It is a hit I guess (don't follow the charts these days, but I hear it often). Lily Allen, nice gentle tune, poppy and then suddenly it turns nasty if you listen to the lyrics. I couldn't find the original clip, but I like this piece of homework by some fans.
If you want the lyrics, better watch this version: YouTube. Though I'm still wandering what 'medevil' is? ;-)
Lesser known is that the idea is not original. Dutch artist Wim de Bie already did this song on the piano decades ago.
I'm afraid it is not as funny if you do not know any Dutch. The song is funny, but the real irony is in the subtitles, where the lyrics are translated into Dutch. Instead of a proper translation, it seems a completely innocent song if you don't understand English and just read the words.
