The song F*ck me Pump from the album Frank (2003) talk about the stereotypical "gold-digging" girls (money-hungry women looking for security and love) . The term "f*ck-me pumps" is a slang expression for sexy women's shoes, particularly those featuring bare heels.
The video shows Amy walking for the street using "Pumps" with a microphone in her hand. Is also two girls discussing front a discotheque. On the video we can see women suffering hungry and cold looking for love and security and Amy explain this with irony. This song it's one of her few songs about stereotypes and not about love.
