RARE!!!

[thesmithsmad]

i know it wasnt this song but the hearing aid and the national health glasses on totp was just genius

[hanspeterpitsch]

@thesmithsmad What's with the glasses? I don't get it :/

[646TB]

This MUSIC is timeless and relevant for anyone just discovery these CLASSIC gems which I grow-up to living in the Bronx in New York City in the mid 1980s. I discovered it with GOOD friends (some gone but some remain). I know they will NEVER play live again with all the tainted BAD BLOOD between them but for a TIME capsule in so many hearts, They will forever keep on ROCKING!!!!

Hey_í_fêÉl_sö_lônélY_tódÅY

[rockonwalrusbaby]

@BabiiaaAndrewaa282 no

[vlopresto]

Love the song, love the dance, love Morrissey. But could I be wrong - it looks like he might be lip syncing?

[WillW4]

@vlopresto yeah he is definitely lip syncing, but this was recorded for the BBC's 'Top of the Pops' where lip syncing was standard for much of the programs history especially from this era. i think its cool that Morrissey wasnt even bothering to pretend with a microphone. the rest of the band probably aren't playing live either, but i'm not sure on that one

[vlopresto]

@WillW4 Thanks for the background. Yes it's cool that he's not even pretending. That seems so Morrissey!

[aviadmei]

The band of my miserable life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baufuckinghaus]

Isn't anyone going to mention how absolutely divine morrissey looks? Gah, I love the smiths.

[zweiosterei]

'I tried living in the real world

Instead of a shell'

[owenhunt]

@Nocturnal007 Oh god, you the bequeather of this video realise it's genre? I think I love you. Deepest apologies.

[tncl85]

Morrissey is the prime example of "the white boy dance" lol. Fantastic song. Love The Smiths! How cute is Andy constantly smiling!!

[TheHotcarlton]

love the double denim

[chinchill3r]

this solo is the most cheesy but awesome thing ever :)

[Huckleberrygrove]

Only an ego that big could get away with that!

[spoonfuloffructose]

Oh man that was AWESOME!

His dancing was REAALLY GROOVY!

[clizzleable]

Nice moves Moz

[HansBooBee]

To see where Morrissey stole this dance, go up to SEARCH and type in: Rick Rude!

[gemmabiner]

haa i love the smiths but morriseys so gay

[simonesmiths]

beautiful.

[Bombdiggity207]

I love his dance, at first it wierded me out, then I got the hang out it. only he could pull that oof

[samosas95]

Mmm,, i could just eat himmmm:')

[Andreah2080]

@samosas95 now thts just weird.... o.o

[HansBooBee]

I dont quite know wut to make of that little dance he's doing

[Andreah2080]

@HansBooBee it would be called epic failure

[GrobycStrongArm]

hand it over hand it over hand it over

[angelskinn]

I imagine those guys that filmed Elvis from the waist up.. are rolling over in their suggestive-free graves at this one. Love ya Morrissey!

[misscalories]

could have done without the interpretive dancing, but i still love me some of The Smiths

[CarolinaContreras90]

Ay!.. esos movimientos Morrissey!!!!!!!!!!.

[mazely]

Muito bom!!!

"I would go out tonight, but I haven't got A STITCH to wear"! -

The soundtrack of our lives, worldwide.

[sweeetxfire]

Morrissey, our own private dancer!

[Sstirr]

Nice hip movements.. AHAHA! ;D

[thedogspollocks]

Only Morrissey could dance that crap, and still look that good

[MrJFlashify]

@thedogspollocks I agree haha, if he was a girl he would look like a slut

[MandaOwl]

@thedogspollocks No one else can dance like a windmill and still make it look sexy...

[Criszzilla]

@MandaOwl Lol

[FlamingFairy]

Moz was so pretty, back in the day

[HangTheDJ16]

I love the way The Mozfather used to just take the piss on Top of the Pops..

[morrisseyisme]

aww bless Morrissey ... <3

[LondonNewyork1]

A few weeks ago I was in a shop, and they played this song. Not a wise move, you can guess what happened next! Awsome song though!

[sinbin55671]

Bring back the 80's

[charly9927]

amazing!

[billyjoeboomboom]

This song just gets better and better every time I listen to it.

[onlycasual1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA­HAH

great song

[walrus51976]

Morrisey seems to have lost his hullahop.

[tainacaro]

Ótimo vídeo!

[empresseden]

I don't understand the dance related comments. Are you new to the Smiths? The "shuffle" is Morrissey's trademark! This is a variation of the only image one should have of The Smiths...

[rzrbckgrl]

the issues isnt whether or not we are 'new' to the Smiths. As if there is some entitlement. he he he

THE SMITHS ARE GREAT. The issue is the so called 'shuffle' looks gay.

[bbagsies]

whats with his dancing?!?!?! lol whatever doesnt even matter because the smiths rule the world!!!! lol

[EllyMcCormack]

He's still a sexy bastard though...

[EllyMcCormack]

hahaha this is HILARIOUS

But, I guess that's what happens when their asked to mime.

[Lunarlush]

Sweet jacket M!

[uhliuhli]

the smiths are great but why does this guy have to sake his ass when he sings? it disrupts my image of the smiths.

[tsirlipipihoho]

hahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frenchielcfc]

the smiths are fucking amazing. i ony realy heard about them a year ago ive got al there albums now and have a different favorite song of theres every day, every song has amazing yrics that actualy mean something and have wicked guitar too. best band ever

[carneycustardos]

i want the tee he's wearign so so badly

[AJPLJSS]

yes so do I,

never seen one in a shop though, im thinking youd have to get it of internet or somthing

[booster330]

morrissey claims this is his fave smiths song.

and maybe their most 80s sounding

[MitchGambino]

"sham" rhymes with "began" more than "shell" does.

[leumasselwonk]

Its shell

[Floorwarm]

Yes, but sham doesn't have the letter e, l and err another l, as when Moz sings "Shell"

[MitchGambino]

Is the lyric really "instead of a shell"? I always thought it was "sham".

[slashsbestfan]

this guy sucks listen to real music people not rap though rap is even lower than this but still this is just gayyyyyy!!!

[optimumvalue9]

LOL Axel Rose in cycling shorts!!! what do you know!!!??

[bigbrownheapof]

and you are so toughly hetero, i guess? congratulation, asshole

[MorbidCorpse92]

you're a jumped up pantry boy.

[idratherlistentobowi]

intellegent lyrics, and beautifully complex guitar playing, what's so bad about it?

[NoRosesForMe]

Id have his baby. Crazy 'bout that fella.

Smiths mean so much! TX for this! One of their best songs too.....i used to be a shoplifter hee hee!

[dearmissrockstar]

oh man. strip morrissey!!! strip!!! lol. Sexy voice, gorgeous looks, and great music. I could not be more aroused.

[Shimmer009]

Omg, Moz has mad dance skills lol xDD <3 all the smiths music

[Harno3]

Fantastic...!

[AdArmand]

Winona Ryder deserves a Gloria Swanson type comeback. Orchestrate it, Moz!

[Biopharmer]

Does anybody know which smiths or morrissey video had him going into some mansion? And there was like a creepy guy sitting on a tombstone?

[suparni]

you are probably thinking of the video Oujia Board by MORRISSEY

[Biopharmer]

Yes that was it, thank you

[EJ25RUN]

[andyyabam]

[doesnthurt2try]

[1987BESTYEAR]

Great classic from 1987! Thanks for posting!

[insanityrulestheday]

Excellent song by Moz as usual, but it should be renamed "Lunatics of the world, Unite and take over". oops, too late they already have, and their based at that infamous INSANE ASYLUM called Westminster. :-)

[donstar117]

That dancing is immense

[wazman94]

lol

[bargainmom]

Adore him so much!

[whirlpoolzend]

[QueenEndorphin]
