Anyone else hooked on this song? Can't tell if I like it, or if it's driving me mad, but I have to listen to it all the time ...

(What's her earlier stuff like? Also blues? Or what?)

It's really good, isn't it? Have only heard it once when flipping channels and was caught instantly by the combo of retro Motown and those lyrics. Here is the really ignorant bit - she is Amy Winehouse [sp??, ooh I'm your granny I'm so square], no? Or someone else?

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 10:31

I love it.. thinking about getting her album!

NotQuiteCockney · 02/11/2006 10:32

Yeah, Amy Winehouse.

Don't fear, I only really caught it from The Hits ...

The rest of the album seems to be the same, very retro.

i love it!

fantastic song.

she is anorexic though.

NotQuiteCockney · 02/11/2006 10:40

Is she?

Something in her manner reminds me of an anorexic friend back home, so I'm not surprised.

I like it too but not actually heard it all the way through yet

Hulan · 02/11/2006 10:41

I'm also hooked on that song. Love the lyrics and the way the video looks and oh, just about everything

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 10:42

She's anorexic? really? she doesn't look thin in the pictures I've seen? what a shame.

JackieNo · 02/11/2006 10:43

I like the bells in the background.

oliveoil · 02/11/2006 10:43

I like this too

reviews of album have been really really good

while I am here, who sings the song that is on the new Pentium ad (bing bing bing biiiiing), you know the one, lots of people dancing. The song goes "I can give you what you want". Woman singer.

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 10:45

Need a bit more to go on OO, don't think I've seen the ad

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 10:46

is it the ad with all the coloured bouncy balls?

Heathcliffscathy · 02/11/2006 10:46

she may not be diagnosed as such but she is a size 0 and used to be normal sized....must be all that cocaine!!!!

i love that she could learn as much from listening to donnie hathaway as going to rehab...that is such a great lyric.

oliveoil · 02/11/2006 10:48

no, no coloured balls

one person dancing into the camera, have seen an ad with a woman, one with a man

it's for the updated Pentium Processor (or something)

I WANT THE TUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heathcliffscathy · 02/11/2006 10:49

just googled and she has been diagnosed as having an eating disorder 'a bit of anorexia a bit of bulimia' in her own words but is 'recovering'.

NotQuiteCockney · 02/11/2006 10:51

I had a search, she's admitted to bulimia and anorexia.

oliveoil · 02/11/2006 10:52

SaintGeorge · 02/11/2006 10:53

Ice cream video

NotQuiteCockney · 02/11/2006 15:26

Ok, I think I've listened to this song 10 times today. At least. Aaargh.

OP posts:
oliveoil · 02/11/2006 15:55

the ice cream one?

NotQuiteCockney · 02/11/2006 15:56

No, but I did watch the video once.

Still hooked on rehab, so to speak.

How's your alarming ladygarden, oo?

DelGirl · 03/11/2006 16:12

I heard the beginning of this twice in 2 hours in the car. Missed most of it though and still haven't heard it all the way through!

FatThighs · 06/11/2006 18:53

I love it so much she is so good - am getting album tomorrow.

She is more cool than I can ever imagine being!
