The "No Pigeons" Of 2006

Streets protégé Example delivers a response single to Lily Allen's charttopping "Smile."

Here's Example's "Vile" clip:

If you've got more than one baby daddy...

Yeah, girl, I'm talkin' to you!

Man, remember how in the "No Pigeons" video, they had that little logo and hand gesture worked up and everything? Great, great stuff.

Is there an mp3 of this anywhere? I tried to download it off of their myspace, but that isn't working (as usual...)

it sounds like he is singing "na na na-na...you're a douche" near the end, which is hilarious but probably not true. The socks are cute, I like it.

They're singing Vindaloo -- it's an English football song by (amongst other people) Lily's dad.
