ella ella ella

I am probably the last person to have heard the Umbrella ella ella song by Rhianna, I heard it for the first time a few months ago. I clearly live under a rock.

I am now enjoying this cover version of it by some emo band I've not previously heard of, even though the first 20 seconds of the video are probably some of the most disturbing images ever committed to film. (worksafe, assuming your work are ok with emo boys in dresses being soaked by buckets of water.)

In other news, why am I so bloody contrary? When I have short hair, even though it suits me, all I can think about is having long hair and growing it. When it starts actually growing (it's just past my shoulder when I blow dry it straight) all I can think about is having it cut all short and cute. But if I do that, I'll wish it was long!

Bah.

This isn't the greatest issue I have with my life, of course, but when there are bigger things to worry about, hair is a good conduit for frustration.

I don't think I have ever heard the Umbrella song... I am aware of its existence cause people keep going "ella ella ella" but I don't think I've ever actually *heard* it...

(I've decided I now actually quite like Umbrella.)

I think I like the cover version more. I also found covers by the Plain White Ts and Patrick Wolf.

Aw, that's really adorable, in a very wrong way. I think Biffy Clyro have done it too, and Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) did a bit of it live once, although he has a good excuse, since it wa around the time his comic book series, the Umbrella Academy, came out.

I think Umbrella is the new Hit Me Baby One More Time.

The Klaxons have also covered it. They played it with her at the Brit Awards, I really liked it.

[emmelinemay.livejournal.com]

I'll bet Klaxons did it brilliantly!!

It was rather cool, although I don't think it was live. That may have been because they were in a pyramid made of lasers though. Or maybe she just can't sing live...

Ooh, found it:

I don't think I've heard the Umbrella song, either. Maybe I live under a bigger rock than you?

Hmmmm pondering about hair, don't think I've ever done that ;)

I just keep thinking how good a crazy pixie cut would look, all long at the front and spikey and layered at the back, but still long enough to put into teeny pigtails...

and then thinking how once I'd got it, I'd wish it was long, and regret cutting it.

*sigh*

It is actually a very good cover
The emo boys in dresses part is really disturbing though
I do love how the drummer breaks out his flat iron in the middle of singing though


I have the same issue with my hair. I recently cut it very short and now all I want is for it to be long again :[
