The lyrics to Lily Allen’s “Fuck You Very Much”–which verbally flip off someone who wants to be like his father while also being racist, homophobic, generally closed-minded, and also an idiot–make me wonder if this track isn’t her attempt at writing a “statement” song that could easily be segued out of Jarvis Cocker’s just-as-salty anti-authority polemic “Running The World.” “Fuck You” is irresistibly catchy, and I look forward to it shooting to No. 1 on the ringtone charts as thousands of jilted lovers snag its chorus for purposes of signaling a call from their exes.

I missed it at the time, but Lily posted this, or part of it, to her MySpace page a few weeks back. She calls the tune “guess who batman?”:

It’s nothing less than the subtlest evisceration of ethnic hate since They Might Be Giants’ “You And Your Racist Friend.”
@Audif Jackson Winters III: I think this edges out the Giants, if for no other reason that they use the word “Racist” in the title.
I’m amazed I made it through that. Around 2:19, all that ken burns zooming helped me realize that she really reminds me of a lizard… a lizard whose voice will be bouncing around my skull for days.
