They couldnt have given Moz an easier lyric than the one he got at 11 minutes in!

[Brel]

Still have it on video, but my VCR packed in years ago so its ages since I've watched it. I do recall Morrissey getting a very easy time with his questions.

Moz' face during his introduction was priceless :lbf:

The video wont play after 4 mins...how on earth do I see it? And where is the link to download the torrent on that page?

Quote, Morrissey to Andy Peebles:
"It's like doing Widow Twankey pantomime!"

God 80s TV was bloody tedious, Morrissey looks rightly bored and very uncomfortable throughout. I love the look that he does when Mike Read says 'I'm sure he'll be back again'.

[lottie]

Ha, love it! :lbf:
is Moz on the presenters shirt? second pair of glasses down? i swear its supposed to be him.

[dreamchild]

Same with the face underneath the second pair of glasses right hand lens.

Morrissey tapping his pencil impatiently. :lbf:

On May 26, 1984 — just three months after the release of The Smiths (http://www.amazon.com/Smiths/dp/B000002L5P/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1286345263&sr=1-1) — a young and occasionally smiling Morrissey (http://wwww.itsmorrisseysworld.com/) appeared on the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/) TV game show “Pop Quiz,” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_Quiz) which pitted two teams of musicians against each other in a battle of musical knowledge hosted by a ridiculously attired DJ named Mike Read. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Read)
In this half-hour episode — which can be seen in its entirety via the two clips posted below, uploaded just last month by YouTube user Slane717 (http://www.youtube.com/user/Slane717) — Morrissey, “Kids in America” singer Kim Wilde (http://www.kimwilde.com/) and singer/stage actor Alvin Stardust (http://www.alvinstardust.com/) are pitted against Thin Lizzy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_Lizzy) frontman Phil Lynott, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Lynott) Kajagoogoo’s (http://www.kajagoogoo.com/) Nick Beggs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Beggs) and Derek Forbes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Forbes) of Simple Minds. (http://www.simpleminds.com/)
Although Moz’s team — spoiler alert! — loses in the end, the Smiths (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Smiths) frontman does pretty well, quickly ID’ing a clip of Echo & The Bunnymen’s (http://www.bunnymen.com/) “The Killing Moon,” recognizing Nancy Sinatra’s (http://www.nancysinatra.com/) “These Boots Are Made for Walking” from a snippet of the song’s lyrics, and reeling off some of ’50s pop star Billy Fury’s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Fury) Top 10 hits. (He did, however, get beat by the guy from Kajagoogoo on two questions about The Cure. (http://www.thecure.com/))
In typical fashion, though, it wasn’t long before Morrissey regretted appearing on the show. In an interview with The Face (http://foreverill.com/interviews/1984/mozface.htm) published in July 1984, Moz said, “‘Pop Quiz’ was unbearable. I realized it was a terrible mistake the moment the cameras began to roll. … I just squirmed through the program. I went back to my dressing room afterwards and virtually felt like breaking down, it had been so pointless. I felt I’d been gagged.”

Don´t know whether this has been posted before but I thought it was really funny when I found it. It´s Morrissey in an early 80ies pop-quizshow with Kim Wilde and Alvin Stardust in his team answering pop trivia questions. Of course he could tell that a certain piece of text was pulled from Nancy Sinatra´s These boots are made for walking... :)
