Morrissey has used George Formby's 'Why Don't Women Like Me?' and planned to use a shot of Formby's grave for the cover of Viva Hate (the sky on the back is the sky above the cemetery), but the Formby connection runs deeper. Check out these Formby song titles.

Frank On His Tank (opening words 'Our Frank..')

Have You Ever Heard This One?

I Parted My Hair In The Middle (cf:"hair brushed and parted")

I'm Shy

Ordinary People

Rolling Around Picadilly

Sunbathing In The Park (contains the line: 'All day I'm burnt at the stake just like Joan of Arc')

PLUS numerous songs about window cleaners (cf Roy's Keen).
