The tagline for this one could read: “When rehab and video recording schedules conflict!” No confirmation that Amy’s ongoing issues are to blame, but it’s fair to assume the tabloid ‘n’ narcotic nonsense surrounding Wino’s life these days made nabbing her for the shoot an issue. Good on Mark for playing off her absence, though; more like ‘Feat. Amy Winehouse (in spirit),’ the clip offers a series of five girls (dubbed The Winettes) fronting the Ronson band, with and without lyric sheets, lip syncing as Britney only wishes she could. Version’s not for everyone, but this Zutons cover’s an undeniably horny, swingin’ highlight. Also, by keeping Amy’s mug off camera, Mark effectively diffused future Sarah Silverman punchlines. That’s thinkin’.

    Fun cover version, and those girls definitely made up for Amy’s absence.

  2. That was really good. I liked mark ronson dorky hair cut. Looks like the 50’s retro is coming back

  3. My favourite cover on the album is “Just” (by Radiohead)

    one of two tracks on an otherwise great album ruined by poor vocals – the other one being “pretty green”. its like “chocolate rain” with better music.
