Hi guys! So today I wanted to do a comparison between two versions of one of my favorite songs. The original was written and recorded by British indie band The Kooks in 2006, the highest selling single of their career thus far, with Lily Allen recording her own version in 2008 for the "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging" soundtrack. At its most basic the song seems to describe a relationship ruined by betrayal. Even though the lyrics are the same in both versions, the vastly different performances seem to alter the meaning.

How important is the stylistic approach to the connotation of a song? Which version do you prefer?
