Next up in our Smiths A-Z project is this cover of a 1965 composition by Twinkle, which reached #21 on the UK singles chart at the time of its release. The Smiths' version appeared as a B-side of "Ask" in October 1986, and was then included on Louder Than Bombs the following year.
The song was never played live by the Smiths, and has never been performed live by Morrissey either.
Fun fact (via Wikipedia, like much of Michael Gove's "Levelling Up" paper): Twinkle (Lynn Ripley) went to school with Camilla, of Camilla and Charles fame.
What do we think?
