Lily Allen in varying degrees of quality
Here’s the new Lily Allen single: Video inspired by the iPhone, song inspired by The Carpenters’ Close To You.

It’s a shame that such a clever video has been wasted on a song which is little more than a nursery rhyme – both musically and lyrically.
Much better is this mash-up of Lily’s last single, Not Fair, with the theme tune to top-notch 1980s kids show The Littlest Hobo. Not only does it improve the song tenfold, but raises the prospect of Lily being stuck in an unsatisfactory relationship with a dog. Ewww.
