The band formed in Liverpool, England in 2001, taking their name from Magic Band guitarist Bill Harkleroad, better known as Zoot Horn (or "Zuton") Rollo. With all the members being Liverpudlian, this led to comparisions with The Coral, especially as both bands were signed to the same record label - Deltasonic - and had the same producer - Ian Broudie. Their debut album - Who Killed The Zutons? - was released on October 18th 2004, and reached number 9 in the UK album chart.
Line up
David McCabe on lead vocals and guitar Abi Harding on saxophone and vocals
Sean Payne on drums, percussion and vocals
Russell Pritchard on bass guitar and vocals

The Zutons 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 through my head I make a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss 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 color of your hair
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine
You were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why wont you come on over
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
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
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I miss 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

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.

@Will Kendoka I agree.
Will Kendoka
yes my friend...I love Amy...but to be honest this the best version IMO.

@PtolemyJones And everyone knows Soft Cell did "Tainted Love" but not many know Gloria Jones was the original.

Thanks for sharing the facts 👍
I'm gonna check out "hurt" - nine-inch nails... I thought John Cash wrote it originally

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.

@zackhanscom shut up

This isn't just a version. It's the original.

@Ren That's disappointing. For me, this might not be fair mind you, but for me it's more surprising (and somehow more offensive, IDK...) when a woman shows her homophobic arse in a discussion...a WTF comment. That's just me. Women have spoiled me to think they are less capable of such bungholery.
