Oh My God (Kaiser Chiefs Song) - Mark Ronson Version

Mark Ronson Version

In 2006, "Oh My God" was covered by Lily Allen on her second mixtape. Allen later re-recorded the track with Mark Ronson for his Version album in 2007, and then went on to become the second single release from the album that same year. The single was a success, reaching the UK Top 10. It was released as the album's First single in Brazil, due to Lily Allen's success in that country. The music video was directed by Nima Nourizadeh, and features a cartoon version of Allen (a reference to Jessica Rabbit in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) performing the song and flirting in the Ink and Paint Club. The Kaiser Chiefs themselves make a cameo. Of notice is that, in the video, "Lily Allen" is the only toon present. Most of the toons that worked at the club (the octopus bartender, the penguin waiters, Bongo the Gorilla and Betty Boop) have been replaced by human beings. When Mark Ronson performed at the BBC Electric Proms in 2007, Lily Allen had been the intended singer of the song but cancelled at the last minute. Rather than not perform the song, Ricky Wilson, who was performing with the Kaiser Chiefs the next day, stepped in at the last minute. Ronson and Wilson performed the song again on the last Friday Night with Jonathan Ross of 2007, which also featured Candie Payne. Singer Daniel Merriweather, who appears on Mark Ronson's first single "Stop Me" (and appears in the accompanying video), also has a cameo in this video.
