Kathy Burke on Morrissey's 'love songs'
posted by davidt on Tuesday August 08 2000, @08:00AM

First with this reference on UK television (Aug. 4) is David T (different):

Room 101 is a show presented by the deadpan UK comedian, Paul Merton, in which celebrities from various walks of life are permitted to nominate a selection of things they hate to "Room 101", and Paul Merton decides whether they are let in or not.

This weeks guest was the actress/comedienne Kathy Burke (Nil By Mouth, Harry Enfield show etc). One of her choices was "Soppy love songs, because they're really crap".

To prove the point, they played named Lionel Ritchie's "Hello".

As an example of the sort of love songs she really liked she cited the love songs written by Morrissey, and quoted the lyrics to "The More You Ignore Me".

She also gave as an example the Buzzcocks "Ever Fallen in Love"...

Sound woman (on both counts!)

      A Love Song? (Score:1)
      This reminds me of when the Police came out with "Every Breathe You Take". People thought is was a love song when in fact it was "pure poison" to quote Sting. I believe "The More You Ignore Me" is more like "Every Breathe" than a love song. The ravings of an obsessed man, and if I remember correctly, didn't the video show Morrissey walking through a prison? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's what this song is about. Comments welcome, insults not!
