We’ve already featured a country song that wasn’t exactly typical of the genre. Today’s exhibit might share that trait, but it’s certainly way better – not only as far as the quality of the music is concerned, but also the video, which was done in the way of the Porter Wagoner show, a popular television programme featuring country music in the US of the sixties and seventies. It’s worth watching for what must be the most bored drummer ever (beating even Palmer) alone.
Lily Allen wrote “Not Fair” about a lazy lover who appears to be the perfect boyfriend in every other way, but leaves her sexually frustrated on a regular basis. The guy in question must have been pretty oblivious, as she stated that “the person in question is far too arrogant to even consider that it might be about him”. Unfortunately for her the song sort of backfired, as after its release some potential lovers supposedly were too intimidated by the prospect of having a song written about their sexual prowess to tag along.
I can’t help thinking the fate of her brother Alfie’s character Theon Greyjoy must somehow be related to this song.
