This isn't the way the show intended it. This is a mash-up in case you didn't catch the original.

How was it shown originally??

[CrystalGeezer]

There was no Stop Me track over it, no cutting and fading to Morrissey video, his bike was in a ginormous pile of bicycles in an alleyway at the very top, the Johnny bits were longer, the xylophone was the only music if I recall. This isn't even close to the original.

Oh. Well that's a bit shit :(

Has anyone uploaded a video of the original?

[King Leer]

A rare case where a mash-up is definitely better then.
It's actually good it's been revealed as such, otherwise we'd have metaphorical discussions ad nauseum about Johnny needing his "mojo" back from Morrissey.

What, for the love of God, is "Portlandia"?

I got a chuckle out of both of them ! Was the orginal part of a TV series where Johnny was a guest star ?
