Ok, EVERYONE help!

I had posted earlier about trying to get a Morrissey video on MTV's request hour. Here's the deal: Friday Feb.5th tell everyone you know and please vote yourself for a Morrissey video. THe first answer to this post with the video (it must actaully SHOW Moz) is the one to vote for. So tell all and let's give Carson Daley or whatever the hell his name is a heart attack. (and some of us less fortunate a chance to see a Morrissey video ) Lots of love and thanks to everyone who helps out with this!!!

Let's not choose any from "Your Arsenal" - on. Let's make 'em sweat over there on Broadway and go into the bowles of the MTV "archives" and pick one from "Viva Hate" or something. How 'bout "Suedehead?" I'm open to suggestions, though....

[Ian Edwards]

"Suedehead" would be great! I sincerely hope everyone will pitch in on this one. What about a video from "Vauxhall and I" though? Like The More You Ignore Me video?

[VWchc]

OK! Suedehead it is! The More you ignore me is a good song, but I've heard it's a really stupid video (still ANY video would be cool to see) So mark your calendars everyone and remember to email all your buddies and get them to vote for this video. In order for Suedehead to make the countdown, we have to beat out all the 14 year old Backstreet Boys rats! Viva Hate for crappy music!!

I don't mean to be cynical, and I'm all for Moz getting exposure, but I don't really think that MTV's Request show is as much as a democracy as they'd like everyone to think. If you got a thousand people together to request a Morrissey video, it's an unfortunate fact that there are about 18,000 hormonal preteens who'll bombard MTV with phone calls and emails to assure that they get to see the SAME Backstreet Boys/NSync/whatever video for the requisite five times a week so that their little brains won't burst.

Still, it's good idea, and I hope that it works. I hearken to last year's People On-line debacle in which through Howard Stern's encouragement, enough people voted to compel People Magazine online to acknowledge one of Howard Stern's brood (I think it was a very pissed off dwarf) as the most beautiful person alive over Leonardo DiCaprio. If that can happen, maybe there's hope yet...

(PS~ This post is in no way an endorsement of Howard Stern, his radio show, his movie, or his views--give his time slot to Morrissey!!!!!!--enough said.)

it was hank the angry drunken dwarf , and I voted for him yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh! but yes i agree give his time slot to moz...i think this is a slim chance to get moz on there but I will try and get as many friends that I can to vote it would help if you posted the site to vote.....like a link or what not....myabe I will..yes I will go look.....

oh and we must agree on a song!! before the deadline draws near!!
i say no too" the more you ignore me the closer i get"

[Wendy]

Perhaps you could ask David to post on the main page, along with

1)What's the phone #?
2)What time is the deadline on Feb. 5th?
3)Can you vote more than once?
4)And what is the cost of each phone call?

Thanks, great idea! Hope it works. I will definitely participate, although I am poor. I can afford one phone call at the very least!

ok ladies and gents,
I have gone and found out how to request online and have put the link on here....all you need to do is go to the link, click on play my song, then yoiu will go down to the bottom of the page and put in the song you want!!! that easy put in a comment if you want to too!!

I do believe you can do it as many times as you want...no charge...

cheers,

Kakarot




request the song here!

[Darren]

Cool, I checked out the link and I'm all set! You know, since it seems only 10 or so people click on a threaded post this far down from the original compared to the 50+ that will click on the original itself, I'd suggest you post this info one more time as an original so even the non-regulars here will more likely see it and vote. SUEDEHEAD IT IS!

Don't you just love how MTV provides you with "choices" to help you choose? They're the ones who set the course, we just follow. Like lambs to the slaughter, I tell ya. Ba-h-h-h-h-h.

PS: I know this means nothing to you Brits out there, but please "help the cause against" bad videos and vote with us (in spirit). It may
"take a village," but sometimes it takes an entire Kingdom! (bad Hilary Clinton book reference, admittadly, but you get the point).

>I totally agree with this idea even though we don't have a chance in hell of beating out the backdoor boys or 98 degrees or any of the other crappy rap songs MTV plays. My suggestion for a video would be some new morrissey from Maladjusted but I will vote for any moz video as will about 30 or 40 other people I can get. Remember people, even if your not fond of the video vote for it any way!!
