  • buen tema flaca...

  • she's a great singer. So this cover is acceptable.

  • you fucked up this beautiful song you cunt fuck you

  • JOOOOOOOOE!!!!!!!!

  • Joes lyrics are brilliant

  • BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM I DONT LIKE

    VIVA THE CLASH !!!!

  • Not bad i like it lol

  • the beginning reminds me of.........

    soul pancake?

  • num-nun -tastic!

    Lily, thank you for the work that you be doing for our people

  • 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.

  • hahaha.. i love the Seinfeld ad.. the best delay of a youtube video ever!!

  • ho chi minh!!

    

  • 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.

  • repley~ 0:00

  • Go Straight to Hell, Lily Allen.

  • 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

  • lilly''''''  wtf??? hun, are you half philapino?

  • @kurt771965

    Ip she were ... Filipino ... she would habe much dippiculty saying her

    (braces for it)

    F's and her V's, and she would replace them with B's and P's.

    (God that was hard for me.)

    I think she was reperring to the Bietnamese and Japanese.

  • I fucking love The Clash

    

  • go straight to hell boys~

  • i like the sound, but i have no idea what the song is about and is it me, or is it a little offensive?

  • my favourite Clash song of all time...leave it alome Lilly

  • fuck sake where are the lyrics. anyway, awesome:)

  • @MultiKleva in the description

  • good 

  • 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.

    SHAME!

  • @watcher1733 She And her family where friends with Joe

  • @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 Do you think the subject in 'it's not fair' is happy or pleasant? You wouldn't tell from the tune either, but it's not.

  • @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.

  • Truly one of the worst cover versions I've ever heard.. On par with the Rolf Harris cover of Stairway To Heaven...

  • Great cover but the whole time I'm listening to it I can't wait to listen to the original after it's done

  • This is better then the original. i mean, original is good, but this time lily wins.

  • @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. :)

    P.S. sorry about my english.

  • @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

  • Comment removed

  • @jimjimtrains hehe ok mate, enjoy the clash's original and lily's cover too. :)

  • A fucking great cover! Brilliant in fact!

  • You know, I really think this is a good cover. :o

  • glee could suck my weewee

  • Comment removed

  • how rad that lily allen likes the clash!!!

  • @kelsa3 mick jones is her godfather i think.

    joe would have loved this song

  • sound familiar? /watch?v=bkyCrx4DyMk

  • What is this song about???

  • @benjaminthomasmoore about vietman children left behind by american soldiers

    

  • @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 singing goats are soooooooo cute!!! XD

  • Sounds like Paper Planes by MIA at the beginning.

  • @MGrass420 lol @ you

  • @MGrass420 yeah it actually does!

  • @MGrass420 pfff of course!... MIA uses the beginning of The Clash's song as a sample...

  • @hassergam Not the beginning... it's the whole riff...

  • I like the clash version, have listened to punk for a long time, but I still like this version better. I just like her voice. So shoot me.

  • WTF she should go straight to hell for this.

  • @gimelgort

    Thats mean. :c its a song and its good.

  • 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!

  • @ChristineLeakeyMusic Exactly. No more words needed.

  • 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!

  • This song sounds interesting, but unfortunately its nowhere near the original. Check out the clash's version, its just awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • WTF is this Glee

  • @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 Joe Strummer was her godfather.

  • @giggsdownthewing that's nice,but still does that give her the right to ruin a great song?

  • @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

  • @MrBeatlesfan41 maybe I was a bit mean I tried just not into it,good for her tho

  • @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.

  • HOLY SHIT why the hell haven't i heard this song b4???? i LOVE it!

  • How the fuck are we gunna see the slideshow if the lyrics are in the description -.-

  • Well I like it, and I know what I like......fanx Lily, you did a great cover of one of my favorite songs.

    Mick.

  • you fucked up the song bitch!

  • Great Job Lilly. Not Easy to cover the clash

  • 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.

  • @stuartstwtts

    She collaborated with Joe Strummer ?

  • @trollfinger He's been dead for soon 9 years and thats not strummer you fuckwit!

  • @jacobsenx2

    I was being sarcastic to a previous post.

  • @trollfinger sure you where

  • 1:12 what is that pic from?

  • Me thinks the song is about immigration.

  • 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.

  • The Clash anyone? Try hear the original song =], it's aewsome too!

  • @felipemaiden13

    Yeah, sure I recognize this!

    But I like the version of The Clash more!

  • @MrMichelmies Yeah me too!

  • @felipemaiden13 What do you mean too? That implies this ignorant piece of shit cover is good.

  • @felipemaiden13 Of course the origininal is the best,actually the best son ever made.

  • Can someone please explain to me what this song means?

  • @ElleonOnline It's about how terribly people treat immigrants.

  • HEY PEOPLE!!!! I get it, its The Clash's "Straight to Hell!" NO NEED TO TELL ME EVERY DAY! :) hahaha it makes me laugh a bit though

  • 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.

    1.say your name 10 times

    2.now say you moms name 5 times.

    3.say your your crushes name 3 times

    4.Paste this to 3 other songs. If you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. But if you read this and dont paste this then you will have very bad luk

  • Sounds nothing like MIA or Paper Planes

  • @EverydayDeonte Paper Planes "sampled" the music from the original "Straight to Hell" by The Clash. It is in the credits.

  • It reminds me of the Clash O.o seriously Mia jeez

  • 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.

  • Kari, it totally reminds me of straight to hell, and Lily has a great cover too!

  • LOL Of course paper planes reminded us of this....

  • @rekkof i was just wondering if it sounded a bit like this or if it was just me

  • I want her accent so bad!

  • @Yerevan1017 hahaha its okay xD its blowing up my inbox so badly though!

  • what a refreshing take on a 70's clash classic keeping good music alive for the next gext generation thumbs up people please!

  • I love The Clash and I hear this now for the first time, and since Lily's very pleasant music and appearance, I love this one too.

    Volim D Kleš i sada kada čujem ovo po prvi put, s obzirom da na njenu prijatnu muziku i pojavu, gotivim i ovu.

  • HEY PEOPLE i get it, okay? ^ ^ i didnt know, so no need to be rude!

  • @KairiAngel1000 and @NessahGoddess its a cover of a Clash song that MIA sampled for her song Paper Planes.

  • i dont care what she used u have to admit she made it work

  • She's damn cute

  • Let's calm down people, its Youtube(: Watch the videos, enjoy the music and go with the flow.

    Love Lily Allen<3

  • @Whore4sex And you're the 2nd.

    Congratulations.

    Cunt.

  • paper planes by Mia? did that remind anyone else of this song?

  • @KairiAngel000

    Agreed!

  • @NessahGoddess Paper Planes samples the Clash song, Straight to Hell, and this is a cover of Straight to Hell. Thats why they seem similar.

  • @KairiAngel000 yeap

  • @KairiAngel000 Wow yeah

  • @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 they sampled this from the clash. so did mia

  • @KairiAngel000 mia ripped of an old clash song called "straight to hell" this is a remix with the clash chorus

  • @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.

  • @siemvandenberg kk, no need to be rude (: I was just wondering

  • @KairiAngel000 How was that rude? I's only dispensing information.

  • @siemvandenberg The "so no wonder" part was a little rude, just saying. It's not like I'm offended by it or anything :P

  • @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 wtf all sensitive?

  • @sergiothecomedian oh hey i wasnt talking to you, so mind your buisness asshole (:

  • @KairiAngel000 wow...sensitive *and* a complete bitch. nice combo

  • @sergiothecomedian I don't have to take that crap from a man with a vagina

  • @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.

  • @CommandoNikomer The "nice comment" you posted you threatened me in, so just shut up, thanks :)

  • @KairiAngel000 haha pendejadas

  • @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 the original song is by the clash its way better then both of these songs lol...

  • @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 Paper Planes by MIA IS this song. She sampled the original. Look it up, it's by The Clash.

  • @GenoClown yeah i got that thanks

  • @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. :)

  • @xelectricityscape yeah i actually knew that xD about forty other random people decided to tell me withen the course of two weeks!!

  • @KairiAngel000 Seriously, is that sarcasm?

  • @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 MIA literally sampled the original clash song. I thought you were joking because they obviously sound identical. Joe Strummer lives!

  • @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 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 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

  • @KairiAngel000 Are you kidding me? At least Lily Allen made a cover, Mia Stole the song from THE CLASH

  • @vicoco88 Yup, I kinda got that..... about 300 people told me already

  • @KairiAngel000 uhmm sorry :P

  • @KairiAngel000 the original song was by the clash. Mia sampled the song in paper planes

  • Fuck you, stupid cunt. Well, let me just say how completely unimpressive your efforts are to separate yourself from your nature. Fuck you bitch.

  • Fuck you, stupid cunt.

  • Lily boo,CLASH CHEER

  • New favorite song. I miss Lily Allen a lot. Hope she comes back soon... ;(

  • boo

  • Proof, whether or not you like the version, a GREAT song can be done in any matter of fashion and still ring!

  • 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?

  • she lost all her frustration.. her music's getting bad but i want her meds

  • 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.

  • @BlastedHipsters

    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...are you talking about?

  • @BlastedHipsters we are talking about the reality of things here.

  • @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.....
