NSFW, but awesome.
For the uninitiated, Amanda Palmer is something of an indie darling; she first came on the scene in the mid-aughts as one half of Dresden Dolls. Palmer explains why she wrote this song in the video, but the executive summary is that British shitrag tabloid Daily Mail wrote a sensational piece about Palmer’s boob appearing during her performance at the Glastonbury Festival. Nudity is almost de rigueur at a Palmer event, so the Daily Mail’s coverage of it seemed ludicrous. Palmer responded with this.

(Updated with better quality video, hat tip to reader def4)
Didn’t she ask for someone with a good camera at the start? Why didn’t they post the video, instead of this jittery blown-out crap?
Anyway, funny lyrics. And sadly true.

Excellent song.
I’ve updated the article with the version def4 linked to. Much better.
Nice one.
