Cee-Lo's Redemption

Yesterday, I wrote about the awesomeness of "Fuck You" by Cee Lo Green.  This afternoon I was delighted to find that the staff at the Dallas Observer have mashed the song with worthy movie scenes. My favorite mash-up happens to be from the Shawshank Redemption :

Other "worthy" movies include Say Anything and Dirty Dancing, but nothing embodies the spirit of "Fuck You" than the Shawshank mash-up.  Specifically, the mash-up features the scene where Andy sneaks into an office to play some music over the PA system for his fellow inmates. Those few moments of bliss are important, even though he knows he'll end up in solitary confinement for the incident. However, instead of the Marriage of Figaro, the inmates get "Fuck You," a song that perhaps is better equipped to highlight the feelings of life-with-out-parole inmates.
