I can't help but comment on the brilliance that is Cee Lo Green, ex-Goodie Mob / ex-Dungeon Family / ex-Gnarls Barkley member. Most of you probably won't recall Goodie Mob, or Dunegon Family for that matter, but you will be familiar with tracks by Gnarls Barkley.
Their 2006 worldwide smash Crazy seemed to stay in the charts for what seemed like eternity, and was covered by everyone from Nelly Furtado to The Kooks. Hell, even the Violent Femmes covered the track and released it on a limited edition blue 12" vinyl. The scariest cover of all however would probably have to go to Paris Hilton, who supposedly covered the track for her debut album... although it missed the final cut. Yeah, damn for us.
Back to Cee Lo. His new single, Fuck You!, off his third solo album (The Lady Killer, out December worldwide) is just fantastic. Whilst we were righteously informed with Lily Allen's Fuck You in 2009 which for me was more about a statement, Cee Lo's Fuck You! is clearly aimed towards some dirty bitch who dissed him growing up. Gotta love it. Enjoy the clip below.
