Quite why seriously talented people like Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse get involved with things like this only their bank managers can attest. It must have taken them all of 10 minutes to put this together. Amy Winehouse could do this in her sleep - and probably did. Its clean cut and everyone is familiar with the song, so on that front it will no doubt do well. Sadly they are capable of far greater projects. There are 9 versions of 'Valerie' on this single. Jesus.
Released 15/10/07 on Columbia.

- i think this is the best song in the world
- i love this song its peng
- Anyone who can say ’It must have taken them all of 10 minutes to put this together’ knows nothing about music - not about what it takes to record, nor the reasons why someone might do it. Idiot. Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouse’s version of Valerie is not only an awesome, joyful cover that gives an existing song a whole new meaning, it is also infinitely better than the original. I defy anyone not to start tapping their feet to it. One of the tracks of the year.
