Harry Hill sang 'Throwing My Arms Around Paris' on TV Burp. An irreverent joke relating to the end of the awful Paris Hilton British Best Friend TV show.

On Harry Hill's TV Burp on Saturday 28th March, Harry sang "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" at the end of the show in an exaggerated style of Morrissey, supposedly lamenting the end of the series Paris Hilton's British Best Friend.

Hill is known to be a Morrissey fan, and was interviewed briefly in the Channel 4 documentary The Importance of Being Morrissey, and also sang "This Charming Man" on Stars In Their Eyes a few years ago.

  • Whenever I see Harry Hill doing Morrissey songs I'm split between laughing and cringing. I know he's a huge fan of Morrissey' but it sometimes feels as though he's mocking him and for Moz fans surely it's uncomfortable to watch. It's great that harry is keeping Morrissey in the public eye and I certainly do not dislike Harry Hill I've been a fan for years, but I do wonder what other morrissey fans think of it all......it wont change the world I know I'm just curious.

  • I like Moz impressions..remember Vic Reeves?..Moz famously 'fell out' with his chum when he did Morrissey the Consumer monkey!

  • In the 2003 Channel 4 documentary about Morrissey, Harry Hill is seen laughing and joking backstage before one of Morrissey's gigs, and this was AFTER Harry had performed 'This Charming Man' on Stars In Your Eyes, so I'm pretty sure Morrissey must know that he means no ill.

    Yet, oddly, a year later, Morrissey told Johnathan Ross that he had never seen the clip of Harry performing the song, and when Johnathan played the clip Morrissey put his fingers in his ears and looked away. When Johnathan queried him about the clip, Morrissey remarked that it was meaningless as he hadn't looked like that in nearly 20 years.

    I still think that Morrissey finds it all affectionate though.
    The same obviously can't be said for Vic Reeves though. A few months after Vic(as Jim Moir) did backing vocals on 'That's Entertainment', Vic and Bob debuted Morrissey The Consumer Monkey on the second series of Big Night Out. It was originally supposed to be Freddie Mercury The Consumer Monkey but they changed their minds at the very last minute. Morrissey claimed he found the sketches 'hurtful' and it led to a fall out between Morrissey and Vic.
