Posted March 28, 200718 yr Over the next couple of weeks, i'm going to compile a list of my top 50 Morrissey/The Smiths' songs :) All input is welcome as it makes the thread more enjoyable for both parties.... i'll probably forget aload but so what, i could never have a 100% accurate top 50, anyway, it's not possible as it changes daily.. so it should be a pretty f***ed up chart, if you ask me :D ! so here goes.....
March 28, 200718 yr Author 50. MORRISSEY - ROY'S KEEN N_3guDyMfEY I'll always remember this because it's the song to the closing credits of Roy Keane's 'As I See It' DVD. it's a very catchy, fun song... and most non-Morrissey fan's seem to enjoy it.... And yes, 'The title is an obvious pun of the name of former Nottingham Forest and Manchester United footballer Roy Keane - a fact Morrissey acknowledged during live performences of the song by changing the lyrics too "never seen a keener midfielder".' :D
March 28, 200718 yr Author 49. MORRISSEY - WE HATE IT WHEN OUR FRIENDS BECOME SUCCESSFUL Fb1uytt7zaM From 'Your Arsenal', the first song written by Alain Whyte for Morrissey. Yet again, another catchy song, good chorus.. a different dimension to Moz :dance:
March 28, 200718 yr Author 48. THE SMITHS - HANDSOME DEVIL 63gug4yq9ks Probably the song which made people think that maybe Morrissey is talking about Homosexuality, thus, combinating in everyone speculating on this sexuality. But to me this is clearly homosexual. The words of Morrissey fit the music of Marr perfect in this, imo. 'And when we're in your scholarly room Who will swallow whom ? When we're in your scholarly room Who will swallow whom ? You handsome devil'
March 30, 200718 yr Handsome Devil is a corking song..... and a testament to the power and songwriting genius of the Smiths that this gem was just a b-side.... I love the lines "A boy in the bush is worth two in the hand... I think I can help you get through your exams... ohhh.... you handsome devil". Saucy.
March 31, 200718 yr I'm a little surprised to see 'Handsome Devil' so soon... does this mean you think there are 47 Morrissey tracks which are better? I suppose there could be :)
March 31, 200718 yr I'm going to enjoy viewing this thread. However the songs at #49 & #48 are too low in my opinion.
March 31, 200718 yr Author It's too hard without planning this for months, imo :P if anyone wants to take over to help out, be my guest :P
March 31, 200718 yr It's too hard without planning this for months, imo :P if anyone wants to take over to help out, be my guest :P Na, I'll make a top 50 at some point too, but this is yours!! It can never be exact, but it will be a rough guide. The most interesting thing will be which tracks you leave out!! ^_^
April 1, 200718 yr Author Na, I'll make a top 50 at some point too, but this is yours!! It can never be exact, but it will be a rough guide. The most interesting thing will be which tracks you leave out!! ^_^ And get slagged off for doing so :lol: i think the next 47 will need to be revised, i'll probably do it tonight :P
