Official promotional video for Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before.
The Smiths' song, written by the usual combination of Morrissey and Johnny Marr, came out on the group's 1987 album Strangeways, Here We Come.
The song was originally supposed to be released as a single and a music video was filmed, featuring scenes of the group-iconic Salford Lads Club and surrounding areas being bicycled through by the lads and friends. Because of a reference to "plan a mass murder" in one lyric it was banned from airplay by the BBC because of the then recent Hungerford massacre, so the band decided not to release it in the UK, however it was released in various other regions including North America, Europe, Australasia and Japan [1].

@776danzig Ah... but Morrissey and The Smiths gave us Americans some hope knowing that it was as miserable in England in the 80's as it was here in the U.S.! He was a beacon of style, poetic genius and brash exhibitionism that was needed to counter the "Pop" shit music/style that was current (and STILL Is today!) at the time!

Johnny Marr.... one of the top 5 guitarists post Hendrix... believe it my young friends or just accept it begrudgingly... and the smiths were about songs not guitar heroics
