...To sing a non-Morrissey song in a Morrissey style (eg Kurt Cobain doing Teen Spirit on TOTP in 1991 pretending "to be Morrissey")...

if you have to think about what the question is asking for more than 20 seconds, well.....

of course it is, is this a trick question or trying to be funny or something - I'm not sure I understand this

usually when I am singing along to morrissey I am driving a car or maybe showering or working out or something

I am not doing an impression of Morrissey (i.e. eating tossed greens, cancelling concerts, throwing road managers off the tour for nothing inpaticular, making racist comments, etc.)

What a strange question

By the way, I read in that times article that Morrissey would cut someone out for the first record they bought, wasn't he hanging out with that guy who sang "Round and Round"

Lighten up Morrissey

I just sing along with his songs and to be honest I've never tried to impersonate him..never even thought about doing that. Although I sing along to mostly everything one song has me beaten and that's Stretch Out and Wait..(I sing that song like Alan Partridge sings 'Thank-you for the music')
Anyone else have this problem or is it just me I wonder.

even if i try to sing another's song
it Always turns into a moz performance.
i do it Much to often..
we all know every lil move by heart
i cant sing - but would do well in a 'lip synch'
still do 'pigsty' most nights
the songs i cant help myself to most, are
IBEH,u have killed me,london,nov,the more u ignore me and there is a light,along w` about 50 others

Last night I finally joined some co workers at the local (lousy) "Irish" pub for karaoke night. I am pretty shy, but when I saw that they had Everyday is Like Sunday, I immediately signed up. I murdered the first verse - my god, you can't hear yourself up there, it was awful! But then I tried to tune out listening for my own voice and just sang.
The poll is right, you cant help but throw in a few Moz-isms, especially in front of of a crowd. Had a great time, and the crowd loved it.

I love this question. No, you always have to do moz moves when his songs are on. Classic Moz-solo moves are 'Last of the famous..' video moves, 'November' video moves, and even "Who put the 'M'...' DVD moves. All those old Smiths moves were just over the top for me. I'm in my mid- 30's and if I tried thoses moves now I'd throw my back out. JK. Funny poll question.

Which is the best Morrissey impression Song?

My money is on Charming Man as you can throw in "Waving" "Kneeling" "Hand on hart/arm outstreched" "Kneeling AND Hand on hart/arm outstreched" "Collapsing" "Looking longinly in the air" "AIR GUITAR - Optional" "two arm pushes against thin air" "hip sways" "open shirt" "rolled up sleves"...IT HAS THE LOT!!

lol

I don't understand this poll?

I can help mimick his gestures and from what ive seen at gigs everyone else seems to outsretch their arms (if they have room) aswell.
In terms of the voice, has anyone from south England sung without the accent? "Arsk me, Arsk me, Arsk me" ?
You can hear on the Beethoven is deaf album that even the French follow every nuance of his voice.

what people don't understand.
(I am lightupvirginmary- creator of the poll!)
I feel so powerful right now.

Who hasn't in their head sung and hummed through a song you came up with yourself, but imagined Morrissey's voice and the solo or Smiths sound (music) as the music to your song? (and better yet, wished it was the next Morrissey hit?)

Is there anyone out there that feels the way I do?

what a f**kin stupid question! these polls are pointless and the questions just keep getting idiotic. get a life!

... is far superiour in my opinion. Esp. the gabriel years.

When in Amsterdam for the rott tour (lst time) baz and me sat in our hotel room armed only with a bottle of gin and anticipation and we were singing moz/smiths songs in a frank sinatra swing style ! its easy , just click your fingers on your right hand while swinging your hand slightly and just think of a song .. it works for them all . This somehow morphed into a dylan style later too . We were very .. very .. drunk !

Is it possible to show your arse without letting a Morrissey impression?

Gosh, I can't help doing Moz-ism's at all. I didn't even realize I did so until my sister pointed it out. The most noticeable to me is if I'm listening to Your Arsenal tracks and hop out of the car and into some store, next thing I know I'm singing "Tomorrow" in my head and trailing my hand along whatever happens to me on my side- a wall, racks, whatever.

If you don't get this poll question, chances are you just don't notice yourself doing it.
