Today's song is Morrissey's live cover of this Joe South composition, included on the deluxe edition of Low in High School. The song was originally written and recorded by South in 1967 before being covered by Lynn Anderson in 1970 - and it was her version that made the song a country/pop...

Today's song is this one, a Morrissey/Whyte composition from the You Are The Quarry album. Released as a single in the UK, it reached Number 10 on the Christmas chart of 2004 (back in the pre-streaming days when the Christmas chart wasn't almost entirely filled by "classic" festive tracks)...

Our song for today is this one, a Morrissey / Street composition from the second side of Viva Hate. What do we think? (I was hoping we'd get to do "I Have Forgiven Jesus" today, Easter Sunday, but alas we'll have to wait until tomorrow for that one.)

Our song for today is this Gilbert O'Sullivan live cover, included on the deluxe edition of Low in High School. (The original was released in 1971, as the B-side to O'Sullivan's single "We Will".) Thoughts on this one?

Today's song is this one: "unreleased" for a while but then posted on YouTube by SER in August 2020 as a "thank you" for the flowers sent by fans after the death of Morrissey's mother. What do we think of this one?

Our song for today is this one: the second single from Vauxhall and I - and the first Morrissey single which failed to make the Top 40 in the UK. (Not a reflection, in my view, on the quality of the song - but a very strange choice for a single!) Anyhow: what do we think of this one?
