Spoilt little public schoolgirl, daughter of a famous english actor (who is one of these small people with attitude syndrome types) with ties to the music business who pretends she is from the street with her lyrics about crackwhores etc. Perlease !!

Please R.P don't play this crap again, there is nothing genuine or talented about this at all.

Nil points.

 

Fun and funny... the song's great!

Sorry matey, I must repsectfully disagree, I live in London, and it's still seriously irritating

She is just too adorable not to like, but she'd probably just get drunk and kick me. So this song is kinda like her, sounds cutesy, but really is kinda dark...

I lived in London for 6 years and I still think this is awful, childish and irritating drivel with terrible forced ryhmes.  Ok, I can divide it.  It's the music that is irritating and the lyrics that are just awful, childish drivel.

Could she sound any more adorable? Almost disgustingly so...
and yet, the very apparent english accent gives it an edge.

fantastic, a London set. Heather Nova, David Bowie, pretend chav Lily Allen,

oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?

I can understand the polarised responses to this. IMO if you don't know London (or Lahndahn, as the inhabitants would have it) this song will mean absolutely zip, and may well be seriously irritating. IIRC Lily Allen recorded a milder version of this with far more innocent lyrics which was released to the general public, and did very well in the pop charts.

You wouldn't catch me dissing Lily - her dad's a serious hard nut!

I like this a lot more if her old man wasn't such ****!

Love it! God Bless the Queen -- we're still getting great music from across the pond!

Go ahead Bill, throw it in every now and then!

I get it. The rest of the album follows right along. It's great in the car really really loud.

Fascinating the polarized response to this. Yes, it's pop, but the great barbed lyrics make this very clever pop. It's also pretty unpretentious, unlike all the Britney-alikes and their kin. For us Brits it's in a direct line from the deliciously observed music that Ian Dury used to produce before he sadly left us.

If you don't get it, I would have to question whether maybe it's because you're taking things a bit too seriously. Or maybe you just don't get the British sideways look at life.

Fun. Tongue-in-chic.

I imagine this song isn't for everyone on RP (as evidenced by the rating of around 6), but I like it. Something about BritPop is so much better than the American pop out there. I'd much rather listen to Lily Allen than Britney Spears or someone like that. There's some humor in Lily's lyrics that makes it more enjoyable to me.

Awful. Simply awful. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. Sucko-barfo indeed.

Not digging it!

Not quite right for a rainy, chilly day in Houston. Though it is cheering in a way.

Didn't Samantha Fox already sing this song? Or maybe it's just that Little Miss Allen reminds me of Samantha Fox in all her East End trashiness. Only without the sex appeal.

Bleh! :puke:
