It's not a scoop. I searched for, and found, "Striptease With A Difference" on Napster today. I downloaded it, expecting it to be a hoax. Sadly, it was.

There's a guitar intro, with an authentic sound (but demo-ish) for that period of Morrissey's career, that lasts for about ten seconds. Which was promising. Then the track cuts to the famous stripper music played by a brass band (can't remember the name) overlaid with the sound of cows mooing (a la "Meat is murder"). It's a reasonable joke, I suppose.

To eliminate the fake (in case the real one ever shows up, which is unlikely) its file size is 2,279,424 and its length is 2:25.

        I think we all ought to try our hands at making bogus Morrissey songs. Maybe if enough fake ones get circulated, Morrissey will decide to release the real ones...just to set the record straight. One could hope.

          I'm the only person I know with a copy of Striptease With A Difference, Born To Hang, Oh Phoney and an extra long version of Piccadilly Palare. If I knew how to upload these tracks I'd put them on Napster. Any advice?? email me at mlegge@lineone.net
