JUDGE POP Returns

We welcome back JUDGE POP from a hard week patrolling the mean streets of Mega-City Pop, with only his six types of bullet standing between him and a host of lawbreaking perps.

Some of Judge Pop's cases - such as the return of Cud - are easily solved. Others present a stiffer test. Take imminent No.1 chirpstress Lily Allen, for example. Keith Allen's daughter playing pop-ska and singing about smiling - the saviour of the summer or an apalling musical crime. Judge Pop needs YOUR help in deciding!



[Poll #763994]

Thankyou, citizen. Now move along to the comment box.

Lily Allen is TEH ACE! Lyrically, she's as good a poet as Morrissey, Mike Skinner or any of the other "great lyricists", and funny to boot, musically she's the sound of the summer, a fresh breezy chunk of pop goodness.

"Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can't afford it,
It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage"


"Nah, I've gotta go, my house is on fire.... I've got herpes, er, no, I've got syphilis"

Haha I really really hate Morrissey and Skinner's* lyrics too!

*I now discount Original Pirate Material completely as it was clearly fluke genius and possibly not really Mike Skinner

on the face of it

"It's just the bureaucrats who won't give me a mortgage" is a TERRIBLE line (though i imagine it can be redeemed by delivery)

I'm imagining Paris singing it and silently guffawing to myself.
