Here's actor Idris Elba--known primarily for being The Wire's most scholarly drug dealer--belting out some decidedly British sh*t on The Milk's "Picking Up the Pieces." 

Although the Queen of the Barksdale Dynasty doesn't exactly wow us with wise words about supply-side economics (or 40 degree days), this stint admittedly could've been much worse. Also, if this was simply a plug to get people like us mad hyped for something we otherwise wouldnt've heard of or cared about, touche. 

Assuming you may not actually want to listen to the entire song, Elba's verse picks up around the 2:15 mark.
