I think this is more likely a pun on the Irving Berlin tune, "The song is ended (but the melody lingers on" How clever.

British comedian Les Dawson (also from Lancashire, like our Moz) had an autobiography entitled "The Malady Lingers On." Les Dawson is (was? is he still alive?) very famous in the UK, especially for his mother-in-law drag, Post Office TV ads, bad piano playing and hosting of deliberately crap BBC game show "Blankety Blank."
I'm not sure what year this autobiography was published, though. I can't find any info on this book on the Net, but I've actually seen it in a bookshop (in England).

I'm sad to say, discussing issues like this one seems kind of sad. to even consider to comment on discussing issues like this might seem even sadder.

Tommyboy sure has a point there, when you think about it discussing the origins of a video compilationthingies name is kinda lame.

I don't find it lame or sad. Discussing origins of Morrissey's song titles or lyrics is part of a broader and rather, uh, lingering question regarding his willingness to borrow or take on loan. Whether an artist coins a phrase or steals the coin is a question to which thousands of people devote thousands of pages. Since Morrisey is regularly considered among the best lyricists of his day the question of whether the lyrics (or titles) are his or, say, borrowed without credit from Elizabeth Smart is entirely relevant.
