Lily Allen: Fuck You (Video)

8:31 a.m. · June 22, 2009 · by Nick Neyland

Only Lily Allen could sing a song named “Fuck You” in such an innocuous manner. Her European record label is releasing the song as a single from the It’s Not Me, It’s You album, and it’s accompanied by this video, which is shot entirely from Allen’s perspective as she goes about a typical day.

Allen claims the song “is not a direct attack on anyone,” but it’s clearly a thinly veiled kick in the teeth aimed squarely at George W. Bush. The song even bore the awkward working titles “Guess Who Batman” and “"Get Wit the Brogram,” which are both constructed from the former president’s initials.
