What The F%$k?

Lily Allen can boast the best-selling British album so far this year, having already shifted in excess of 1.2 million copies of her sophomore album, 'It's Not Me, It's You. As such, you think she would have splashed out a bit more on the video for 'Fuck You', as opposed to subjecting us to a three and a half minute advert for Adobe After-Effects.

Heck, even an appearance by La Allen herself would have been nice. As much as I appreciate the clever use of her Twitter profile pic on the polaroid photograph, it doesn't excuse the fact that she clearly wasn't involved at any stage of the video's production.

Verdict: must try harder.




Edit: I love the song though. The 'Why Do Birds...'-esque melody teamed with the vulgar lyrics is brilliantly subversive.
