The first in the series of a new BBC Radio Four comedy show featured a parody song “I Never Went Through a Smiths Phase” and a few other Morrissey references. Pretty good, I thought, but I’m sure many will disagree. It can be listened to via the website (at least until the new show replaces it, 11.00pm GMT Thursday 26th). Follow the link below and select “Mitch Benn’s Crimes Against Music” - he relevant section is three and a half minutes in. Link --- Clive writes: From the BBC News Site: "Colin Murray and Edith Bowman will take over from Radio 1's Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley, the BBC has confirmed. Radcliffe and Riley, aka Lard, are leaving Radio 1 on 26 March for slots on Radio 2 and 6 Music". ____________ Disappointing news, because along with Janice Long, Mark and Lard are probably BBC Radio's biggest Morrissey fans and were definitely the most likely DJ's to play new Morrissey songs on their afternoon slot. It's particularly bad timing and a real shame that new Morrissey material is now very unlikely to be heard on UK daytime Radio 1. --- MSMOZZER also writes: 'Satan Rejected My Soul' mimed in Vic & Bob Series British comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer's new, surreal and hilarious series, "Vic and Bob in Caterick", currently showing on BBC3, had a clip in episode 2 where the story's bad guy mimed along to 'Satan....' this week. The clip lasted for approx 90 seconds and contained the baddie getting out of his car to the rip-roaring start of the song then he performed the song to camera on his way into the program's hotel (the chorus was omitted so the song jumped from the first 2 or 3 verses to the "haul me in, call me in" bit). The clarity of the song was good so there was no mistaking the source of the voice. Perhaps symbolic of Moz's re-birth into the media? Unfortunatley, if you missed it, you won't get another chance for the time being as it's two repeats have already passed....

Never Went Through a Smiths Phase (Score:0)
These are the lyrics to the song from what I could make out, I may be wrong.
----------------------------------
I think it must have been
When I was fourteen
I had turned on my radio when...
A peculiar voice sang
With Mancunian twang
About how he was miserable then
I sat through the song
As he droned on and on
Like some pale, intellectual outlaw
And when he was done
I thought 'that wasn't much fun'
That fella wants to get out more
And still my friends are all amazed
When I tell them that I never went through a Smiths phase
I was just the right age
At just the right stage
Just one city along to the West
Though I could tell Johnny Marr
Sure could play that guitar
I was never that deeply impressed
My most sensitive friends
Thought I was round the bend
And started looking at me down their noses
As they sat in the dark
I thought saw that for a lark (?)
Went home and cranked up Guns N' Roses
Some people asked still startled now-a-days (?)
When I tell them that I never went through a Smiths phase
They're the same ones who gaze at me in fear and dread
When I say I can't be asked with Radiohead (?)

And a question: what's that comment about the Happy Mondays' song? I couldn't quite catch it.
