Cee-Lo Green - "Fuck You" Video

Cee-Lo Green brings it on this in-you-face retro soul jam. The message here is unambiguous and the beat is booty shaking. You'll be singing your own version by the end of the day, supplemented by personal failed-love dramatics and punctuated with those addicting "ooo ooo oooo"s. Apparently, a "real" video is supposed to be unveiled sometime in the near future for this track, but I kind of like the artistic karaoke version. Just think of that special person in your life and crank this one up... I guarantee you'll fell better instantaneously.

So good. It made my morning.

The backup vocals are the best part, particularly during the "Oh shit, she's a gold-digger. Just thought you should know, ni99a." Haha, where do you find this shizz!?

He pumped out high quality tunes like this all the time, I'd be his biggest fan.

Had me dancing this morning! Seriously, putting this on repeat in the afternoon.

I can't wait to buy the MP3.

Finally I can actually
buy the song. For $1.29 I got a 320 kbps MP3. It's not iTunes or eMusic pricing, but at least it is in regular MP3 format and most importantly, I can add it to my party playlist right now.

The official video has been released.

Could it possibly better than the first one?

awmercy said...

It's on his Facebook page if you want to check it out.

Did you check out Gwyneth Paltrow's version yet? Why must she ruin everything, haha. What do you think of William Shatner's at least?

Ugh. I saw that.

I actually haven't sought out any of the covers. I liked some of the response songs, but I am not sure what people think they are adding to it by recording themselves covering it. I understand they like it – it is a great song – but I don't need to hear their karaoke version unless they are re-imagining it somehow. That said, it could be a fun sing-along to work into an encore.
