Stop Me If You Think You've Heard A Better Lyric | The Smiths Reaction

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

This video is from January! I have some new Smiths videos on the way because I can't stop. Thanks for watching! 😎

[@strummer3162]

Your addiction is our gain!

[@stihlill6245]

Lauren, you have been warned! You are officially down the Smiths rabbit hole. You’ll never find another band as original as these guys! Love the channel!

Hurry up ! 😁

[@pgodwin38]

Gotta listen to well i wonder you will love it 💗.

[@ThornyLittleFlower]

8:56 That's something I've realized too. Every single Smiths song is great. Not many bands can say that. Something that's not mentioned much is the hidden or sometimes blatant quotes and references to so much literature, politics, music, and old films that are themselves absolute classics. From Oscar Wilde, to Shelagh Delaney, the 1950s Kitchen Sink Drama writer who wrote "A Taste of Honey," looking to this night has opened my eyes for that particular Easter egg. 😅 also Sheila(Shelagh) Take a Bow is about her. There are so many references to so much other talent. Its a rabbit hole worth falling down.

[@stinkhornadrian]

Fun fact: The Buddhist line got the song banned in the UK because there had been a mass murder weeks before. Hungerford I think it was. So, they had to release I Started Something I Couldn't Finish as a single instead.

[@Mr.Wrong1]

I saw the video for this song on something weeks before it was due to be released as their next single. Due to the Hungerford massacre the song was then pulled as the lyrics including "plan a mass murder" were seen to perhaps cause offence. I started something I couldn't finish was then chosen as a replacement single. I was unaware this had taken place and saw the exact same video again sometime later, this time with the song switched. I thought I was losing my flipping marbles... 🤔

[@charmingman9423]

One of the lesser known songs..... but a fave........ GIRL AFRAID....... heartily recommend.......!!!

[@cyclops60]

The expression 'Stop me if you've heard this one before' or 'have you heard the one about....' are commonly used by people when they are about to tell a joke. I love Morrisey's dark humour. Cheers.

[@johntrickey7182]

Hi I'm 59 years old, an American, and a metal head from the early eighties, but, The Smiths by in large were the intelligent person's band. The brilliance of Morrissey s lyrics, Johnny Marr, the late Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce. Favorite tune: Half a person.

[@Mr.Wrong1]

Yay! Quite possibly my favourite Smiths tune. Such a shame it was not able to be used as a single. Glad you enjoyed it. X

[@Evie170]

This whole song is such a great example of Morrissey's hilarious sense of humour. The title is like when people at the pub regale their friends with very tall tales, with massive exaggerations. 'Stop Me if you think that you've heard this one before...' :D

[@gerryrr93]

This night has opened my eyes

[@JontyBlue67]

Loving your dive into The Smiths. Lyrics and music are phenomenal, I'm 57 and my 23 year old son loves The Smiths as much as me 🤓

[@fellipeporto2376]

Congratulations on the channel, I live in Brazil and I recommend listening to Still Ill by The Smiths, good luck to you

[@strummer3162]

It is one helluva good line! I don't think I have re-read lyrics with any other band like I do with The Smiths/Morrissey. He's a heck of a writer.

[@mynameispaul0530]

Just found your channel and loving your Smiths reactions. I never stopped listening to them since the 1980's. Thanks for the videos. Good stuff.

[@kylewoolsey6635]

The Smiths are the best!

[@RalphReichts-jp5ge]

👍👍for the Smiths, the Cat, and Lauren👍

[@mikeford5678]

This came from the Strangeways album which was their last and as you say the sound is slightly more softer

[@alliberges]

Yay yre back!!! love yr reaction videos

[@BassistInATutu]

Hahaa I told you you would love the lyrics in this one! 😁 You should listen to Vicar in a Tutu for more fun lyrics. Or for the ultimate in Morrissey feeling it, it has to be Rubber Ring. There is one song by The Smiths you won't like. No one likes it. A few hardcore fans pretend to like it. lol I wonder if you will stumble across it? He he.

[@anterohietamaki317]

Have been fell on the floor and drank some moore😀

[@16dbuse]

Yaaaay!!! Great to see you again.

[@whatchutalkinaboutwillard6547]

More Smiths is never a bad thing

[@Intapool]

Lovely to see you back. I'm sure you'll have loads of Smith's songs stacked up anyway, but for special bass Smiths try This Night Has Opened My Eyes and That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. Slower songs with beautifully crafted and gorgeously melodic bass lines. Andy was really special.

[@DapperZach]

Great reaction video. One thing I didn't like (but not your fault): It irritates me when lyric videos get the lyrics wrong. 6:04 - " broke my spleen and broke my knee and then he really LAID into me"

[@DapperZach]

or "...really LAYS into me" - definitely now "laced"

[@oscillatewildly6553]

Glad you're back! Thanks for the reaction please do more!

[@spoonunit03]

Like a lot of Smiths songs, Soooo sing-along-able.

[@MercurtioCor]

On my Catchy list. Soft spot for it.

[@dallastropical]

you're providing a lot of happiness with some honest reactions with a polished ear

[@thewaterheaterfactory]

YEAH! Love it when you listen to the Smith's!!!

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Same

[@drdavid1963]

05:52 Careful! You almost mentioned the guitar!

[@TheAquaponic1]

Old metal head musician... But before I was a rock/metal musician I was a "Mod" through out the 80's and Bands like The Cure and Depeche were a constant and The Smiths was daily mandatory listening. It's funny because I practice other metal bands tunes to keep up playing songs from A-Z, but most all of my own music ends up sounding like my 80's Alternative influences. Good stuff, keep up the good work.

[@davidjb-750]

You’re like Manchester, you’ve got strange ways

[@Octavian7771]

This LP has a thicker, denser sound. The guitars are super layered and, compared to previous LP's, the guitars are more up-front, making the bass less intelligible. Love your Smiths reactions!!!

[@petermcdonald3119]

Lauren please listen to that joke isnt funny anymore its a great track in sure you'll love ❤❤

[@CarlBrindle]

Imo The Smiths greatest song is Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me. It has a 2 minute slow intro before it gets going but the lyrics are amazing once it gets there. If you're brave enough Lauren a lot of fans would love to hear your comments on this track. Love what your doing, keep it up.

[@AB-sy5hb]

Great reaction ! Keep em coming

[@blacklinkker5679]

Love the fact that the songs you've been reacting to are almost all on my playlists XD

[@WesleyWattley-xy4fg]

😻 🎶 🎵 Lauren & morrissey's Humour❤

[@Darkcydesreign]

Favourite

[@charrid56maclean]

I wont share you❤

[@Victor____S]

Love this song!

[@miqueiasalvaro6109]

I think you love the song Well I Wonder by them! Pretty powerful song

[@Benobot99]

Here's a great lyric phrase by Mushroomhead: Agnostic Insomniac Dyslexic I'm wide awake and wondering if there is a dog (It's quite clever. Thought you'd get a laugh.)

[@hahshshsbdhhddhhdhd]

you should react to morrisseys solo work

[@rong2912]

Stop me if you think you've seen a better cat tail in a video thumbnail.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

😎

[@tomdewispelaere4727]

May I present some new bands from last century: Morphine, The God Machine, Thin white rope, Violent Femmes. Love the Smiths!

[@renebonilla2070]

I believe The Smiths were already breaking up when this album (Strange Ways Here We Come)was made, hence the title of the album. I believe they did not record this in the studio together. If I am wrong, I am sure I will be corrected. A few standouts on this album for me are "Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved me," and "Unhappy Birthday."

[@liberatoreZ]

"Last Night... " is definitely the highlight on that album. Strangways is a prison on Manchester, btw.

[@robhensley666]

This whole record is more "pro" sounding and polished than their earlier stuff. And I think the (exceedingly rare for Johnny Marr) guitar solo gives this song a more traditional feel. Andy Rourke still kills it on bass, and Morrissey's morbid humor lands as powerfully as ever.

[@davidsterckx7358]

Have a listen to please, please let me get what I want..

[@josesanchez-os7zr]

Morrissey insisted against the opinion of the other members of the band that "Gilfriend in a coma" was the first single from the album. In my opinion this song should clearly have been the first single from the album.

[@hahshshsbdhhddhhdhd]

loveing the smiths reacts! you should react to suffer little children by the smiths a personal favorite of mine

[@garybradshaw5118]

Have we had Rubber Ring yet? And why not?😂

[@stevej1154]

You need to watch the official video for this song with all the cyclists and Morrissey lookalikes. I love it. And if you haven’t heard it yet, I recommend That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore.

[@hasve978]

Check out Eighteen Visions- Victim and Our Darkest Days

[@Razzmata77]

Honestly, you could go through the whole Smiths catalogue, and rarely be disappointed. Buuuuut, it's also going to get a lot less challenging and surprising. And Morrissey's solo stuff, while occasionally quite brilliant, and I say this as a reluctant fan, you can at the most generous call it solid. Nothing wrong with solid, but...yeah. I think you are more than ready to tackle The Smith's successors. And while The Smiths obviously inspired countless bands, and I don't claim to be able to identify the true spiritual successors - in my mind there are very few true candidates. While vocally this band is quite different from The Smiths - they're from a completely different era, and have a different sound - in terms of use of guitar and the prominence of inventive basslines, they are very much inspired by The Smiths. After a lot of consideration, my recommendation of an entry point would be: *Suede - Metal Mickey* There are literally 50 more songs of them that I think you'd really dig, so I really hope that this one is going to make a good impression.

[@MrJimithee]

"Postcard"... (Probably that's the SOUND you were trying to define) Light fingered, melodic and sardonic... (!)

[@iainweller452]

I believe they never performed this song live because they split up not long after.

[@nomisnestral6956]

Jangling. Deceptively so.

[@davidlunn8472]

Maybe if the unfortunate bald Buddhist is still feeling shy (maybe 16 clumsy and shy) the he should listen to one of my very favourite Smiths songs, Half a person.
