Lady Sovereign - Pretty Vacant

“We’re so pretty, you’re so pretty.” It takes guts to take on a classic song. Last time I remember this one being done was by Joan Jett, who actually managed to prettify it with a male chorus. It was strange, but eartaste friendly. Lady Sovereign did a much better job, however – she completely re-invents the song and gives it her own personal flavors without destroying the original. “You’ll always find us out to lunch!” Extremely tasty! Complete with Lady’s “oi oi oi yeah,” I applaud this effort and it will stay on the eartaste turntable for many months. “There’s no point in asking, you’ll get no reply.” Shoutout to My England!
