“Valerie” is a song by the English indie rock band The Zutons off the band’s second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around (2006). Released as the album’s second single on 19 June 2006 in the United Kingdom, along with their previous single “Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love?”, it gave The Zutons their joint-biggest single to date as well as their second UK Top 10 single, climbing from Number 41 (via download sales alone the day before physical release) to its peak at Number 9 in the UK Singles Chart. The music video was directed by Scott Lyon.

The song was used by ITV during their coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, alongside Kasabian’s cover of David Bowie’s 1977 song “Heroes” and Primal Scream’s 2006 song “Country Girl”.

Ronson's album was called 'Version' as in cover version. This song was written by the zutons and intended as it can be heard here. Stop judging it against Winehouse because without Dave McCabe and the Zutons it would not even exist. Many songs are better when covered but you should always acknowlede those who created it in the first place

I'm glad to see so many other people that agree this is much better than that Amy Winehouse version.. the drugs are stopping her writing any of her own songs it would seem.
