Amy Winehouse 'A Tough Question For Cambridge Students'

Lyrics to a song by Amy Winehouse have been used as part of an English exam at Cambridge University.

Students were asked to compare the lyrics to Winehouse’s ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ with lyrics by Billie Holliday, Bob Dylan and Sir Walter Raleigh as part of their final-year exam.

The Cambridge Student, a student newspaper, said that people were “surprised” to find Winehouse’s song lyrics on the paper.

However, a spokesperson told the BBC that the university had always used artists from different eras and that the question was “interesting, but not news”.

Last week, Winehouse was awarded an Ivor Novello award for the same song, which was co-written with her producer Mark Ronson.

Widely regarded lyrically as one of her best songs, it was released as a single in 2007.
