Some months ago I was the lead singer of a Smiths cover band at school. At a specific occasion we got to play "This Charming Man" before audience, and I've got it all on video. Watch it and listen to see what you think! (RealVideo, 12.3 MB, 3:45)

    A few pointers:
    a) When speaking, you sound like Morrissey
    b) When singing, it becomes apparent you can't (those high notes are a bit of a problem)
    c) When screeching, you sound like Morrissey, but then so does my Dad
    d) When dancing, you look like Rodney from 'Only Fools and Horses'. Oh, and my Dad at weddings.

    Can I perform at that venue? They seem very easily pleased.

      Hey, I enjoyed that.
      You looked like you were having a lot of fun (which is what it's all about), being up there, with a full band, it's like the ultimate karaoke.

      I wish I had chance to. (mind you I cannot dance either)

      Like Rodney, hehe, pretty accurate.

        That was fun to watch- and you deserved all the appluse from the audience as I know it is scarier than hell to get up and do that!

        Thanx for sharing!

            Joachim,
            This is really great to see. I love to see people covering Smiths and Morrissey songs and adding their own nuances to them. Thanks for sharing this with us. The musicians are great as well. I like the slightly springy feel they gave to this track.

            If anyone on here bashes you like Kimbo just remember most of those folks don't have the courage to do what you did. Being a performer myself I know what it takes for someone starting out to get up on that stage. I also know covers can be even more nerve wracking at first as you want so much to do the work justice. People obviously pick cover songs based on their own admirations.

            In a word... bravo.
