Cougar Microbes

Last month we featured Eliza Doolittle delightfully covering Cee-Lo Green‘s ubiquitous ‘Fuck You‘ track. The London girl is developing a habit for these impromptu covers on the road and her latest effort focuses on Coldplay‘s first single ‘Yellow‘. She even succeeds in making Chris Martin‘s lyrics sound vaguely meaningful.

What I like most about these videos is the sense of camaraderie that clearly exists between the singer and her band members. Looks like being on the road with Eliza Doolittle is a whole lot of fun.

Back in the summer we singled out Eliza Doolittle‘s performance in our Bestival overview.

The London singer-songwriter posted her version of Cee-lo Green‘s inescapable track ‘Fuck You‘ on her Youtube channel and it gets two Cougar thumbs up.

Cee Lo Green‘s video for ‘No One’s Gonna Love You ‘ made quite an impression at Cougar HQ. His followup video, the eloquently titled ‘Fuck You‘, is a completely different proposition but equally as effective visually.

I’m willing to bet in some non-english speaking country this track is being played in the morning just in time for kids to hum along to on the way to school.

The kind of song you can dedicate to your ex with a smile, Catchy as fuck!

TRACK

Cee Lo Green – Fuck You

Band of Horses epic break-up symphony “No One’s Gonna Love You” has rocked a lot of iPod‘s since its release in 2007. After 3 years, one listener decided to take the track to the next level. Thankfully for humanity, that auditory scientist was Cee Lo Green of Goodie Mob & Gnarls Barkley fame.

He has insanely popified the track with his ultra-unique vocals and uplifting whilst simultaneously depressing hip-hop electronica. For this task he has undertaken, I am very pleased.

Oh yes, and the Video is beyond incredible.
