mope

The song: "Girlfriend In A Coma", written by Morrissey/Marr and performed by The Smiths.

The video: This was the first Smiths video that I ever saw on MTV. I never knew what Morrissey looked like, because I never owned any Smiths albums prior to seeing this. All of my school friends adored them but it took some time before I caught on, and then by the time I even knew what they looked like they had broken up and that was it.

It is probably my all-time favorite Smiths song, because it is both hilarious and sad... plus it is very short and catchy, the way all perfect pop songs should be.

I have no idea what movie is superimposed over Morrissey, but I'm sure a nice thorough Google search will reveal that for me.

Enjoy.
