"walk right up to the microphone and name, all the things you love" for me, it's MORRISSEY, MORRISSEY, MORRISSEY!!!! He's so beautiful! I love the very 50's rock-a-billy guitar...he's such an amazing man, GOD he's sexy!!!
June 1991...before the Jay Leno era. Johnny Carson pretty much WAS the Tonight Show, although he was not the original host either. Moz definitely tore it up that evening!! Both Johnny and Bill Cosby were completely baffled, hahaha...
Oh my goodness, what a treat. This is the best thing I've seen in a week. I love how he stops singing at the end and just dances. Morrissey is my hero.
Oh, man! I remember this. Bill Cosby was on before Morrissey and nobody was paying any attention to him. Cosby kept on referring to Morrissey as if his name was pronounced "Marisey".
Best version I've seen of this.

I would venture to say that moz and his band were indulging in chemicals of some sort at this time.

I agree this is actually better live it is tad bit subdued on the album. not as hard hitting on the album, still good producing though.

Does ANYBODY have the Bill Cosby performance where he has to mention Morrissey in order to get any response from the crowd?
trealvin2 3 years ago
I never knew Morrissey appeared during Johnny's tenure. I love Johnny's "Morrissey had to leave, but we have Jerry Vale for ya" line.
And Morrissey is great. I was just playing this album today (the song is from Kill Uncle).

That is such an amazing performance. You NEVER heard the crowd sound like that in the Carson era. Never. Only for Morrissey.

Gotta love thin, dancing Boz in the background. :)
I wish I could find a copy of the entire episode somewhere.

A very convincing Moz impression at the end of the song.
Sing your life, and swing those hips!
