News: Arctic Monkeys cover Amy Winehouse for Radio 1 compilation
Sep 18, 07
Arctic Monkeys have covered a song by Amy Winehouse for a new compilation.
As revealed in the summer, the acts are both fans of each other, and the Sheffield band even invited Winehouse to support them at their Old Trafford shows in Manchester.
Now Arctic Monkeys have returned the favor, releasing their version of the singer's “You Know I'm No Good”.
The track will feature on the second Radio 1 Live Lounge album, based around sessions from Jo Whiley's radio show.
The album, out on October 22, will also feature Maximo Park playing The Proclaimers' “I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)” and Biffy Clyro covering Rihanna's number one single “Umbrella”.
This compilation should be good, not on account of the Monkeys/Winehouse, but check out The Proclaimers, huh. Still getting royalties for that goddamn song. Those twins are rich, biotch!
Godspeed!
