GWEN STEFANI - STEFANI IGNORES WIND IT UP CRITICISM

GWEN STEFANI insists she couldn't care less about criticism of her yodelling track WIND IT UP - because it's her favourite piece of work. The song garnered a negative response from some fans and critics because it sampled THE LONELY GOATHERD from Stefani's favourite movie, THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But she loves how different it is. The singer explains, "I knew some people wouldn't get it but I think I am enough down the line to not care. "The people that did get it are Sound Of Music fans and really got a lot of pleasure from it. "When PHARRELL (WILLIAMS) and I first wrote it, it didn't have the sample in it. Then I went to my first big New York L.A.M.B. fashion show and DJ JEREMY HEALY did a mash-up for me with it in. When I first heard it I nearly cried. "I still think it's brilliant and I stand by it. Why can't you do something weird for a while? These songs are all about having fun, silly records that are to be enjoyed and not taken too seriously."
