Cee-Lo Plays "F**k You" On The Jools Holland Show
Shut up. No one is tired of this song. The cast of "Mad Men" loves it. Cee-Lo played the BBC's Later… With Jools Holland last night and they let him sing the real lyrics. He wore an incredible suit and his band was like Rizzo and the Pink Ladies from Grease. The bass was fat and fuzzy and at the end Cee-Lo says "Fuck you" to everybody, but everybody knows he means that he loves them.
Fucking tremendous.
I do love a lady drummer too.
It's a CRAZY drumkit.
Cathartic
The awesome never ends.
Cee-Lo says "Fuck you" to everybody, but everybody knows he means that he loves them.
That's totally not the way I sing it.
No, not when he sings it-at the end, when he's addressing the audience. That's when it sounds loving.
The license owners must be thrilled with this. You still have to have a license for a tv over there, right?
When this song makes it to karaoke machines, it's going to be a party.
David Byrne is going to be pissed when he sees Cee-Lo stole his suit, though.
It's okay, because BIG, TALL, AND DAVID BYRNE finally has another spokesman.
But why a BIG suit? BECAUSE HE'S FAT.
The other awesome thing about this song is that its lyrics will prevent it from getting the "Glee" treatment.
I love the fact that he's actually singing and it isn't an exact duplication of the studio cut (and by that, I mean that he isn't just lip syncing along to the studio cut).
Tremendous job.
i think that band is the ultimate "fuck you!" oh, you're driving around town with that dude? well i TOUR THE FUCKING WORLD WITH THESE HOTTIES!
Cee-Lo and his "Pink Ladies" are just a delicious addition to my every day.
That was fun, obviously, and he sounds great and looks endearingly like the old Nintendo character Kirby. But is it too churlish to point out that several of the ladies were seemingly not actually playing their instruments?
It looked like a Robert Palmer video back there.
Less makeup, but totally. (I also realized I blew it on the Robert Palmer reference mere seconds after putting my comment up)
See iantenna's comment above. I think the 'hotties not actually playing their instruments' was completely intentional.
The drummer was for real and that's all that matters. But I think the others were actually playing, just not all particularly important or difficult parts. (I could be wrong about the one with the weird hair, though.)
I hate that I'm only 19 minutes too late to get that reference in. Damn you lunch!
pretty sure they're all playing. Sounds like there is a vocal backing track but the keyboard player is def in the left channel singing along as well. love it. Fuck you.
