It's fun!AWESOME.
Love this!
But I think having all those channels going is effective for showing what the song is about? Not to mention at the 1:50 or so mark, when the Breaking News segment starts, the headlines actually contain the lyrics to the song!!!I like the cover version, especially the music when it kind of goes wild.
A pathetically pedantic p.s. from pitiful me.... if you're telling people to stop watching the news then don't have 20 news shows playing in the video.
I find the lyrics to this very silly and strange. First I'm telling you that I spent the day in bed, then I'm demanding that you stop watching the news? Easily some of his worst.Love the lyric, 'the news contrives to frighten you'. It's beautifully expressed and so true.
It's not a favourite Morrissey song of mine but I was pleased to hear it do so well at the time.
It's also nice to hear a relatively modern Morrissey song being covered, and not just another version of Every Day Is Like Sunday.
Is this an extract of a novel you're writingI would make one change to the video: the last still image, should have been Morrissey laying in the bed with Dana and each of them with a lit cigarette, or vape pipe, with a exuberant cloud of exhale.
This is what I love about Morrissey. He writes what on the surface is a simple 3-minute pop song that (hopefully) will get played on the radio. But there is so much going on in those lyrics. Those lyrics are subverse and obverse and perverse all at the same time. And also very funny. And all that in a 3-minute pop song.I have just discovered the deeper message in this little song!
Why is she lying down on a sofa for the entire video?
She's not in a bed!
