no a song needs a voice.

A song is a musical composition intended to be vocally performed by the human voice. Johnny's work only became a song once Morrissey has added the vocal. After the vocal is on then Johnny becomes a song writer. Until that point he is composer.

But did Morrissey create the melodies? No, he didn't. And that's why he shares songwriting credits. If Morrissey created the melody to accompany his lyrics, then he'd have sole songwriting credit(s).

I believe Marr himself had said that Morrissey would go in and come up with all kinds of vocal melodies that he would lay over the foundational backing track that would surprise them

You need to understand that there are guitar chord progressions and guitar melodies and vocal melodies in Smiths tunes. Mozzer wrote the vocal melodies.

I believe that Morrissey and Marr should get together and give each other haircuts.

I heard the story that Dylan introduced the Beatles to weed.
When Dylan heard them sing "I can't hide", in I Want To Hold Your Hand,
he thought they were singin' "I get high".
Then when he meet'em, he chiefed up with'em.
Haha. Somethin' like that.

Yeah. That's true. Ringo confirmed that. Allen Ginsberg was there as well.

Blood on the Tracks or Highway 61 Revisited. Can’t settle on one but if I had to choose I’d say BOTT.
Yes it is! I LOVE Marina! ?

BOTT is the best
And Marina is as beautiful as she is talented.

And I love Please Please Me. I prefer early Beatles before the drugs...but they can’t at any point in their careers together or solo touch Bob.

BOTT, H61, Desire and Love & Theft are my favs.
Most definitely! I was disappointed in her most recent album though. Only cared for a handful of songs. I love all of Electra Heart and Froot though.

A song does not need a voice.
‘An instrumental is a recording without any vocals, although it might include some inarticulate vocals, such as shouted backup vocals in a Big Band setting. Through semantic widening, a broader sense of the word song may refer to instrumentals.’
Instrumental - Wikipedia
debate here too ...
Are instrumentals 'songs'?
I think this was asked in another thread. Some arguments going on in a FB songwriter group with a (primarily) lyric writer saying that unless you have a verse/chorus/etc structure, it's not a 'song'.
Semantics. But, yes, an instrumental song can also be called a song.
