Somebody Stop Him

Somebody called Mark Ronson has recently released an astonishingly bad version of “Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before” by The Smiths. Personally, I’d like to take Mr Ronson up on his invitation, to the extent that I’d cheerfully snip his particularly untalented vocal chords with a sharp pair of scissors if the opportunity arose. Failing this, a less-favourable (though equally effective) solution would be to ram rusty cutlery in my ears in an effort to not hear him sing it again.

The cool lackadaisical voiceover on the advert for his album on telly claims it features “the vocal talents of Lily Allen”. This is a bit like claiming that Big Break features the “comedy” of Jim Davidson. It’s like trying to polish a turd with an oily rag.
