Lyrics:
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?
Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?

I really, really like the original. The Zutons were rocking then and are still rocking with Amy. Respect from this Jamaican/Canadian.
The Zutons: ValeRIIIiiie
Amy Winehouse: ValaRAAAA-a-AAAAY
😄😄😄😄😄
:D...thank you for my big smile in the morning
😂🤣🤣🤣
Lol she's saying it in cursive obviously :)))
@@williamawesomeness7200 😂😂😂😂
The Zutons also use ‘me’ while she uses ‘may’ so at least they both rhyme 😂
First time hearing the original and wow!! Hats off to the Zutons.
Mark Ronson did a cover of this too with Amy Winehouse on vocal duties, you should check that one out, it's decent!
It's still my first go-to for this song.
Im still convinced 'Valerie' is a much older, classic soul song by some obscure 60's artist that never got credit.
😊 I thought so for years and am shocked to find out today that this is a song from 2006!
I thought the same and have searched for a 60s version for years! 😂
There is actually a 60s band called Jackie & the Starlites who have a song called Valerie, but it is not the same as this song.
For me this song sounds like Don’t Let Me Down combined with Hey Jude
At the beginning of Amy's Glastonbury 2007 concert she calls The Zutons one of her favorite bands and credits them. If there was no rivalry between them and she was classy enough to praise them, why are so many comments concerned with not only expressing their favorite, but so often find it necessary to put the other down. Amy is arguably one of the best female singers and greatest performers and she calls them one of favorite bands.
Everyone should calm down. What's the difference which version is "better"?
This is I would always love you all over again but you are right both are good 👍🏾
Amy is my favorite female singing artist of all time! The Zultons did a great job with the rendition of Valerie! Music should be shared and love by all, even for those of us that can't carry a tune!
@@johnnyobigcatdaddy The Zutons wrote this song, this record is a full year before Ronson/Winehouse covered it. It would be more correct to say Winehouse did a great job with the rendition of Valerie, since hers is the cover. I love both versions!
'Was''.
well, of course. who covers a band they don't like?
How can you tell that a song is great? Many different artists do it in different ways and it sounds just as awesome as the original.
This is the original, Amy Winehouse covered it.
And this original version is still the very best. Thank you Zutons!!!!!!
If you haven't already heard 17 Year old Angelina Jordan cover this song...... take a minute and check it out!!
@@averteddisasterbarely2339
If you haven’t heard Amber Taylor cover this you won’t ever know how they make silk purses out of sow’s ears.
These dudes wrote a modern standard and no one gives them credit for it
I shout it from the rooftops. This band is phenomenal.
They got PAID, PAID, PAID!! So, that probably eases the pain.
word
I'm sure their bank account doesn't care.
Yo you excited for the new album?
I get goosebumps thinking about it. No lie I am not joking I cannot wait. Their new single hit the marks. I think they still got it as a 3 piece with studio musicians
McCabe did say Amy Winehouse covering his song was his biggest compliment ever. Much love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼!!!.
This version and
Amy's version are completely different. This one is more rock while Amy's was more soul. Therefore it's clearly logical for people to like one over the other since everyone had a preferred genre. I thnk both are really great in different ways.
How does it feel being smarter than 95% of the bickering RUclips commenters?
I like both versions!
that was (as we know it) Amy's favourite song... this is a really cool version and I thank them for make Amy able to create one of the best masterpiecies the music history will ever know...
***** I'd hate to call you out, but Steve winwood never recorded this song. The Valerie that he recorded has been sampled by Eric prydz but I have never heard a cover.
***** how would you say winehouse's sucks "musically"? do you mean from a technical side? Or are you saying it sucks based on your taste?
This song was a big hit in the UK and Amy loved it too, made a cover and made everyone who loved this song love her more in the process.
❤️
Absolutely. I prefer this one but I'm not offended by Amy's version. No one goes around moaning the Whitney's I will always love you is a cover are they?
Don’t worry. Nobody likes the British.
@@ApotropaicV The Germans do.
She made her own career based on this song the bitch need to give credit lol
The slow tempo is actually one of my favorite parts because of how it feels "Heavy" in a sense, giving it a unique sound.
Nice
Yep. Great w/ the horns!
No man I have to listen in 1.25x atleast
@@floppy_hands1770that's your problem
tbh I don't have a problem with the Amys version but I do think it's sad that when I searched "Valerie" the Zutons didn't even come up. I mean really, this is the original version.
Harry Greaves but the same goes for most covers that have surpassed the popularity of the original song, for instance when you search “hurt” you almost never see nine inch nails, but Johnny cash instead, “I will always love you” shows Whitney Houston not the original Dolly Parton, make you feel my love never pops up as bob Dylan but you see Adele .. just the way it works
I suspect if you search Respect, Otis won't pop up...
Harry Greaves probably cause Amy’s version was 14067391039546282910x better. DUH
@@andrewcarrillo4814 LOL not at all
@@rileysummers484 You forgot 'Proud Mary', which everyone associates with Tina and Ike Turner rather than Credence Clearwater Revival.
I always feel so musically ignorant when I listen to a song a lot never knowing that it was a cover
Ikr
+dat_1_kid In my opinion the version of amy is better
+dat_1_kid Unless Amy Winehouse was a lesbian, I very doubt she would be singing about a woman
+T_bus It's been said that she was bi sexual.
Caroline Simmons I'm just going to blow myself up now
Had a lovely afternoon with Dave this afternoon, a few bevvys, a few laughs and total admiration for an under loved, under appreciated musician of the highest order. The guy is a cosmic dude and a pleasure knowing him all these years.
Can't stop singing it Zuton are the best
and they're back too! ruclips.net/video/6wSKa7iLRcs/видео.html
First time listening to the original…wow! What a treat!!! Absolutely fantastic!
Was fun to discover that my Friend Valerie was the inspiration for this Song!!!
I would imagine The Zutons favourite version would be Amy’s. Imagine the royalties they’ve earned off of her version
Probably almost nothing. This is awesome.
@@ApotropaicV Did you come over
@@MikeyJMJ L🙂L well I wonder if Valarie made it over also 11-1-2021
Its not her version its her cover
@@Josh_J9 that has to be the single most pedantic sentence I’ve ever read
Love this song, but the music video is really great! Some of the shots are really cinematic...
I really like both versions! Amy twist on the original fits her style so well but I can see why she was inspired to cover it in the first place. It is a really lovely song :)
Liverpool ❤
Some great music has come out of Liverpool well some of the best tbh great city with a fantastic music vibe. Great song
Thanks Mark Fisher for bringing me here.
The way the song is written is straight out of the 50's
first time listening to the original and i love it!! love the amy winehouse remake too, but they're so different i don't see the point in comparing them. she loved this song for a reason! i love the calmer vibes and the sound.
The first rational comment on this video! Tai tally agree with you
Michelle Herrera I feel the same about The White Stripes- Fell in love with a boy and Joss Stone's cover of it.... Both equally great songs....
+Michelle Herrera It would be like comparing Toots & The Maytal's Monkey Man to Amys... or the Clash's.... or Reel Big Fish's.
Original is the slowest,
Amy's is the most upbeat,
RBF is the fastest/hardest,
Clash's is the grimiest (i think its produced at a lower quality but it gives it a distinct 'live' sound)
I'll have my own favourite of the different ones, but would never say one is 'better' than the other.
I had listened to the Amy version a LOT over the past couple years, this is the first time I actually looked for the original.. and I'm surprised at how much I do like it despite it sounding SOOO different. Still probably prefer the Amy version, but that's just blatant homer-ism on my part... this version is still pretty kick ass!
+Michelle Herrera I like to see these two versions as if they were in two different settings.
The Zutons original = downtown modern day London
Amy Winehouse's cover = a club in a city somewhere in Jazz Age USA.
Michelle Herrera f
Another great Liverpool group.
yes!!!
way better than that one group... i think they’re called the bubbles
really? never knew they were from Liverpool and I've been living here almost 16 yrs haha!
Valerie has been my favorite song for years and I’m just not finding out it was a cover. I feel so ignorant. It’s so good too 😍
It was covered by Amy and Mark Ronson.
Same lol
Young Angelina Jordan has been covering Valerie. Check her voice out.
I feel so bad I didn't know this was the original... they deserve so much more.
Not only is this my favourite version, its objectively very good and should get much more credit!
This is the best version, in my humble Valerie opinion.
Amazing song and better bps. I’m glad that I looked up the original. Wonder if even they wrote it.
I’m in love with whoever wrote this.
Thank you for the interesting reputation. ☺️
A trillion times better than Amy's version, no hate and loved Amy ,but this is the true original and best.....
👊😎
I completely agree
Original always best for me
I thought Amy's the original version. Lola Amour (band) made a cover of this song too, their cover brought me here.
Just love this song. "... and I've missed your ginger hair, and the way you like to dress". Lovely!
love the song
Great song ! There are other great versions but they wrote it !!
Shout out to Valerie Star and her early 2000’s criminal antics for inspiring this iconic song
I like knowing this dude wrote the lyrics as they are the best part of the song
One song, two singers, two different styles. This and Amy's version are WAY different. If you like one more than the other It only depends on the kind of music you prefer
I am so sad that this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this song. I only knew of Amy’s version which I had on replay all the time since it’s one of my favorite songs but to now realize this is the original 🤯 I love both now
I remember this one first time round!
Admirável Amy ❤❤
Really appreciate how different the two versions are. Normally when someone covers a song, they barely change it.
2024 anyone?
Yes! And I’m embarrassed to say as a fan of the Amy Winehouse cover, that this is the first time I’ve heard the original version- both are smashing!
Yup 🎶🎵
They are going on tour!
Yep it is and it’s turning into a good year…. Hahaaa. !!!!
This version is groovy. Without one there is no other.
I really loved their first two albums. It’s a shame they didn’t get more play in North America. And the sax in so many songs is only a plus!
Great lyrics .hats off to zutons. It touches my heart every time I listen to this song
I love both versions, but this one, the original, its my favourite one!
Brilliant and so soulful. What great talent. Real music in an age of manicured drap pop. Great band.
I love both versions!
I was wondering if Valerie was a cover. I actually thought it prob was a cover of a 60s soul group. But had no clue this was the original. I really like it! Love Amy’s version too!
Just found out that this was the original version so I wanted to hear it
The superior version
Backing vocals in the chorus makes me shiver 💙
I've been seeing an Alexa add and kept thinking "I know this song, but why?" FINALLY clicked last night as I was falling asleep.... IT'S THE ZUTONS!!
Unlike my peers, I remember this original version first time round.
My life in 2006: no pandemic, economy booming, great music like this, hope for the future.
My life in 2022: multiple diseases running rampant, recession fears, war in Ukraine threatening food security to the rest of Europe, trap galore, recurring depressive episodes.
I still think this is a brilliant song....both versions are equally as good yet so different...
That distortion in the chorus is sweet
This original version is amazing, it has more power and variation in a lot of parts of the song.
Did you just say this Beach boys sounding version had more power than Amy's he literally doesn't extend or push any notes. Ever. Put the pipe down.
When speaking of Power Pop then "power" doesn't always mean crunch. It's in the arrangement -- horns and percussion in this case.
This is soul music all the way down to floor and back up again. Where's that whiskey bottle? Daddy needs a shot😁
❤❤❤❤Just Loved this video. Thank you 💕💕 blessings Puerto Rico 🎉
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷!!!.
Lovely song!
Amazing
OMG ZANE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE I’M SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOU AND YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC THAT I LISTEN TO OMG OMG OMG
Such an underrated band.
This song is goated for all of existence!
Amy made 2 versions of this song. One with Mark Ronson and one slower. The slower one's video makes me sad because she looks like she needs a fix. But it is beautiful too. So now I get to play all three on the jukebox and drive the people who think it was not a cover crazy! hahaha! I knew it was a cover but never heard the original. Love all three!
First time hearing the original. I LOVE IT!! Liked the video too.
What an incredible song!! The Zutons nailed it and Amy whinehouse did okay too!!
Amazing. This original is the best by far xxx
I love Amy Winehouse's Valerie cover, but I am so glad I discovered The Zutons, this is beautiful. Great song!
Original all the way!
Zuton rule!
So glad to hear this original! Both versions are great. At least I can catch up to hear the lyrics with this version! And when singing I have a chance to breathe! Great song well written!!!!
Zuton’s all day. Ronson’s version was created for the lame London scene bitd. This is full of soul.
Loved the zutons since i can remember!!
Yes! Love both versions!
Me too!
So beautiful. So many feelings about this song
I knew, years ago, that Amy Winehouse was not the first person to record this song. But I couldn't remember who was or find the original version. Glad to see this pops up in search results now!
This is my favourite version.
Can't get any better than the original version. What a song.
This was always be the definitve version of this song for me
Underrated song.
My name is Valerie and I love this song
why won't you come on over, Valerie ? ;)
Me too
😆
Totally awesome song and band!
The one and only
Absolutely the best
AMO ESSA MÚSICA!
Why do people have to compare the 2 versions and state that one is better than the other? Both are fucking awesome!!! Leave it at that ffs.
***** Agreed.
*****Yes, both are good. I do prefer the way the music is arranged for one more than the other, though.
***** There is if you use it to start a slanging match with people about it. Pointless!
***** People are morons. No point in wasting your energy commenting on this moronic wasteland that is the RUclips comments section. Keep to yourself and enjoy the song.
Viraj Deshpande The moronic wasteland that is the youtube comments section accounts for fully 1/3 of youtube's entertainment value. By posting your opinion about people posting their opinions you have contributed to this rich melange. Perhaps one day another numpty like you and me will post his opinion about my opinion of your opinion on what people should do with their opinions... and so we are all connected by the great circle of bullshit.
I heard the Winehouse version first and it's one of my favorite songs of all time. This original version is great too. It needs more recognition.
Original always has passion; written from the heart
Excelente melodía !!
Really do love the Amy Winehouse version but I still feel like the original is so unappreciated
Love this!!!!
First I heard of this song was when a high school girl did it at the school talent show. She killed it and as soon as it was over I looked it up. Hearing her do it, I thought for sure it was going to be an Elvis Costello song, and I do think it has some of that to it.
love this original song
You know, I think I'm starting to like this band!
Shame they don't play anymore. Not for many years
Original and best
I like this version, original, the best.
idk y but this song brings me tears
Amo essa música ❤
Scousers are truly amazing people , the very best kind !!!!
I always preferred this version 😊
just wanna take a moment to thank the zutons for creating my favourite song by amy winehouse 🙌🏾 legends
I love zutons
The original and best version of this song.
Dermot I have seen you perform in biggest venues. For a complete, hardcore Dermot Kennedy fan. This is the BEST POSSIBLE GIG I've EVER heard you play ❤❤❤❤🎉💜💙🧡❤️. Truly!! To hear all my favourites in the earliest days was AMAZING. You have stayed true to your songs to this time, however many arrangements, the soul in the sound of your voice remains. Bless you
2020 loving the zutons
