Kaiser Chiefs' Slam Girls Aloud's Cover Version

Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson has slammed Girls Aloud for covering their biggest hit - and changing the lyrics.

The frontman says he is now "after" the girl band after they played 'I Predict A Riot' on their recent tour without permission and changed the line 'borrow a pound for a condom' to 'borrow a pound for a phone call'.

He tells the Daily Star, "I don't give a shit if they don't change the words. But they did change the words.

"I'm gonna cover a Girls Aloud song and change all their words but make them really filthy. They said 'Borrow a pound for a phone call'. What? It's illegal, Girls Aloud. We're after you."

Chiefs’ drummer Nick Hodgson praised Lily Allen for asking permission to cover the song herself, but calls the Girls Aloud version “embarrassing”.

He explained, “Lily asked our permission for the song. Girls Aloud didn't and then they changed the words. It's embarrassing because people think we have been asked and we haven't been."
