Lily Allen “Womanizer (Britney Spears Cover)”
Britney tunes always makes for the best cover material. Case in point: this rendition of “Womanizer” as handled by none-other-than Lily Allen (and, sssshhh…don’t tell anyone, but this version is a little better than the original).
Allen’s snarky delivery easily trumps Miss Spears’ dead-panned robo-drone as a fitting element within the anti-Lothario tune while the playful piano jaunt placed inside the bustling acoustic arrangement only adds to her taunting.
If there’s one thing to really be happy about concerning Britney’s return (well, besides, the former Mousketeer being in almost-top-form again and being taken off the tabloid press’ suicide watch and everything), it’s that we’re bound to get more of these lovely little remakes in the future.
Good job, Lil.
Have you heard Ladyhawke’s version?

Good find. What a great cover. This and the Hood Internet mash-up are much better than the original.
The first time I saw the picture (above) I wasn’t sure what to think! It’s hilarious, classic Lily Allen. It says yeah, I’m a pop star, but not the girl you think I am.
