DJ comments: Morrissey seemed like the obvious choice with the Smiths, but Johnny Marr should get equal credit for this song. In 1983, the boys wrote this charming tune as the band's second single. Marr was only 20.

Marr contributed to The Smiths as a guitarist, keyboardist, harmonica player and singer. Since the end of The Smiths, Marr has contributed to Modest Mouse and The Cribs. — BJ
