TOTP Chart Show

Morrissey - 'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy'

'Tis the season to be jolly, right? Well, it looks like they forget to tell Morrissey, yet again. No tidings of comfort and joy here. Instead, the cheery chappy reflects, "Let鈥檚 face it, soon I will be dead." Lovely. This is the fourth single to be ripped from 'Ringleader Of The Termentors' and, frankly, it's more miserly than the other three singles put together. Bah humbug!

MorrisseyOn the other hand鈥hose of you without a festive bone in your body will probably think this is the perfect antidote to this season's chart cheese. So if you'd rather lock yourself away in a dark room for the next month than deck your halls with holly, this will be right up your street.

It's nowhere near as catchy as 'You Have Killed Me' or 'First Of The Gang To Die' (the man's full of merry titles!) or anything the Smiths ever did, but at least it's short and to the point. The grungy guitars and trombone make this slighty heavier than you'd expect, but come on Mozza, a smile once in a while wouldn't go amiss. 'I Just Want To See The Boy Happy', indeed!

Three starsReleased: December 4th

    If You have killed me and First of the gang to die were catchy, why then did radio1 not give them airplay?
    The answer is simple Radio1 sucks.

    radio1 never played the Smiths either, the best band of the 80s, they were too busy playing Sonia and Big Fun and Pete Watermans dribble.

    [John Peel played Sonia, did he? And Big Fun? Is there a tape of this? Calm down, Charlie, Radio 1 did OK by the Smiths, when you stop and think about it... - Fraser]
