Morrissey covering "A Song From Under the Floorboards" originally by Magazine. Live in Scotland in April 2006. Thanks to frodisman and Grim O'Grady on the moz-solo forums, from whom I stole this without asking. (Sorry! I'll take it down if you want!)

  • He didn't have to change the lyric to "Then I got tired of counting these so-called blessings". The notion that they were 'so-called' was already inferred. Less is more.

  • technically, it was implied, not inferred. and in the original it's implied by howard devoto's tone and delivery. morrissey's delivery is different in this, and maybe the same level of contempt and sarcasm wasn't coming across without changing the line. either way it means that morrissey's version is inferior, and of course it is, but i do like that morrissey put his spin on it. morrissey didn't really HAVE to do anything to the original, but what would be the fun in a rote recitation?

  • Dundee or not ...thanks for posting that. My fave song ever by my 2nd fave band ever. thanks for that

  • I miss his shows... :/

  • Mozza is like Elvis - he can sing anything and it is his style.....I am sure Howard would appreciate it!

  • Morrisey has sung some good stuff but he hasn't done this classic song any justice at all. No guts. I think he dedicated a song to Howard once -" The Last International Playboy".

  • @LeonJRichard

    come on you cannot be serious...

    

  • i love Morrissey .nice of him to venture a runin with a nother songsmith famous for his words but this needs work!

  • Bullshit cover.Absolutely no apologies for making this comment.

  • Agree. Even Lolita Pop made a better version of this song.
