  • This is the crappiest version of all!!!!

  • Love it, always have probaly one of the best covers ever!!!

  • They had the record in Darlington, UK. I bought it then. The town was full of football casual twats. Anyway, I bought it. I still have it. Defiance against the twats. This version only makes the song better. Heart and fucking soul. And I truly mean that.

  • OK so i got the spelling on Merriweather wrong !!! Sue me.

  • Not my kind of music (USUALLY) love this though!!! D Merryweather's vocal is top notch. Tremendous track.

  • love this

  • i d prefer lenny kravitz's vocals on this one..

  • kickass song!!....ijust keep listening to it!!

  • brill song and video!!!...keep watching this one!

  • better than the smiths love you Daniel:X

  • painful, so painful. killing the smiths one shitty cover at a time.

  • @bryonyheartsseals I prefer this version tbh

  • @bryonyheartsseals don't fucking listen then.

  • I listened this song watching a chapter of Nip/Tuck :D

  • @Volcom4ever96 me too!!!!

  • this version is more emotional imo.

  • I much prefer this version to the smiths

  • @dozeybugger And basically i'm gonna get aload of crap of smiths fans because it boils down to this makes the smiths more maintream and that makes them less special for listening to them

  • christ!! u could fit cock and balls in that mouth pmsl :0D

  • Swap "stop me" with "fuck me", it's hilarious hahahaha!

  • This song is why Amy Winehouse died......

  • i come here because b-boy neguin

  • I can't stop listening to this song since I heard it on the Inbetweeners. :D <3

  • *shivers* Love it! =)

  • luv this song :)

  • "Would you like to flag this video as inappropriate?"

    Yes, because Mark Ronson has just made a classic Smiths song into a cheap, generic and tasteless pop song.

    I'm all for bringing The Smiths into the public domain again but not with this tacky crap.

    As much as I admire Mark Ronson... this disappoints me :(

  • Mark Ronson made a mark with this one

  • I LOVE YOU MARK RONSON! You are sooooooooooooo hot xx

  • nie wiem co wy tu piszcie po angielsku, ale lubię tą piosenkę ! :D.

  • I don't really have an opinion on the Smiths, but I do adore the Supremes, and this is a cracking cover of both of them. 'Nuff said.

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS !? IT'S A PATHETIC COVER OF A GREAT SONG AND HOW THIS HAS MORE VIEWS THAN THE ORIGINAL IS COMPLETE MADNESS... (Or we're in Sparta)

  • I think both versions are great, but this video has horrible distortion at 55 seconds into it. Which is embarrassing for an official channel.

  • best version made by mackan & isak strand!

  • fuck jesus why can't nobody hear that the smiths' version is just not as good as this one. its so fucking clear

  • @thatunit995 You are a dirty dirty dirty dirty, filthy troll.

  • Maybe in the minority with this but I prefer this version rather than than the original Smiths version. Kudos to them for writing it though.

  • @mrlittle77 You are also a dirty troll.

  • Ugghhh

  • Mark Ronson is such a cunt for doing this. Adding trumpets to a song doesn't improve it.

  • @Akidcalledgrim yes it does lol

  • I don't care what other people say. I absolutely love this song and I hate the smiths version.

  • @AwesomeComputerGuy minecraft, go figure.

  • @AwesomeComputerGuy The Smiths don't have a version.

  • @ChanelBankierPerry watch?v=btOyj3qM_Dk

  • Ronson should be stopped before he ruins anything else.

  • 363 idiots are listening to Justin Bieber.

  • i absolutely love the smiths and this is probably my favourite smiths song, but i would also say that this is one of my favourite covers

  • If Morrissey were dead, he would be turning in his grave.

  • @TSbcfc1 belter :) made me laugh so much

  • oh, who said i lied,

    because i river! I river! 0_o

  • 362 people can't be stopped

  • poor quality sound from this! need a 420p version or something its distorting a bitch

  • 362 personas no saben de musica la letra es simplemente hermosa expresa todo lo que siento hoy y siempre sentire

  • See Mark Ronson + Business Intl with all the special guests on 27th July @ the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich...greenwichsummerses­sions.co.uk BOOK NOW tickets selling fast

    

  • daniel looks hot in this!

  • such a perfect song. the instrumental and that voice are amazing! Daniel is very good singer and he's also nice :)

  • i loveeeee the smiths and mark ronson, tough to decide which i like more :/

  • I thought the whole thing- the song, video theme, vocals...everything was awesome. I started liking Mr. Merriweather after this vid came out..

  • I like how they fit a second cover in this song."You just keep me hanging on" by The Supremes.

  • Mark Ronson + Business Intl play Greenwich Summer Sessions 27th July @ ORNC stunning outdoor venue....greenwichsummersessio­ns.co.uk....it's going to be BIG

  • hope never to hear this again :-( he just killed a great song bleh

  • Have to admit I heard this one first. And I was mad about the song <3 Heard the original later, and liked it too.

    The Smiths are one of the best bands ever. But this cover is decent. Ronson did a great job. :'D

  • this would have killed one of the smiths best ever songs, if morrisey wasnt an immortal legend

  • he looked like justin bieber. huh.

  • Sounds just like Kim Wilde's "you keep me hangin' on"

    still really good song :)

  • as a smiths fan, this really pisses me off. But at least popstars and rappers still appreciate good music.

  • like if you still hear this in 2011:)

  • nice, but plan b kills it!!!

  • @LucyStar7

    Too bad, you're wrong. He's Daniel Merriweather, girl.

  • @Gingereed i'm talking about the cover plan b did of this, stupid!!! how about you leave people who just enjoy the music alone with your smartass comment...

  • @LucyStar7 Stupid ? Really, you need to calm down like all of the nervous people on Youtube. I don't know who is stupid to comment like that now.

  • @LucyStar7 By the way, you're right. Plan B kills it.

  • kommataraaaa,k poli fwni o typos

  • i listen to this every once in awhile just so my soul can die

  • @jarvizcocker rooooooofl

  • original is better but still like this 1

  • Hey, I finally lived to see that my beloved Mark Ronson had so many visits, finally! I knew that song a long time and I will tell you that it was pretty damn bad. I love it in all her glory...

    Thank you.

  • very good version of the original daniel merriweather does its justice couldnt think of anyone else doin a better job than he did....

  • @Dmukka original is by The Smiths

  • i still love you

  • IMMA LET YOU FINISH BUT THIS IS, WAS AND ALWAYS BE A SMITHS SONG AND NO ONE WILL EVER DO IT AS MUCH JUSTICE!

  • @Dermo1985 borrrrrrrrrrrrring

  • I'm gonna stop you right there.

    I've heard this one before.. from The Smiths, and in all honesty i'd rather listen to that one.

  • Quality sucks

  • this never gets old. i always come back to this song <3

  • SMIIIIIIIIIIIITHS. do one Ronson. Noel Gallagher drunk on Chris Moyles: "He want's to write his own his own songs, instead of ruinin' everyone else's. He needs to pick up a guitar and strum a chord." i dont mind this version 2bf hahahahahahaha contradiction. yes i know

  • Another classic song ruined by some talentless dj pretending to be a musician!!

  • nobody can honestly say that the smiths version is as heartfelt as this one. if you listen to it u can tell they honestly dont give a crap. and covers are being done for artists everyday, why is it people get pissed when someone finds a different way of interpreting a song?

  • b o k gibi 

  • This song has much more SOUl than the one of the smits!!!!!!!!! YOu just don't get it :(

  • @HALLO4648 You're a tool and a moron.

  • @ChanelBankierPerry well, thanks pal' you're also quite nice xD we could discuss it all out right now but I just don't have the time for such bullshit >:D And I'm sure you would continue to insult me so...where's the point?

    I like this version more because I was born into the younger generation and my sense of music is quite different than the one of the old generation. Lets get to a solution...BOTH VERSIONS ARE GREAT!!!

  • @HALLO4648 If you are truly not trolling, then this is very sad. With regards to taste in music: There is good taste and bad taste. And many flavours in between, but they fall into either category. This song falls well into the bad taste category. If you can't see why, then I pity you.

  • @ChanelBankierPerry All right -.- but then I have to ask you...what EXACTLY is so bad about this song?

  • @HALLO4648 It's completely pretentious. The whole over dramatic singing thing is forced and really holds no emotion. It's trying to be something its not. Slowing a song down doesn't make it have more emotion. The singing in this is not genuine, and the singer does not know what he is singing about. This is the issue with covers of this nature. How can you sing lyrics you did not write yourself, convincingly? You can't.

  • @ChanelBankierPerry you CAN'T do it like the original... but you can try to interpret it...and it was very good interpreted. But come on! he sung it better than the front singer of the Smiths...more vibrato and the articulation was so much better...he's the better singer and that makes it automatically the better version. I like the way they added the instruments and his voice is a little bit smoky. It might be that you don't like it. But you can't say he didn't sing it with emotion...

  • @HALLO4648 Oh he sang it with emotion all right. He really forced it in there, key word being forced. But it wasn't the right emotion. And as for the singing, this version is far worse than Morrissey's. This fool can't even pronounce the lyrics properly yet the whole thing is so oversung. Like i mentioned before, it's completely pretentious.

  • @HALLO4648 BECAUSE you couldn't possibly feel the same way he did when he sung that song...every professional singer has respect of the song he covers and he knows that some poeple might not like it. Look, he just sung it in another way, it does only mean that it's not your taste of music...and now, ultimately, it doesn't mean that this version is worse...it was nice to discuss with you, but it won't lead to anything...because I have MY opinion and YOU YOUR's... Bye sir xD

  • It's mostly the cover of the smits' song, but the end 'set me free why dont you babe, you just keep me hangin on' part is sampled from Kim Wilde's You keep me hangin' on song. I realized it today.

  • i love you @iamMarkRonson!!

  • mark ronson i love you

  • fuck off ronson bring back the smiths

  • @Bossness123 Or woolworths!

  • Better compose your own mother F#c#@%!! Yours is a voice of a porno actor.

  • Ur a great DJ Ronson, but don't touch the Smiths!

  • Comment removed

  • wtf does "international" mean here? is us/uk/whateva version any diff?

  • @2222wish no, International is a group collectively with or without mark ronson. so this version is the International version, look up "the business international"

  • Comment removed

  • I'm so glad both versions of this song exist. They both have such a different feeling and yet are both sooo goooddd

  • guy singing has a girly mouth

  • @Gannondalf

    hot

  • @Gannondalf a lot of great singers do, notice?

  • @Gannondalf Whatever! His lips are hot, why do you think I watch this video so much? Mmmm kiss me Daniel!

  • @Gannondalf Small goaty beard! Who've you been kissing!!!

  • @Andyc1163 i guess i meant lips

    something about the colour lol

  • your all being a bit precious about the smiths arnt you ? smiths samples in rnb and hip hop keep the smiths alive for new generations to discover.. i think daniel is a great aussie export with a talented voice something he has in commen with morrisey,, come on , do you think morrisey would let the boys redo this if he wasnt cool wid ir ? and its a great homage.. they havent fucked with it too much..remember morrisey is outspoken and has the shits most the time, so i think they done good.

  • THE SMITHS RULEZ! FUCK YOU

  • What's with the singer and his anus mouth?

    The original by The Smiths is so much better.

  • What do you mean 'the singings off key and pitch is all wrong"? It's a Smiths song - how Morrissey sings it is how it's supposed to sound. This kind of crap makes me want to burn things.

  • This is pure piss. The gimp with the goatee doesn't help.

  • This is pure piss. The original was perfect. The gimp with the goatee doesn't help.

  • @CaptinMungbean heard the smiths version...boll***s, singings off key and pitch is all wrong, gave it a fair chance but not worth listening to if uve already heard this, only good thing about it was that its got a british video

  • @Ddunnit You're not familar with the Smiths or Morrissey's way of singing at all ,are you?

  • Y'know, I prefer the Smiths version... but this isn't sacrilege, it's a tribute. I don't much care for the video, but Ronson and Merriweather didn't rape the original... they adapted it so that the ignorant masses, accustomed only to the current Top 40 pop-radio cookie-cutter shite, might hear something of the Smiths and be intrigued enough to find something more about Morrissey and Marr. This song probably made MORE fans for The Smiths than any fanboy tirade.

  • Some prefer the original better,but I like & appreciate both versions

    I think its a good thing that an artist can revive the music of a band that is both under-rated &unknown by kids of an era of crap pop music

    Daniel is simply doing a cover to a song,with his "spin" or personality put into the song

    I prefer it when artists do covers with a sound thats true to themselves,NOT an attempt to sound exactly the same as the original.Or else don't bother doing a cover & leave the original alone

  • is a goos song, a very good one who dont apreciate it just dont listen it

  • What a poor video and a poor singer! :S

  • Still enjoy listening to this!! :)

  • What the fuck? This is awful. Why would someone do this to such a beautiful song?

  • Mark Ronson needs to be hung for not only ruining this but for being an annoying prick!

  • i love this song.its the best of mark ronson for surely.

  • The original is DEFINITELY way better, but I must say that Mark and Daniel made a pretty cool cover.

  • such a beautiful song.

  • i luv this song :)

    

  • sacrilicious

  • ...oh god. The original by the Smiths is classic and so meaningful...this is awful. Soulless garbage- if it ain't broken, don't 'fix' it, Mark Ronson and other garbage musicians of today >=(

  • So people are dissing daniel merriweather & Mark Ronson? Get a freaking grip people - u are in for a BUMPY ride!

  • Morrisey better - but I don't mind this version

  • Must say I actually prefer this to the original.

  • I can't believe this beautiful voice came out of such a douchy looking guy. XD.

  • @Winterfang When I first heard this song, I thought it was a black dude singing. Now I see that he's white, I think "what a cunt". This is coming from a white dude as well.

  • The Smiths.....

  • original video much better

  • Very Extremely bad ass piece of shit sucky video clip man what those people when they make that bideo i doesn't express any feelings it just so bad they put such a stupid videoclip with a great awesome song like this one

  • shit video

    Great song

  • pff pls stop comparing musicians with each other.. every musician has their own thing(every good musician) mark ronson is one of the good i dunno who the smiths are but you cant compare songs with each other cuz both are diffrent musicians.. ofcourse they make diffrent shit.. obviosly.. if you dont like this song or something why then not leaving this place? right? go listen to the smiths if you prefer that more than this;)

  • @BellaBeep lol, fair comment. I agree you have to have variation I like all of them for what they do as individuals. wow when did music get so dam political, I dont mean you BellaBeep, just seem,s to be a youtube thing!

  • @dodgerdannyboy indeed when did it start? i guess when youtube existed:P but yea ppl should stop compare musicians. cuz everyone is diffrent and obviosly make diffrent shit.. how would the world be if musicians made only lady gaga music, personally i would stop listening to music..hahah

  • @BellaBeep Shit, sounds like hell to me mate, only gaagaa, I would stop living me thinks!

  • @dodgerdannyboy I totally agree, i would 2!! only gaga beats and the gaga looks ..Its making me mad already just by thinking lol

  • @BellaBeep you dont know who the smiths are!?!? and stop crying about people comaring musicians aswell, its pretty gay.

  • @123boyle123 Yeah i dont know them and im okay with it. i havent shed a tear so im not crying, and im just telling its weird that some can compare stuff when its from diffrent person, if you think thats gay, be my guess think its gay :D its not changing my opinion
