Lily Allen: "Straight To Hell" (Clash Cover) (Audio)
You may recognize the guitar riff of the above song, "Straight To Hell"--it's the sample featured in M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes." But not technically, since the above video is Lily Allen's take on the Clash original for the War Child Heroes album. Allen's version is bent to her whims--poppy, really mellow--but it's a very faithful cover of the album. If anything, it's more happy than the original.
Heroes is due out on February 24 via Astralwerks. [Pitchfork]

This strikes me as a pretty sad attempt on Lily Allen's part to capitalize on the popularity of "Paper Planes." But then again, it's all for a good cause. And didn't the original artists handpick the cover artists on this comp? So conflicting!
it is all for a good cause, but this is a pretty uninspired cover all the same.
A likeable beloved majority is the reward of a well-spent youth. A substitute alternatively of its bringing dejected and dolour prospects of disintegrate, it would hand out us hopes of timeless youth in a less ill world.
