Setting video footage of a person or event you don’t like to Lily Allen’s song “Fuck You” is officially, and perhaps predictably, a thing like the Downfall meme. Behold:
(Update: okay, okay, yes, the song is about Bush. I don’t know nothin’ about music, or, um, paying attention to lyrics.) There’s another Bush one, with the shoe-thrower. While I can think of targets more relevant than Bush (Bernie Madoff?), this is an even better use of this song than the Cadbury Kids. If only we had had this song during the election! (Thanks for the tip, Joann!)

Considering the song is about Bush, I suppose it’s as relevant as it gets
Didn’t Lily Allen say something like it could apply to a number of people?
Either way, I do like it :]
That would make sense, then. Because it’s odd for her to be doing an explicitly political song.
It WAS originally called GWB when she posted it on her myspace, so people assumed it was about Bush, but then she changed the name to Guess Who Batman and threw everyone off.
Hahaha, oops. At least I was joking about it being already a meme (I think those two are it so far.)
Glad to see other people who don’t listen (care?) about lyrics.
