Ivor Cutler/The Smiths - Boy With The Thorn In His Side

[PENRYISADUDE]

Very nice use of a curtain.

[jbdean55]

wish i had all those vinyl singles.

[Lonelykeanefan]

Things like this make me wish I hadn't been born into an age of soulless music and comedians who swear to get their laughs...

But it makes me glad that dress sense has improved somewhat ;)

[Lucianoloucurinhas]

♥ Ivor Cutler...

[lewys93]

I'm so glad I found this video... This was how I discovered Ivor Cutler

[campfreddie]

@lewys93 glad to have helped introduce you to the delights of Ivor sunshine.

[lewys93]

@campfreddie Thank you very much indeed, we all need a little Cutler in our lives.

A lot of my friends think he's awful, perhaps they just don't understand it.

[lynus111]

@lewys93 You just need to let him lead you to Robert Wyatts Rock bottom and your journey is complete!.

[arthurbayford]

bleed bill bleed

[witchever99]

Ever heard of the Beatles ? Ivor can be seen making a cameo in

Magical Mystery Tour

Search you tube . enjoy .

[crunterstamps]

X-factor is a Programme that showcases Musical "talent" on British TV.Total Crap it is

[metramil]

sin palabras....

[joedivision1992]

my beatles

[zazeify]

make-up by Charlie Chaplin

[crunterstamps]

True Genius was Ivor Cutler.You need to have an IQ over 42 to appreciate his take on life though.So X-Factor Fans ...Forget it!!

[Silenus6]

@crunterstamps what's x-factor? nevermind. :)

[DesperatelyKind]

Manchesters Finest! Indeed!!!!!!!

[1doctoma]

great to know ivor recognised a contemporary lyricist of the same calibre.... genius knows genius when it sees it

[karziflora]

Oh God....Roureky was so Gorgeous back then.....4EVER Love My Darling!!!

[theMacvarish]

Go now and find,"Tales from a Scottish sitting room".

Ivor Cutler : A man born in time, but out of season.

[JohnnyDreamboat]

Bewildered indeed

[pierluu]

Morrissey presentato da Ivor Cutler

[jarvizcocker]

moz looks so young. bless.

[Flinklehurst]

I came here for Ivor what the hell is the Smiths?

[ListenToTheStoner420]

Ivor cutler rules! bicarbonate of chicken rules! if you don't know it look it up. oh there will be laughter :D

[talk2cherry]

Great song ! I share the moment when they released this song at far east.

[KevLancaster1]

Magic

[JasonB1969]

I commented on this clip ages ago, so here's a follow up comment.

I am 40 and a few years after I left school I went to college and remember listening to The Smiths during that period of my life.

Their lyrics just seemed to strike a chord with where I was at the time in terms of college education, job prospects etc...

I first heard Ivor Cutler on John Peel (r.i.p.).

[pluckdaduck]

Johnny Marr one cool fecker!!

[kellerinhak]

adoroooooooooooooo

muito bom.. smithssss

[MrKakashihatake27]

Achei vc rsrsrsrsr!!!!

Essa musica e foda

[whitekarma8]

I like the song but I don't like how they look.

[oncelost69]

close your eyes then !!!!!!!!

[merseybeat1963]

This song should have been a # 1  WORLD WIDE.

See the Natyvox post of this on you tube too.

[Eltroim]

@merseybeat1963 they needed to promote themselves a bit more. More international tours etc. Take a band like the police who was just as legendary and they were #1 worldwide bcuz they played in every place possible.

[swmyers7]

Thank you, Blackpool, for turning me onto this song!

[electrosl34ze]

his voice is so great

[KevLancaster1]

what a voice. incredible

[lewys93]

Wow. This is incredible. What an introduction!

[Bizzarrbizma]

OMG I CANT WAIT TO SEEE HIM LIVE!!!!!! <3

and hes not gay or bi moz is an A-sexxual that means he's not attracted to any gender thats why he made the song "how soon is now"

but he is an amzing person! i love him and his music <3

[karziflora]

Rourkey U R so adorable, talented, humble and unfortunately forever in the shadow of Mozza & Marr.....

Love U Andy <3

[nouveauxdecadence]

Morrissey is SO hot in this video, that blue outfit makes me drooool. Love this track, so calming and beautiful. Sigh +

[41htdex]

i wish i had those singles

[andreaneilcmc]

Ivor Cutler is dead. He was a surreal social comentator and poet who you either get and laugh hysterically or think WTF. He is an unknown pleasure, but if you embrace the power of Ivor, your life will be richer and fuller. Love from a man "smaller than nature intended".

[frenchielcfc]

i heard he got adopted by hippies when he was about 60

[theonlyantony]

@andreaneilcmc Epaulets like bath brushes!

[freebearride]

who is IVOR CUTLER?????? o________o

[Feline226]

I LOVE YOU MORRISSEY!!!

[godlessKnowledge]

I think Moz is bisexual but just not very into sex.

[VUtheclashVU]

wilde/morrisey estetism in music :)

[MyGoshDarnUserName]

i think morresy is gay.. after all

[jerrygreg2]

Fantastic from 3:48 on...

[thetattytruth]

hahahha

[jerrygreg2]

I wasn't putting The Smiths down, just elevating Ivor! I mean, it's absolutely fine and then it's fantastic!

[edutabolado]

the smiths nossa na minha epoca foi demais muito bom e relembro ate hoje nao ira existir nenhum igual a eles demais!!!!!!!!!!

[vazjam]

Hi: I think you said that they were unique to your era and that no-one has come close since...

Agreed! X

[IGLECIAS81]

I love this song, it's my favorite.

hello to all smiths fans around the world.

[vazjam]

Hi, Honey, from Hertfordshire, England x

[IGLECIAS81]

Hello. thanks.

Ensenada B:C

Mexico

[Jorisman]

morrisey AND ivor cutler : poetic geniusses !!!

[EricaNandha]

Muito bom!!!! Maaaara!

[FrysBoyRemus]

Did anyone else hear the daleks at the end?

[damienmetalwind]

0:59

Yeah!

[gabrielangello]

"Without Johnny Marr They Wouldn't Have been Anything."

That was proved True once He left the group. He was the Glue that held them together. ONE OF THE GREATEST ENGLISH GUITARISTS OF THE 20th Century.

[Holyspaceghost]

Marr and Morrissey are simpatico you couldn't have The Smiths without either of them... To imply that Marr was a more important part is ridiculous.... and Marr didn't leave the group Morrissey did... Surely you knew that?

[gabrielangello]

Surely you knew Marr left first?????

[iwokeuphalfundressed]

Yeah. What a blunder. lol

[keethropson]

Exactly! What have they done on their own? I only like Bengali in Platforms!

[marielondon13]

Johnny marr

:D

[elviscaceres]

q buen tema, junto a The Cure lo mejor..

[alyshells]

2:40 to 3:20.. = Most wonderful hilarious awesome sounds to ever exist.

[loombaron]

....and if they dont believe me now will they ever believe me....

[fiveorsixgirls]

yes, the patron saint of the bewildered. god bless morrissey

[karziflora]

Rourkey I Love U!!!!!!!!

[andrewkenworthy]

ive heard it said that the smiths were a homoerotic band or at least some of morisseys appeal was,, well i dont really care about that,,im straight ,,but morissey can be anything he wants to be,,for me this dude wrote the most poignant sharp humorous vivid reality songs in short a genius as is marr,,their music is unparalleled and the hope and attitude they gave to bewildered teens like me back then ,,well nuff said.

[BRACK3N]

Here hear!

: )

[galletacaca]

@andrewkenworthy they give hope to us teenagers nowadays too

[GayGeisha]

@andrewkenworthy Amen to that

[xmelsx]

Morrissey is the best alwaysss!

Love Mossss

[jo7dan118]

hes even got tartan on u fool

[jo7dan118]

hes scottish u idiot

[loombaron]

thanks guys but what is HMV? , what is a link man? who os Ivor?

[groinhat]

HMV is/was a record company (His Master's Voice) then a chain of record shops, a link man is a man who does links (continuity announcer) and Ivor Cutler RIP was one of the coolest people who ever existed (look him up on Wikipedia).

The Smiths were good too.

[loombaron]

hey guys, i have trouble with english accent, what does the old man say at the end of the vid?

[Rocko650]

Hola Loombaron,

Ivor says,......

"Who'd of thought that this little fella would have grown up to be a TV link man for HMV."

[loombaron]

the guitarist is very small and slim, how can he hold that big guitar? XD XD

[RodMarshForever]

Behind the hatred there lies

A murderous desire for love

brilliant

[DRNEGOLICIS]

good song has a good up beat to it

[jesse9283]

Johnny marr!

[Karenamos]

i used to be so in love with morrisey . I drove my family mad playing this song over and over again . It still gives me goose bumps now .

[starstar001]

Cutlertastic.

[darapperr]

Such a pretty song.

[spliffythree]

Smashing, I like Ivor Cutler and The Smiths so a pretty go upload by all acounts. 5 stars

[utoviz]

Dove siete finiti, suoni e voci dei miei anni delusi? Cantavate giusto dal centro del mio petto, io vi sentivo...

[xantippa65]

I´m old enough to say this lyric is a verry special one....and he looks verry much like a 1980 kind of boy. You cant tell if hes straigt or gay...and who cares....I love this song!

[dean24uk]

why critasize a song you dont even understand,more to the point, why are you here, shocking, and very childish, i cant relate to the smiths as much as some people,(like who lived there teens in the 80s) but i can appreciate great music when i hear it, all my favorite bands are from manchester, and im sure the smiths influenced many of them and others,

[gerry1976]

Johnny looks too pale like if he has AIDS.

Let's hope not.

[chaygavs]

TWAT!

[sticklemiss]

Nah, just hasn't slept for a couple of nights!

[sebaof]

esa versIon. es  del mISmo sinGle.!: xD

[jackthebiscuit]

yyeah fuck off you fat yank if you dont understand the british then fuck off and listen to good chaloote u useless fuck holes

[blackmufucka]

thats wassup

[Guevara21]

Chill out jack.....I am an american and i love the smiths.....esp the tracks...bigmouth strikes again and cemetary gates... Not everyone is ignorant to melodious music and great lyrics!

[Aaronrichardpiper]

the smiths rule. if you don't like them then fuck of and go listen to your thrash metal and shit you fat american teens!!

[girlofmybestfriend]

Apparently Ivor Cutler was a passionate member of the British Noise Abatement Society, which makes you wonder what on earth he was thinking of, introducing this unearthly racket......

[JasonB1969]

I think The Smiths are good. Perhaps you listened to them while at College and their lyrics seemed to fit that time in your life.

[diomy83]

Dont Understand this people if you dont like the smiths---I guess you are stupid for watching what you dont like. That makes a lot of sense. What are you doing here? Waching these videos if you dont like the smiths. Dont get it. I love the smiths!

[panzermort]

truth

[archiecat989]

I thinhk you got the jist of my argument, if not, you and and the depressing smiths can just fuck off into youre own deeply depressing world. bye......

[campfreddie]

More devastating wit and creative spellings. You spoil us.

[archiecat989]

No, Morrisey is a bun faced bore, he probably impresses council house intalectuals therfor he is rich. But he is crap.

[campfreddie]

Presumably council house brainy types can spell words like "therefore" and "intellectuals" correctly. You're not from such houses I take it?

[zepareace]

You can't say Ivor cutler so i will watch this, when theres only like five seconds of him....I personally happen to disslike the Smiths Immensely.

[campfreddie]

Hey buddy, it's my clip, I can put what I like...

If you dislike the Smiths so much, that's your misfortune.

[Sres1]

Could always skip to the end and avoid the smiths :)

[jimejor]

Geniales, míticos, formidables. Siento mucha nostalgia al escucharlos. Vivan The Smith.

[starwave1967]

what a shit song.

[starwave1967]

yes, what a crap song

[davodd]

Hated it then - and I hate it now.

Ugh.

[Janalfared]

Still,u should know that Smiths have a unique sound & that Morr is a very good singer/poet/songwriter.Who can compete with these guys when it comes to combining great songs + great melodies + deep lyrics?I liked (still do) Joy div.,Cure,Sisters,Talking Heads,Dep.Mode,Talk Talk etc too,but the Smiths still sound ok.And where have all these artists,apart from Depeche Mode and maybe a few more,gone to?Morrissey is still recording good stuff these days.But if you don't like it, you just don't.

[silmalila]

I like your list, Janalfared, but I think that John Foxx is one of the best lyricists of all time, right up there with all of the great ones.

Oh yeah, and David Sylvian too!

Thanks freddie for posting this gem.

[replicas79]

GARY NUMAN! A GOD!!

[silmalila]

God is the only God that I know of.

[replicas79]

i mean a MUSIC GOD! ;-)

[silmalila]

'Kay.

I'll go along with that!

[loombaron]

???? what does gary numan have to do with this video?

[upyournosewarthog]

test

[archiecat989]

Deeply pretentious

[rosiehatesvoltorb]

Is it not 'deeply pretentious' of you to declare songs as 'deeply pretentious'?

[MisguidedPirate]

This song really demonstrates how much of an influence The Smiths are on the band Anberlin.

[Icybearg450]

They were ahead of their time!!

genius

Great vid!!!!

[ROCKYROSIE2]

Excellento !1 Out of all the 80s crap Smiths,Talk Talk and Wang Chung really gave us some hope.

[damienmetalwind]

Lose the Wang Chung and you've got yourself a deal...

[bisbille33]

le plus grand groupe du monde !!!

[oopsuhdaiz]

Morrisey and marr.. are geniusues

[jiffcat]

ivor and morrissey - matter and antimatter ----- rrrruuuuuuun

[vagnerbr2005]

this is umbelivable i love it

[amoralfungus]

Morrissey is my champion...

but I've never seen anyone with as much contempt for his own clothing as he...

"If you want your shirt off, MOZ; just pull it off and be done with!!"

[noelkara]

Rourke looks like an infant.

[hakanozelguitarist]

i like the way the singer doesnt stand in the middle. a bit different

[alex310375]

a melhor banda que ja´ existiu.

[falgiano]

can you imagine a world without the smiths? no no no

all music should be this wonderfully awkward and human.

[montjuik]

unicos, perfectos

[markrskinner]

Dogs Danglers.

[ihatepat66]

two of the greatest music grups ever, well ivor cutler isnt a group but you know what i mean, brilliant stuff

[javierburboa]

Awesome!

[NMMorna]

Marr was having fun... And that´s so good to see

[AshmanGT]

I don't get it.

[mildred85]

Neither do I...

[lionelstarch]

That's OK.

[DJGort]

Perfection.

[GeneralEcho]

top choice

[DepecheModeLover]

Johnny Marr looks so adorable in this.

[JHunter22]

Look at those old fashioned illegal mp3 downloads at the start of the clip. What a long way we've come.
