The Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

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].

I've listened to this song at least 10 times in a row now (no joke). I may have heard it before but I don't want it to stop. It's not even their best song but it's just perfect.

It's easy to tell young people the music of today is shallow but at the time the Smith's came out there was an awful lot of shallow music too.  Lots of hair bands, disco and bad country and western were clogging up the airways in the early 80's. But, there were some really good artists in the early 80's not appreciated in their time.
