Behold Cee-Lo's "Fuck You" video, the proper, official one.

Alright, so we were perfectly content with the minimalism of the video that introduced us to this undeniably charming and defiantly profane track from Cee-Lo Green. Got the point across rather eloquently and succinctly, we thought. And well, if it ain't broke, don't, uh ... how to put this? .....

Alright, so we were perfectly content with the minimalism of the video that introduced us to this undeniably charming and defiantly profane track from Cee-Lo Green. Got the point across rather eloquently and succinctly, we thought. And well, if it ain't broke, don't, uh ... how to put this? ... oh yeah! Don't fuck with it. Suffice to say, our expectations were admittedly low for the proper video that was slated to follow. Turns out, Mr. Green exceeded our expectations, as only he can. We still dig the old one (after the jump), though. What do you think? Have a look.
