i’ve already posted the video for mark ronson’s version of “oh my god,” and here’s the clip for his cover of the zutons’ “valerie.” both tracks are fantastic, but this is the second time the vocalist hasn’t bothered to show up for the video shoot.
i realize that lily allen and amy winehouse, who lends her voice to “valerie,” do have a lot on their plate (not to mention their respective penchants for drink and drug), but wouldn’t this video have been so much better if amy had done her part instead of some pretty look-a-likes? i suppose mark is learning a hard lesson right now — when you employ such wild dames, though admittedly very talented, they might not be well enough to scratch your back when you need it.
