Lily Allen - Don’t Get Me Wrong Pretenders Cover | To Celebrate Radio 1 40th Birthday
October 4, 2007 by Dave Parrack
I’m kind of in love with Lily Allen. Not as much as Kate Nash, but still quite a lot, in a non-stalky threatening way. I think it may be her third nipple, or maybe just the fact that she’s a kick ass British singer with a great voice and attitude to boot.
She recently covered ‘Don’t Get Me Wrong’ by The Pretenders for Radio 1’s 40th anniversary and this is the outcome. I know the video isn’t much cop, it was radio after all, but the combination of the picture of Lily, and this fun cover make it worth a watch…
I was a fan of the original but this version kicks even more bum than that. I don’t know if its the Cockney accent or just the fact that the tune has been brought right bang up to date, but it works.
Carry on flying the flag Lily.
All I can say is - not as bad as I expected.
