Lily Allen: "Not Fair" (Video)

I'm not sure what the connection is between a mock Country & Western show and premature ejaculation, but the former is the setting for the video for Lily Allen's "Not Fair," her latest single taken from It's Not Me, It's You, about the latter. It's not the first time Miss Allen has touched on the subject, having mentioned it, along with other male sexual shortcomings on the similarly-titled "Not Big" off Alright Still.

Her "I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed/ I'm feeling pretty damn harddone by/ I spent ages giving head," is up there with PJ Harvey's "I suck it 'til I'm white/ but you leave me dry," from 1993, although Miss Allen's chastisement is sung  far more sweetly. [Stereogum]
