Hey. You remember Jay Z’s classic track, D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)? Yes? No, probably not. Anyway, I’ve given the lyrics (available to view online on Genius) an abridged, dweeby retune on the subject of my favourite item of clothing, which has unjustly not been seen on the high street for quite some time.
