The Smiths Crossbred With The Supremes = Really Good, Akshully

-

i guess this was a big hit in the UK (i've never heard it before today), and smiths fans supposedly LOATHE it, but i am DIGGING IT, and i personally think that theintegration of the lyrics from the Supremes classic 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' is GENIUS, and honestly, it sounds like those words have always been in that song. There's something about it that makes it sound like it's an old O'Jays song or something that came out of Philly 30+ years ago (that got remixed).

Video's pretty good, too... the UK video, not the SHITFUL 'international video' which is basically a fat slice of dirty ass. You know what else is weird, is the pic of mark ronson on the cover of 'versions' is reminiscent of the old smiths album cover 'hatful of hollow.' it's pretty evocative of smiths cover art in general, actually. probably intentional.


and HERE is the original song from 'strangeways here we come' which is probably one of my VERY favorite smiths albums, after 'the queen is dead', of course.
