I'm looking for songs that mention Morissey or The Smiths in their lyrics. Here are 2 songs that I've found



"And I'm sick of your tattoos and the way you always criticize the Smiths and Morissey"



"Morissey, taught me never to forget those pretty girls who make graves, but could it be a mistake to ache? I'm Joan of Arc burning on a stake this day and age"

"We've got a table in the corner that is always ours
Next to the poster of Morrissey with a bunch of flowers"

Farin Urlaub (German band "Die Ärzte") made this reference in 2001:



"Und immer wenn wir traurig waren,
und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft,
gingen wir zu dir nach Hause,
und da hörten wir die Smiths.
[...]
Manchmal auch The Cure oder New Order,
aber größtenteils die Smiths."

The German artist Casper mentions the Smiths in his song XOXO:



"Nur nicht stressen lassen / Kurz vergessen machen / SMITHS-PLATTEN SPRECHEN LASSEN / An Hände fassen - reden tabu / Depression war nie tragbar / Doch steht uns so gut"

The German band Kraftclub mention Morrissey in their song Kein Liebeslied:



So sitz ich hier, mit Stift und Papier. Alleine. Nichts funktioniert / Was ich schreibe ist scheiße. Banaler, austauschbarer Müll / MORRISSEY HAT SCHON ALLES GESAGT WAS ICH SAGEN WILL / Und er redet Englisch und kennt dich nicht mal / Und ist 52 Jahre, schlußendlich egal / Weil eigentlich, auch wenn es peinlich ist, wollte ich nur ein Liebeslied schreiben für dich

(English translation)

So I'm sitting here with pen and paper. Alone. Nothing works / What I write is shit. Banal, interchangeable trash / Morrissey has already said everything I want to say / And he speaks English and doesn't even know you / And is 52 years old, but ultimately it doesn't matter / Because really, even if it is embarrassing, I just wanted to write a love song for you

"Working Class Jacket" by My Favorite is a good one.

I believe that Passions Just Like Mine used to have a section for this but does not anymore.
 


Harvey Danger - Pike Street Park Slope

"A community of dabblers who are vain and fond of biting backs / we hate it when our friends become successful"



Harvey Danger - Meetings With Remarkable Men

"I bowed before the avatar, he said 'the problem's clear to me, you never got over Morrissey'"
