Track Listing

CD Version 1

  1. Valerie
  2. April Foolzzz

The song Valerie was edited for radio play. The line "and the way you like to dress" was originaly "and the way you like to kiss". Radio bosses thought the original line was a little too homo erotic, as its main theme was the relationship between two prison inmates one of whom has escaped.

  2. I Will Be Your Pockets
  3. In The City
  4. Valerie (Video)

7" Version

Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse version

"Valerie"
Song

"Valerie" is the third single to be released from Mark Ronson's 2007 album Version. The track features vocals by critically-acclaimed English soul singer Amy Winehouse. This version of the track was originally done when Winehouse appeared on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge show on BBC Radio 1. The single will be released on 22 October 2007, the video shows a group of jazz musicians inviting a woman from the audience onto their stage to "sing" the song, followed by (presumably) the woman's friends, in the style of group karaoke - although the women "sing" with Winehouse's voice.
