Zutons, The - Valerie Lyrics

Best version

This would have half the views if Amy didn't cover it. Sad but true. Just look at the comments.

This sucks hard

Why didn't I know this version existed until I saw it in a table post?

you know, some people knock those who find music on video games.
but i bet more people would know this one if they played Lego Rock Band.

The original is always the best. No matter how god Amy winehouses’s version was it wasn’t written like that. And doesnt it sound weird being sung By woman anyway?
Why do people think they can do better than the original? If the writer want it sung differently they would have written it like that.
You wouldn’t change a successful novel, why change a song!

My local alternative radio station played this recently. And yes, I listened to the Amy Winehouse version of the song a few ages ago.

Seen them at the Picturedrome Holmfirth last year , they were great and the venue is BOSS as they themselves might say . Would advise anyone to check it out .

What about Steve Winwood ?

Awesome

Amy winehouse version is better

At least this dude Sings the words proper.

Even if you dont like mark and amys version at least be happy the zutons are still champagne from it

Why didn't you just go over Valerie?

I was never a big fan of this song, and I think the production on the track could be a lot better. However, after hearing numerous bad uptempo cover versions (all sung, weirdly, by women), it's quite therapeutic to come back and hear the original. This is easily the best version, though I wouldn't say I loved any of them.

I’m one of the few who knew this song...great song...rock music forever!!!
The other version is crap...sort of ruined this song. In addition this is a much harder version to make, then the other...Zutons are talented band as most rock bands are...rock music should get more respect then it does today!! Too many great rock bands out there that radio and record company’s are not playing, and we are force to listen shit like the other version, Taylor swift or Beyoncé, etc!!!

Lunch date. Grandma. Phone no

Anybody else come here feeling nostalgic after the amazon alexa ad? (I know they play the Amy version in the advert but I remember this one from my youth).

My name is Valerie and I love this song

Amy’s version made a drab song much better

Alexa, get a clue on who sang Valerie...

Original always has passion; written from the heart

Still trying to decide which version I like in 2019 🤪

Jeffrey Deez winos easy

Zutons killed amy winehouse cos she stole there song

I love this cover!!

Lacey im not even gonna try arguing anymore

Lol if this is a cover then the world is flat

Cyclone718 the world is flat!!

@Lacey of course it is lmao

Cyclone718 yes, there is no evidence to suggest it is spherical, therefore I believe it is flat

much better in 1.5x

1.25x speed ARMY

So love this song!!!!

0:19 - He's my friend's dad 😂She wasn't lying😂😂

Sorry this is my fave version I was cracked on this when it came out in the summer of 2006,and what a video. Class!

The cover is a cover of another cover... but hey, they are all still good ;)

Martin Johnsson no it's not it's a ZUTONS original

Excelent Cover!!!

well this got bigger than they ever could have planned.

Still the best version

I feel Dave was robbed when Amy covered HIS song. It happens but its not fair. All you have to do to understand is simply put yourself in Daves shoes. Nuff said.

The brothers comatose version is my favorite.

Thank you for writing this for Amy.

Gara2 Indonesia Idol 2020 ane nyasar dimari...

Kesini gara” idol

Kesini karena penasaran kyk apa lagunya.krna d setiap indonesian idol klw ada yg mau nyanyi valerie para juri lngsung terkejut dan blg "are u sure sing this song?"

Ternyata beda banget sama yg dibawain di idol ya..

I always thought it was Amy Winehouse in the video

Aku lebih suka yg versi ini daripada Amy winehouse.

Every version of this song makes my ears very happy and makes me want to hear more from the person singing it. And regardless of opinion of the show glee, I'm including Naya Rivera's cover bc she killed it as well imo.

Gara2 indonesian idol

Well that sure sucked!!..👎👎

Siapa nyari lagu ini karena nada

is it creepy that the girl in this video kinda reminds me of Amy Winehouse?

Loved this whole album when it was released, working in a music store back then and I fell in love for the first time one week after this album came out, but unfortunately she left me a few years ago 😭 so it's difficult listening to any music from 2006 - 2013 😭

1.25 speed is "better". Yall were right.

To be true ya, this song sings by the zutons have so much meaning in it. Amy winehouse did awesome but i always misinterpret it, i think the song telling us about a pretty girl who go shop anywhere and sassy and cutie and fun but the fact, this song is about a man who wonder his woman is alright when he is far away. My opinion btw 🤗

Top tune shame on the heads that only knew this from winehouse tut tut

This reminds me of the shawshank redemption

can you imagine the feeliong ....at that band practise

Is the cop one of the Property Brothers?!?

David Misita looks like them.

i assumed that was Kristen Wigg until I knew who Abi was

best and original

Sept 2019..still with you..

Great Music! I'm Not Down with Alexa...

That women looks similar to amy..isn't that funny ?

all hail the worse version of valerie

Which year is this son?

I doubt they did this video till Amy did her hit cover, that's why the girl looks like Amy.

Good version, original, lot better than primadonna whinehouses

And I miss your ginger pubes and the way they used to smell

This version has more 'soul'... It's cool Ronson put them on the map with his take on the song, but this version is always going to slap hardest.

Amy's has more soul by any standard . This is more RAW.

Por fin la encontre, pensé que me iria a la tumba sin oirla, puedo morir en paz.

Where do scouse accents go during singing?? 🕵🏻‍♀️

I dont give a damn about amy winehouse... This is the best

Escape "el chapo style"

Isn't this unjust that the original Creator's of the song have never been associated??
It is wreckful if you ask me

Unpopular opinion!

wonderful

I'm bumbed I had to hear that Amy's lady version first. That bitch is whack

Liverpool music 🎶 There’s something about this city that no other can match.

Huge fan of Amy. She does the song amazingly beautifully raw 🖤
But



I love this version better though

Both are great, but I prefer Amy’s version! ❤️

Just wanted to watch this video due to that commercial

I like this version the best.

Anyone here from alexa commercial

Indie rock lo mejor

Shout out to Valerie Star and her early 2000’s criminal antics for inspiring this iconic song <3

Please don’t hate me everyone but I like more Amy cover because I like the type oldies rhythm 😅

I love Amy Winehouse version much better 👑🔥🔥🔥

I’m so fucking tired of hearing the Amy Winehouse version, especially at Karaoke. We get it, you can sing really well, but please for the love of god pick a new song!

I’m going to sing this version one night just to be spiteful & I bet everyone will be like “what cover version is this?” No motherfuckers, this is the ORIGINAL. This version also to me is 10x better. I don’t care what anybody has to say. Yes Amy put her efforts in but you can’t beat the original.

Wow, so a tempo change made all the difference! I do like Dave McCabes voice. I don't get this video, doesn't even make sense to the song. I read where McCabe met a girl in America..anyway I do like this original. the song. ; )

Alexa commercial anyone ? 😂

You could never beat the original 🎶

Who watched this because of the ad

The commercial brought me here

Sounds nothing like the song on the commercial forAmazon Echo. Is this the same song?

Backing vocals in the chorus makes me shiver 💙

Gran rola . Me encanta

Amy Winehouse does it best!
