaha no i wasn't joking.... i was just wondering if it was just me or if someone else thought so to, and i had never heard of the orignial untill recently, so yeah :P
@KairiAngel000 Theres no need to be negative or disrespectful at all. What I asked you was a simple question. Im not sure what kind of comments you got before and no I will not read them as I do not have the time to do that, but all I asked was a question because I disagree with this sounding like "Paper planes", but all is love. I wish you nothing but the best.
@angeleyes86ebby I wasn't being rude or disrespectful, just annoyed at the fact that half the comments here say "The orignal song was by clash, Mia sampled the song in paper planes" so you can disagree all you want, but a part of this song was actually used in paper planes :P
yeah guise, the reality is of this matter is that this person would like to have a brittish accent, dont you dare think for a second thats not the reality of things, cause it is.
@zanakanishi What's the reality of things here? 'Don't you dare think for a second that's not the reality of things, because it is'....Are you trying to say that I want a British accent? 'Cause I do. I pretty much stated that I wanted her sexy accent.....

@KairiAngel000 lol I just saw you got a barage of comments on that one one question. Guess we got that answered huh! :) Anyway, i'm not trying to be an ass, english just ain't my first language. So just ignore that other asshole, and check out some The Clash, if you like. Great punk.

@KairiAngel000 WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD ON. How did I get to this video again? Oh right... I browse over videos over YouTube and this is what I always see. People all fighting over the most retarded thing you can possibly think of. You all need to cool your fool, especialy you sir. Nobody was being rude about anything, so there's no need to get all in a fluff... You asked a question, about 5-6 people answered, and you all move on... unless you are here to start something, just drop it =) or else...

@CommandoNikomer not 5-6, about 20 people actually, and im a girl, if it wasnt obvious from the name, and who are you again? Im pretty sure no one was talking to you, so keep out of it :) also, is that supposed to be a threat? or else? or else what, sir? thats what i thought
KairiAngel000 3 months ago
@KairiAngel000 That isn't the way a nice young girl should reply to a nice comment such as the one I posted. I think your reaction to all of this is way overthought... Again, for your own sake, I would just drop it. I've been in the same situation as you have, and believe me, it isn't fun when you poke around. More people will reply to you with comments such as the one I posted or even worse by other people. And this is the Internet, I can reply to whoever I want to.

@KairiAngel000 Thats because they took the intro from the song Straight to Hell by The Clash, shes actually covering the song from the Clash but M.I.A. just used the beat. Lily Allen is actually the goddaughter of Joe Strummer, the guitarist from the Clash....

@megafaded69 is what sarcasm? if its about paper planes sounding like this, it wasn't, but i now know so get over yourself :P
KairiAngel000 3 months ago
@KairiAngel000 MIA literally sampled the original clash song. I thought you were joking because they obviously sound identical. Joe Strummer lives!
megafaded69 3 months ago
@megafaded69 hahaha no i wasn't joking.... i was just wondering if it was just me or if someone else thought so to, and i had never heard of the orignial untill recently, so yeah :P

@KairiAngel000 How does this remind you of Paper Planes by M.I.A? Both songs sound nothing alike....

@angeleyes86ebby read all the comments directed to me, and realize how stupid you sound to me right now.
KairiAngel000 3 months ago
@KairiAngel000 Theres no need to be negative or disrespectful at all. What I asked you was a simple question. Im not sure what kind of comments you got before and no I will not read them as I do not have the time to do that, but all I asked was a question because I disagree with this sounding like "Paper planes", but all is love. I wish you nothing but the best.
Peace & love;)
angeleyes86ebby 3 months ago
@angeleyes86ebby I wasn't being rude or disrespectful, just annoyed at the fact that half the comments here say "The orignal song was by clash, Mia sampled the song in paper planes" so you can disagree all you want, but a part of this song was actually used in paper planes :P

How is this song a tribute to fallen war heroes? It's the fallen war heroes telling these innocent children to go Straight to Hell?

I love her accent. It's so sexy. It really is. I'd like to have a British accent. And when I sing her, I can't help but sing in a British accent.
