Cee-lo’s upcoming single ‘Fuck You’ has become a viral hit, getting over two million views online.
A rough-cut of the Gnarls Barkley singer’s latest track was leaked onto Youtube with the expletive-ridden text displayed on screen. The viral hit song attacks a gold-digging ex who now has a new man, and as the title suggests, Cee-Lo isn’t exactly happy for her.
Within 48 hours of being uploaded, the video had one million views and is now the most viewed video in Ireland and the UK this week – an impressive feat given that this week also marks the first week of hit show The X Factor. Internationally the video has also hit Youtube’s most viewed chart in almost every major territory including Germany, France, Sweden, the Netherlands and South Africa.

A suitable-for-radio version called ‘Forget You’ has been released for radio play (but let’s face it, that’s a bit less fun.) ‘Fuck You’ will be released along with the edited version ‘FU’ on October 1, and until then, maybe avoid singing this catchy tune to yourself in public – you could land yourself in a bit of trouble.
