Lily Allen kidnaps Elton John
Published Tuesday, Oct 27 2009, 09:41 GMT | By Nick Levine | 5 comments
In her new video, of course! 'Who'd Have Known' is a song about that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when a fledgling relationship seems to be going well - "Even though it's moving forward / There's just the right amount of awkward" - but the promo clip taps into the hint of sadness just beneath the surface. It's a clever, entertaining affair that raises plenty of wry smiles, but we can't help thinking that the real Elton would kick up more of a fuss. After all, Lily's flat doesn't seem to contain a single vase of flowers. Just not good enough, is it? (P.S. No need to fret, Take That fans - the boys have got a writing credit.)

Well seeing as Take That gave her the permission to use the melody, yes, yes it is. I love the video! (:

Aside from the fact that the chorus unashamedly steals the melody from Take That's Shine; it's a genius video!

I never realized or noticed that this song was similar to Shine. Anyway I love this winter anthem and the vid. But she must release Chinese and Everyones At It as singles!
