New Lily Allen - "Guess Who Batman?"

thubmnail icon: New Lily Allen - "Guess Who Batman?"

The title to this Lil snippet may have you start asking WHY SO SERIOUS?, but really Lily's tackling narrowminded and homophobic politicians, with a healthy dab of showtuney whimsy. In her own blog words:

its just an idea , called "guess who batman ? " . my label wont let me put whole songs up till next week . .anyway heres one idea . i did the edit myself on garage band so sorry for the abrupt ending . this song is not a direct attack at anyone , it was origianally written about the BNP in the uk but then i felt this issue has become relevant pretty much everywhere , we are the youth , we can make coolness for our future , its up to us . go green and hate hate .

Have a listen at MySpace.

Lily writes "hate hate" and "[we're] So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbour" -- then follows it with "we hate what you do, and we hate your whole crew". "Look in a mirror," indeed.
