A Girl I Used To Know

[Practising Troublemaker]

Hey, does anyone know if this is really a Morrissey song? It has been rumoured to be a rare track but I really cannot say as I feel I would have heard more about it.

IS this the one that goes Melanie, why don't you inject yourself? If it does then its not Morrissey, although I recall Simon Mayo playing it on the radio thinking it was his new single (c Boxers 1995)

Yeah it's the famous "Melanie" hoax. Bizzarely catchy though.

A hoax i believe, not that it's easy to tell on first hearing

I heard it was a Mark Radcliffe hoax, but listening to the accent it seems decidely Dutch. Anyway, it ain't real.

:confused: If that's the same song I've heard, neither the song nor the guy's voice sounded anything like Morrissey.

Is it just me or am I the only person who is aware that "Melanie" aka "A Girl I Used To Know" is nothing more than a "Jeane" reworking...it is nearly identical!

It is indeed a hoax....

It's blantantly a fake but I didn't notice that! Now you mention it though it's so obvious! It is quite catchy though it's obviously no patch on our Mozza!
