Misheard lyrics

Which Smiths lyrics did you mishear for years? Personally in handsome devil, I always thought Moz was saying ‘there’s more to life than looks, you know’ instead of ‘there’s more to life than books you know’

and in Rush and a Push I thought he was saying ‘so prized to still be on my own’, instead of ‘surprised to still be on my own’

I actually preferred both of the lyrics I misheard, lol

shirt/merch question

I went to a comedy show a while ago and saw someone with a shoplifters of the world unite shirt (if I recall correctly, just a white shirt with that text in red on the front). Haven't been able to find it but if someone can help me I'd be so grateful!

Songs / Bands that sound like : "There is a Light That Never Goes Out"

This song is my favourite song of all time, its just perfect in every way for me. I think its mainly the way its sad sounding, yet also upbeat at the same time. I've looked through plenty of bands that have music similar to the smiths, but there is just something about that song that sticks with me. if anyone has any other songs or bands that somewhat capture that style of song, please let me know ! thank you!

“Songs That Saved Your Life” book

People who have read this book, is it worth a read for a big Smiths fan? Thinking about giving it a try but thought I’d ask to see if it’s well written, has interesting info, ect.

Help me find a song

I heard this song that I swear was by Morrissey or The Smiths and it was a kind of parody of Friday, I’m in Love by The Cure. Lyrics were something like “Wednesday I’m not getting out of bed, Thursday I feel worthless, Friday I’m going to KMS” or something like that. LOL I swear this is real and not some sort of dream but I can’t find it anywhere.

Do you think The Smiths would have turned out much different if they'd signed with Factory Records?

Why was Hand In Glove on three albums?

I like this song, but the exact same version was featured not only on the debut album, but also on HoH and LTB. Just why?

i made a remaster of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want...

https://youtu.be/FqkPlQUUetY?si=kGLrL7rypUdg3bYk

i made this remaster/re-edition/remix/own version (as you like to call it) of The Smiths' Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want.
This is only an own version that doesn't have so much technical work (it's not so rigorous), I'm kind of newbie to music production, so sorry if it doesn't sound good sometimes, maybe you like that or maybe you just want to demolish it; it's fine (at the end of the day, I'm only a noobie doing a shitty version haha).
I made this using the midi and "labs" and "vital" plugins. So, if you think you can improve it, I'll give here a link to a download of the project:

What is the best song?

You just got a new friend who asked you: What's your favorite band? You say the smiths, they respond saying that they have never heard them. What is the first song you play for them?
