ok so they hvae one of those 'mini' models of paris and they skip round that hugging things...

*picking up the hint yet Moz? ;)*

[CeciDeMorrissey]

Please, please, please... Yes... Someone tape it and upload it here... For those of us who are faraway enough not to enjoy his beauty and music :) I'm really curious about how that video can be... Romantic? Ironic? Funny? Sunny? Cloudy?

Well, they shot the vid in L.A., so I don't think we will be seeing him humping the Eiffel Tower or anything.

Could be done in a studio somewhere. They could have a little mini Eiffel Tower to dance round. :D

i have a strong feeling the paris video will be shot in some hollywood FILMSTUDIOS:
.in the "parisian filmsetting" of course..
since the lyrics obv suggest to see paris ..even the "holllywood paris" filmset
but who knows......
to shooting in a "paris filmset"this might be cheaper than shooting in paris directly which might be too expensive to shoot in.
.like for exapmple new york where a lot of people do choose toronto over ny but of course still stating the story takes place in NY
as its too expensive to shoot there and toronto(it was a city in canada where they go always for a "FAKE" ny i remember that ..pretty sure it was toronto) since toronto has the same look like NY
@ over to LJ :
Hope ,pettythief , you (or your friend does;) got some more insider info in the future to contribute ...as far as I know you are rooted in the rockabilly scene yourself, eh?

[mozsupportsrovers]

maybe morrissey will be dresses in a stripey t-shirt with a beret on his head and some onions and garlic round his neck.....now that would be worth seeing

oy yes please a beret and a baguette..*thinks about some more cheesy clichees:D:p
some poets in streets cafe next to him,smoking
well its a hardly a beret but he could wear his flatcap...
but he only seems to wear it when he doesnt want to be recognized?

haha this is fun. using our imaginations. can't wait to see what it'll really be :D

I do hope so. :D

[vAndreav]

haha that made me laugh

[vivabob]

everyone thinks the video will have a paris set , i disagree for these reasons

he never killed anyone in the you have killed me video

no boys were happy in the the i just want to see the boy happy video

no girlfriends were in a coma in that video

no one called frank in the our frank video

.... need i go on :confused:

[vivabob]

That video is excellent :cool:.

its on my myspace and has been for the past year .. pay attention :eek:

[Vauxhall95]

Please......

It'll be a video in which Morrissey and the band either: stands around, sits around, walks around, or drives around lip syncing to the song.

Sadly, that's the standard M.O. these days. Morrissey despises videos, and the budget for said videos seems to run well into the hundreds of dollars.

Have you got a newsletter from http://itsmorrisseysworld.com?

According to the newsletter Paris promo video will be on myspace Monday 12th January.

[ALLIE WALLS]

Yes but im sure lots of people who dont have access to channel 4 would want to see it asap.

very true:D

[Jukebox Jury]

is Paris in it? :eek:

It was filmed in Swindon with a cardboard cut out of the Eiffel Tower in the background, due to the credit crunch:D

Jukebox Jury

[CrystalGeezer]

My mom has this little eiffel tower I gave her. I was going to do a cutout of Morrissey hugging it using fishing line puppetry and say the video had been leaked, but I ran out of time. :) Oh well.

[Sister Rose]

I am really looking forward to it. I hope someone from the U.K puts it on youtube or something for our American friends, I would but I'm crap at doing stuff like that!

[Absurd]

Thanks. :)

and lots of Morrissey please! :D

It won't show anything of Paris. It won't be glossy or slick either. It will be low budget and cheap. And everyone afterwards will come on to complain because they won't be able to understand why Morrissey still refuses to have big budget videos like George Michael.

I think ya right!.....:( he doesnt go over the top with his vids does he? lol I wish he would though. His music is of such high quality it would be nice to have vids that reach that same level of Genius.

Maybe as penance for being snarky on stage it'll be a big huge Minoguesque production with his hair blowing in the wind and motion graphics and green screen shots and expensive puppetry and half naked ladies and tons of movement and camera work...nah.

Nothing worse than over the top videos that have had thousands and thousands spent on them in my view. Everything that was wrong about the eighties and is wrong now.

[Velvis]

Less than an hour to go!

I've come home early, especially to see the new vid.

I'm brewing a nice big pot of herbal tea, made sure my hair is brushed and parted. Oh yes, Velvis is ready for the world premiere...

I'm almost excided here!

[Sister Rose]

Oh but they do, you just have to know how to see it. It's the best kind of genius too, Funny God Genius.

well...you know, I'm gonna take back what I said actually, cos I'm thinking now about some of his vids that I really like and that do show his Genius. So, yeah..ya right! :) My bad...:o lol

[sd_5]

I'm rather excited!
Only twenty minutes to go! :)

I'm so tired, but waiting until someone uploads the video so I can watch it and peacefully go to sleep. http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/2936/yawneekt5.gif (http://imageshack.us) :)

It will be on any min now, so be ready!! Yay!! :)

Don't worry, ALLIE WALLS said he'd upload it to youtube. :)

[Mentally_Ill]

ooh couple more minutes to go. Did anybody notice on the credits at the end of Final Destination III the name Michael Joyce?

[Ready With Ready-Wit]

Don't worry, ALLIE WALLS said he'd upload it to youtube. :)

Cool. :) I'm excited. :D

[nowherefast944]

WHERE IS IT? is it playing right now?!

[Kewpie]

Awwww, very cute video! :)

You'll see Solomon jumps over the drums.

[lainey]

is that eyeshadow? still lovely

[Mentally_Ill]

Fake scars and ugly dogs. Nice work Moz.

[Danny_]

Even the little dog refuses his love :D

[scottishblood]

So what's the sketch with the dog and the head band ????? and too much eyeshadow.

[lainey]

I like it. did both morrissey and boz have fake scars?

[Jane Birkin]

Cute doggies. :)

[yesitis]

loved it. he looks very pale/ill/made-up though. still looks good though.

[Kewpie]

Even the little dog refuses his love :D

Ewww, very mean thing to say! :p

[Jukebox Jury]

at least Poo-ley wasn't on it!

Morrissey looked a little grey both in colour of face and hair!:eek:
Loved the 'scars' both Morrissey and Boz were sporting

[Jose]

Dogs with eyeshadow?? :eek::D

[crimes]

Yays, French Bulldog and a Pug! :D

[sd_5]

Nice eyeshadow- suits him! That dog was cute.

[Jane Birkin]

Also loved S.W jumping over the drum kit, cute outfit too. :)

[ThePersonUnderneath]

it'll probably just be him standing there, singing, with the band. same old same old.

But with dogs! Nice though. Another sublime drum jump. Loved all the tambourine messing about. And the eyeshadow. :)

[Danny_]

It was all very minimal. Reminded me of old eighties videos that The Jam and Pretenders used to do with the white background.

[jesuisbryony]

You'll see Solomon jumps over the drums.

Again! :p

I liked it even though it's faster therefore even shorter. Similar to Fatty's video.
Horrid dogs though. :o

[lainey]

So what's the sketch with the dog and the head band ????? and too much eyeshadow.

the eyeshadow surprised me. it was dramatic....a very sweet video.
loved the big forward leap (roll) over the drumkit and the dogs too

[Kewpie]

WHERE IS IT? is it playing right now?!


I'm afraid it's on UK's Channel 4 exclusive.
Give ALLIE some time, he'll upload it on youtube. ;)

[robbo12345]

I dunno if it was just my telly but it sounded different, a little hollower than on my lapotop :confused: video was good though:cool:

[TheBaines]

The band playing surrounded by a load of white with a few little dogs running about. Someone dives over the drums again, someone tosses Moz a tambourine behind their back and Morrissey looks a bit odd. Very pale but I think it's the make-up rather than Morrissey being actually ill. The song seems to be played on a higher tone as well (if thats the right term).

The way Morrissey looks, actually make it a bit of an odd video...

[Velvis]

Pugs?

[nowherefast944]

just joking. i'm just getting excited. all this talk of eyeshadow, dogs, and leaping over drums is making me anxious!

[C.J.M]

That was quite possibly the most cheaply made bag of shite ive ever seen, im sorry but Paris is a really beautiful song and deserves a decent video, mozza and his record company could have pulled thier finger out and at least tried to make a half decent video:mad:

[sweet and tender hooligan]

Liked the Dogs. Liked the eyeshadow. He had a nice shirt on as well. :)

[Danny_]

I think the film was overexposed to enhance the white so they all looked pale, more noticeable on Moz because he had the close ups.

[Amy]

Dreadful video. The eyeshadow, the dogs....I feel sick.

[Stanley the 2nd]

Thought Morrissey looked like he'd been auditioning for the Addams family.

[Velvis]

White room, greying temples, scars, pugs... it's got the lot!

[jesuisbryony]

Morrissey looks a bit odd. Very pale but I think it's the make-up rather than Morrissey being actually ill.
He looks really pretty.

The song seems to be played on a higher tone as well (if thats the right term).

Change in pitch.

[Kewpie]

Pugs are very sweet dogs!

I miss the one in a house on the way to a crammy school.
He or she was really friendly and I often stroked it. :)

[spleenhead]

That was quite possibly the most cheaply made bag of shite ive ever seen

You obviously haven't seen most of Mozza's previous promos then...

[Mentally_Ill]

I am a bit disappointed with the video. I wanted something akin to the video for Ouija Board with famous people and a story. It's just too similar to previous morrissey videos, and those dogs are ugly. what's wrong with a nice retriever sucking a toilet roll or even that wolf-dog he once had. It's just going to lead to moronic morrissey fans going out and buying these stupid looking things - remember a dog is for life, not for Morrissey.

[Jane Birkin]

That was quite possibly the most cheaply made bag of shite ive ever seen, im sorry but Paris is a really beautiful song and deserves a decent video, mozza and his record company could have pulled thier finger out and at least tried to make a half decent video:mad:

Oh please, do you know the man at all???
He's been doing these types of videos for years, he's Morrissey, that's what he does.
Well I liked, it, it was nice and simple and very very cute.

[crimes]

One of the dogs was a French Bulldog (or maybe Boston Terrier), you can tell by the ears.

I'm still living for the day where I will see Morrissey and an English Bulldog together. THAT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE.

[Amy]

You obviously haven't seen most of Mozza's previous promos then...

Yeah but even those cheaply made bags of shite were at least half-tolerable, 'Paris' makes the video for 'All You Need Is Me' look classy.

[C.J.M]

Oh i have seen them all, i just think this ranks as one of the very worst!

[Sister Rose]

I'm a little disappointed......:( Oh well...still nice to see his Majesty! lol :D

love the doggy's

[jm26]

Thought it was pretty good personally. But I couldn't really care less abot the bloody video so that may have played a role. All I care about is that I like the song.

[TheBaines]

One of the programmes advertised just before the video was also entitled Could you eat an elephant? - a couple of chefs globetrotting eating various random animals.

BWahahahahahaha... that was funny. :D

Minimal style, no "scenery" then! But links to older videos.

The jumping, the tambourine, the "scars" the eyeshadow. Ghostly makeup which accentuated the blue eyes/clothes.

It's better here than I remembered live, but a short song, nevertheless.
What's with the pugs? Cuddly but ugly? trying to pretty the wrinkly?
Will we wonder whose dogs they are, and what their names?

Christ, I can't stop going on about the dogs.

You mean Decca sprang for TWO dogs? Holy shit!:)

[The Spirit of '69]

I thought that was dreadful. Possibly his worst video. Morrissey looks awful and I can't for the life of me understand why on earth he would want to look like that. I much preferred the video for 'All You Need Is Me', in which he looked healthy, happy, and appeared to be having fun. Here he looks like he's terminally ill.

The white backdrop reminded me of early videos by Elvis Costello and The Jam (no bad thing), but, to me, it just didn't work at all. Nice jump, though.

[mspendl828]

Who fucking cares about a bloody music video. Get over it, it doesn't matter. Move on with your lives. It will be hard but I believe in you.















I don't believe in you.

The black one had a pink thing on their head! Like glittery balls.

they're taking the piss. I hate all these meat is great programs, there's no balance,no vegetarianism is great shows. my only perk is that these meat eaters are likely to die soon from their gluttony.

[Head in the Clouds]

Morrissey looked dead and it looked like there was a load of dogshit all over the floor !

Yeah I wondered about what looked like droppings too...

Don't talk about the band like that!:D

Doggies? I love doggies. I have two, too. Also.

Is it on youtube yet?

[Vauxhall95]

Morrissey looked dead and it looked like there was a load of dogshit all over the floor !

Now it is making sense: Decca was able to spring for two dogs because they weren't house broken. Clever them folks at Decca!

[Mentally_Ill]

Don't talk about the band like that!:D

LOL. Think that was dog treats (meat based?!) in order to keep the dogs in order cos Moz kept kicking them

[Black Eyed]

Jesse's T shirt had 'USMCR Devil Pups' written on it?

I sure hope someone does a screencap of the bit where Moz bows down to one of the dogs showing him the tambourine. Very cute:) I want that as a picture!

Didnt like the eyeshadow:(

[sd_5]

The black one had a pink thing on their head! Like glittery balls.
I didn't notice this either. I thought it was one black and tan dog, so in my mind they kind of merged into one doggy... I need to see the pink thing- most definitely watching it again! :D

Do you really think the programme planners are that intelligent? They've been plugging that programme for days, they wouldn't have given it a second thought. There is no subliminal plot against Morrissey believe me, they wouldn't have the brains to organise it.

It looked more expensive than I was expecting. Bad Morrissey pissing away Decca's money away on a video that's only ever going to be seen once. :D

A Boston Terrier and a Pug, from what I could tell? Could have been a Griffin and a Pug? In Deely Boppers.

I liked the "nobody need my love..." Moz leans to dog... dog buggers off bit.

To be honest I grew out of promo video's years ago. I'll probably watch it once more then never see it again. So it makes no odds to me.

[someofusisturningnasty]

The dogs were so bloody cute! Bless.

Simple video, to the point, nothing special...makes you concentrate on the song. Which luckily is brilliant.

[Deego]

Someone fire it onto YouTube! Please. :P

Damn, I've been reading a book on vampires. Don't want to mix the two but now the deathly pallor has been mentioned....how will I sleep? :eek::eek:

[jdbabz]

The band are in a completely white room.

Two little doggies trotting around they have interesting collars.

Morrissey is wearing navy jeans and a stylish open necked navy shirt with some ruffles.

The other band members are wearing white t-shirts didn't quite see what the logos say. Except for Boz who is wearing a horrible jean jacket.

The drum kit says refusal on it.

Solomon jumps over the drum kit again. A tambourine is chucked to Morrissey he does his thing bends down to the dog at one stage.

The mood of the video is a little sinister to say the least. Morrissey is channeling Robert Smith or Hamlets dead father with all the white make up and eye liner.

Contender for the least imaginative Morrissey video.... very possibly.

[Uncleskinny]

Jesus, remind me not to get the wrong side of you, whenst we meet again :cool:

Do you have Sky or Cable, it's on CH4+1in half an hour, you can see the end of Final Destination if you cross over now.

I'm sorry - I didn't mean to offend. I'm going to bed now. I could watch it on 4+1, but I'm tired and emotional. Tomorrow is another day.

[TheBaines]

Do you really think the programme planners are that intelligent? They've been plugging that programme for days, they wouldn't have given it a second thought. There is no subliminal plot against Morrissey believe me, they wouldn't have the brains to organise it.

Jukebox Jury

Oh no it obviously wasn't deliberate. Its just the thought that someone thought it would be a good idea to advertise the show before a Morrissey video...it's a bit bloody laughable.

[Black Eyed]

One of the dogs is wearing what I believe is called a head bopper:D:D very similar to this one

Well, what did you expect?

Moz has never really been into video's - he said the Smiths would never make one and he couldn't even be bothered to turn up for the 'Every Day Is Like Sunday' shoot

[Ready With Ready-Wit]

Oh i have seen them all, i just think this ranks as one of the very worst!

When hasn't Morrissey been simple?:rolleyes:

[Jukebox Jury]

they're taking the piss. I hate all these meat is great programs, there's no balance,no vegetarianism is great shows. my only perk is that these meat eaters are likely to die soon from their gluttony.

Advertising sells. More people eat meat than don't so advertisements reflect that. There is no conspiracy theory.

Bless your kind heart.

[thinkingcog]

I am two people about this video.

one thinks it's the same old Moz, trotting out another bare bones, barest minimum, sub DIY, poorly executed video.

and the other loves him for it :D

it is awful but that's the template he's set for himself, it could possibly be a nadir for his public image though. he looked (intentionally?) awful and sickly, but then this is the man who is STILL ill. so what do people want?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned (unless I missed it) the possible Paris Hilton reference of the dogs. I know he's gone on record saying it's not about her, then he throws in dogs out of nowhere.. it'd be an awfully cheeky thing to do!

[Vauxhall95]

As a fan, I never expect much from his videos. My issue with them is this: Morrissey complains about chart position and his album sales constantly. If you are going to piss and moan about it, then take the time to showcase your music in a promo video that is greater than or equal to the usual high quality of the music.

Not having seen the video, I would ask someone who has: if you were amongst the uninitiated, would seeing this video make you want to learn more about Morrissey and his music or would you it turn you off?

[Bluebirds]

Thought the video was one of his better efforts of recent times. Though dressing up dogs in baubles constitutes violation of animal rights in my books but well, hey could be worse could be factory farming

Glam rock make-up at 50??? Dogs dressed up??? all very Years Of Refusal to the vegetarian brigade...

Thank you very very much for your efforts!!! :D

[Scarlet1987]

Of course it's the typical moz video but I thought it was fab. The dogs were adorable and with the french theme it worked perfectly. He look stunning and very irish. Fucking hell we should be thankful, he's 49 and still making beautiful music for us and a video to boot. He does not have to bother with a video. It's not as if mtv or any other shyte music channel will play it as always.

Does anyone actually bother about videos anymore? Certainly there is no outlet for them at all on terrestrial television and MTV doesn't seem to be what it was. I can't remember the last time a video caught the general public's attention. They are just for hardcore fans these days. I don't think they make much difference.

[sweetness522]

Thanks so much Alan! I love pugs!:)

Oh yeh that shirt/ blouson.... and the trousers don't fit round the ankle area, and the dogs.

Thought the video complimented the song though, self-parody is an artform in itself, if only people care

NO! he looks interesting instead of boring, never embarrassing to me.
I really don't care if my work mates take the piss, they don't love him like I do and that's fine by me as I don't want him to be ambushed by people who follow trends and hype.

NO! with that face, voice, lyrics, music and charisma he has he's very very watchable. I was drawn to the IBEH video...his presence and charisma was grabbing and pulling me in. And pull me in he did

yeah, thats true.

[Vauxhall95]

Yeah, I haven't watched MTV or VH1 in literally years. That being stated, I don't think I'm the demographic they are looking for.:tears: Don't teenagers or kids watch MTV anymore? Is it that promo videos don't have the same impact or is it that with the internet there are more ways to access them thus diminishing the importance of music TV channels?

So was I, I saw it on TMF when I was 12 and was dumbfounded.:)

[thinkingcog]

I agree with the post about the IBEH video. it had energy and conveyed a sort of a mixture of beauty and decay to it. even the You have Killed me video had its charm, with the faux Eurovision quality that just screamed Moz but wasnt too alienating to outside audience.

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

I don't think they show videos on MTV any more. There are some channels on cable that seem to show videos all the time, but I don't watch them. If I want to see a video, I go to YouTube and call it up.

Waiting for those puppies.

[Vauxhall95]

To be fair if I saw this video without knowing anything else about the man I would probably find it a bit peculiar and not in a good way.

Thank you. Nice job.

The way some of you guys were describing it, I was picturing Moz in some frilly drag queen get up terrorizing dogs by trying to stomp on them.

Instead, all I saw was a nice little video reminiscient of "Playboys"

You drama queens. Now I really am disappointed. :p

[nowherefast944]

is it me, or does he look quite thinner than when he was on Craig Ferguson?

and quite flush?


i love that part with the dog, "no body needs my love"

[ThePersonUnderneath]

One of the programmes advertised just before the video was also entitled Could you eat an elephant? - a couple of chefs globetrotting eating various random animals.

Good to see C4 know Morrisseys audience...

I'm glad I'm not the only one... :sick:

[Comtesse]

Oh dear. I was expecting a video of him walking around Paris singing the song, kind of like the Tomorrow video, except with excellent architecture, but that video is really horrible. Talk about low budget.

Remember when Morrissey put thought and care into his videos? Little treasures with wit and charm like "Suedehead," "Everyday Is Like Sunday," "Interesting Drug," "Ouija Board..." Oh, so long ago...

[starless]

Puppies with funny hats.

[nugz]

ugh, sorry but Morrissey looks horrible!!! he looks like he's been dead for 3 days.

and is it just me or does the song sound sped up?

[9 x Fined]

I have nothing to nice say about this song or video so I'm not saying anything.

See, I can do it.

[the_kaz]

Another typically low budget and unimaginative Morrissey video, but anybody who was expecting anything more was obviously deluding themselves. As far as low budget and unimaginative Morrissey videos go however, I thought this one was quite good. There actually seemed to be a little thought that went into this video and I thought that it suited the song. Shame that it will never come on TV ever again, but hopefully it will be available to officially download from iTunes.

[nowherefast944]

at first i thought it was sped up, but it matches the album version.


he reminds me of richard gere in that video.
old and decrepid.

I don't like the eyeshadow, but I don't think he looks dead at all - they all look washed out on purpose due to the lighting. I love his theatrics while singing. :p

Loved the video it seemed more appearling to me than the "all you need is me video" even with the return of the tamborine. loved his moves! He ovbouisly still has it, not too sure about the importance of the poochies but it alll worked wonderfully and to be honest it was a break from the shite on saturday tv. Wonderful

[*EqualOpportunityHater*]

Jessie Tobias looks hot <3

Not a fan of Moz eye makeup, or the theatrics :(

His Necklace was really cool :guitar:


Vid is ok, definitely not good, but compared to some of his others, it's not so bad... less dogs and more Jessie would've made it 100x better ;*)

A actually liked his make up and his moves quite remanisent of his younger years and i wouldnt nessesarily class them as theatrics more - expression. Very natural very morrissey.

[Je Suis Julie]

The way some of you were describing it....sheesh!! I braced myself for the worst.

I think he and the band look great. I don't understand the negativity. :confused: Nobody wants his love.....

What is imprinted on the white ribbon the dog wears at 1:29 (on Allie Walls' upload)? Looks almost like a face.

[cossy]

Thanks for the upload. Disapointing video to be honest but wasnt execting much.

I notice Christopher Pooley was not in the video. I wonder is he still in the band after the rather poor comments he received from various fans last year. It would be great to see Mikey Farrell back

[Not Right in the Head]

How hard would it be for Morrissey to make a decent video? Honestly. He should be capable of producing some unforgettable visual imagery.

Thanks a million for uploading it, though, Allie. :)

[Depeche609]

Who was in charge of this video? Who friggen greenlighted the mime makeup?
Everything else was fine..I mean I don't expect much from Morrissey videos. I knew it would be some type of band performance, but didn't expect him to be 50% closer to looking like Klaus Nomi.

As with any Youtube clip you can see a higher-res version by adding "&fmt=18" to the end of the link, as in:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7_Nps1WhFQ&fmt=18

You can see his blue eyes better and pick up more details. Enjoy.

Oh, I think the death-warmed over look somehow suits the song. I think the French themselves may really embrace this song and Morrissey's unwillingness to play the "refusal to age" game if it's promoted properly there.

[nugz]

seriously. no one else notices that its sped up???

[nowherefast944]

i don't think it is at all.

ok, the video is fine i guess, but after it the 'half ton man' scared me :eek:

[yesitis]

seriously. no one else notices that its sped up???

i think you're right right. it starts around 27 seconds into the video, ends at about 2:50, making it 2 minutes 23 seconds long. on the album it's 2:30.

I didnt time it. i could tell as soon as it started cuz it technically puts it in a different key. it just sounded funny to me.

radio stations do that sometimes

[King Leer]

That sounds about right -- the UK uses the PAL broadcast standard (25 fps instead of the 24 of film or HDV), which accounts for about a 4% speedup of contents originated in 24fps, hence 150 seconds squeezed into 143 seconds.

Still didn't notice it -- good ears.

[JoyDiv007]

I didn't care much for the video. The makeup is horrible, he looks really bad. Showed to my friend and she liked, has a pug named Paris, go figure. Still a new album means a tour which makes me happy. His videos have never been all that great for the most part.

[CrystalGeezer]

It’s obviously in heaven, Morrissey is dead, he’s cavorting with two gods who wear antennae like bugs who are tapping into him. The tambourine is his crown, passed from the drummer who keeps the beat then onto him then presented to the dog if he wants it as he kneels. This all happens in death. Keep in mind as he kneels two guitarists in the background play, similar to the two robots in Beck's “Hell Yes” video who are in sync in the background. This is Morrissey’s ode to hell which is actually quite heavenly it would seem. That’s why he wears eye shadow, shadows are the opposite of light yet the whole thing takes place basked in the light of heaven because in Morrissey’s world, good and bad are equal. I’m not sure about the stone and steel. (Kebab and leest likely too?) I always thought it was a reference to the “I fell” tower, but it could be something more complicated. So Solomon jumps over the kit again and in so doing a message is passed on, in this case some sort of dream about broken teeth/broken saw blades/failing health/death since the tambo is broken (it’s a crown, those things that cap teeth) most likely a reference to just plain ol’ death, though apparently Freud interpreted it as a significant change in one’s life. You’ve made yourself plain could be a reference to VICE, according to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, “Crowns even decorated the brows of the vices, such as Pride, if they were pre-eminent, or, according to taste, of Gluttony and Lust.” I imagine broken crowns could symbolize vice, since that’s what the dog overlooks in view of the word REFUSAL as the lyric is sung. It's a fantastic video. Morrissey needs to gain some weight though, just a little. :)

Also someone kicks the symbol at the end. Love it.

to be fair, he's never liked videos or making them. he's plainly said so. i think if it's in his control, very little effort will always go into them.


i didn't like the outfit or theatrics. i loved the dogs and the simplicity.

in terms of the theatrics-- is it just me or is he getting camp-er? (i'm ignoring the smiths in that, think of the solo era). or maybe it just seems stranger because he's older now??

seriously. no one else notices that its sped up???

Having just listened to one version after the other, it's definitely been sped up for the video - and I think it sounds miles better for it. I love the intro, and it really lends it some vibrancy.

I also keep expecting this to kick in after the car at the beginning: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bRaqB61bAvM

[King Leer]

I explained the technical reason it sounds faster on UK broadcast -- it's not an intentional adjustment.

Don't mind the 4% speed increase myself.

ohh you guys!! i just got home from work and saw the video. i love it. i love how simple it is. its funny how similar it is to All You Need Is Me, even Solomon launching over the drum kit again. i love how morrissey offers the tambourine to the dog. i like it a lot more than the All You Need Is Me video.

and yes...he's getting camper.

Ooooo K... Let's see... Where should I start... First thing I noticed: Morrissey's eyeshadow and hated it... Although in the HRes video link it looks much better or acceptable. Anyway, I don't think it suits him...

As always, I LOVED his dance movements... They're his trademark. I'm crazy about the way he moves.

They, again, play games with the tambourine and the drummer does the same jump over the kit and I'm beggining to wonder if they want to leave that as a trademark that will repeat in every video they make. It could be an interesting repeating seal and everyone will remember that in the future.

Did anyone see the fake scar in Boz's face? And his jacket was unstitched in the sleeve.

For some reason I can't quite understand, my exquisite Morrissey reminds me here in this video of Marlon Brando... Gestures, looks... I don't know, but I've seen it 3 times now in 10 minutes and everytime it happened the same to: He reminded me of Brando.

Lovely part when he's saying that nobody wants his love and he offers the tambourine to the doggy and the doggy rejects his offering... Quite synchronic.

You know what? After all... I liked the video.. With Morrissey looking as a defrosted dead, as NRITH said and I agree, but still, love him and liked the video, especially because the song is beautiful, wonderful, warm and... just gets me... Morrissey I love you, as always... :D

I explained the technical reason it sounds faster on UK broadcast -- it's not an intentional adjustment.

Don't mind the 4% speed increase myself.

Ah, that explanation does ring a few bells. Cheers.


I grabbed one too for her:
