Video Morrissey - “All You Need Is Me”

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Fri, May 30 at 10:57 AM

Everything, and I mean everything, about this video is perfect. The dude in the “Girl Wanted” shirt, the foliage, the tambourine playing, the “naked man in my dreams” lyric: Morrissey is slowly turning into this guy, and I couldn’t be more happy.

You know, Moz was always the king of the tongue in cheek lyric, but it’s almost like now, with age, he’s letting that tongue fly. Even if the song isn’t spectacular (although I will say I enjoy it much more than almost everything on Ringleader), he still somehow manages to sell it completely, making me want to throw my panties flowers at his feet for all forty-five nights of his Las Vegas residency (which, I realize, hasn’t happened yet, but if you don’t think that is exactly where he is headed, you’re crazy).

i think mozzer would do a run in vegas, just to take the piss out of the whole thing. and, of course, ham it up in caesar's palace.
