Hey, it's that riff from the Clash's "Straight to Hell", remember it? And this time it's actually being used in a version of the Clash's "Straight to Hell". That's London songstress Lily Allen on this particular cover. She contributed this laidback version of the dubby Joe Strummer-sung original to the covers comp Heroes, which benefits War Child, a charity that helps children stranded in war zones across the world. She sounds slightly bored to me, but I think that's just her style, to float above things a little bit, keeping her distance while letting the song do its work.[from Heroes; due 02/16/09 in the UK on Parlophone and 02/24/09 in the U.S. on Astralwerks]
