Greatest Youtube(s) ever? The Smiths are talking to The Kids


These are probably the most enjoyable (and quotable) youtube vids i've ever seen. Both feature the stunning combination of the dry wit of one Steven Morrissey, the depressing music of the Smiths, children who ask the oddest questions, and the constant insane happiness of childrens TV. My favourite bits? 'We're all going mad' (and his subsequent look of disgust at the small girl who contradicts him), 'Look it's Sandie Shaw!', 'A video Charlie, please!', 'WE are the Smiths.', 'It's better I think, than waving socks about.', 'They don't burp.', 'This charming man is about being charming.', 'Get their revolting revenge.' Genius. The lovely Heavens Knows... used over a montage of happy kids looking at trees is a classic moment of pop dementia. The children singing along to a tale of erotic homosexual temptation is also perfectly insane.
