Stream new Moz single at BBC Radio 1

Head to bbc.co.uk/radio1/zanelowe, click "Hear Monday's show", hit the 5min-skip button five times, sit thru Supergrass, then "That's How People Grow Up" starts at the 16:28 mark. Kristeen Young wailing during the intro is just ridiculous.

You can also watch the Letterman performance from back in June.

So what do ya say? I'm thinking Moz's worst single ever:

1988

• "Suedehead"
• "Everyday Is Like Sunday"

1989

• "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys"
• "Interesting Drug"
• "Ouija Board, Ouija Board"

1990

• "November Spawned A Monster"
• "Piccadilly Palare"

1991

• "Our Frank"
• "Sing Your Life"
• "Pregnant For The Last Time"
• "My Love Life"

1992

• "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful"
• "You're The One For Me, Fatty"
• "Tomorrow"
• "Certain People I Know"

1994

• "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get"
• "Hold On To Your Friends"
• "Interlude"
• "Now My Heart Is Full"

1995

• "Boxers"
• "Dagenham Dave"
• "The Boy Racer"
• "Sunny"

1997

• "Alma Matters"
• "Roy's Keen"
• "Satan Rejected My Soul"

2004

• "Irish Blood, English Heart"
• "First Of The Gang To Die"
• "Let Me Kiss You"
• "I Have Forgiven Jesus"

2005

• "Redondo Beach"

2006

• "You Have Killed Me"
• "The Youngest Was The Most Loved"
• "In The Future When All's Well"
• "I Just Want To See The Boy Happy"

And btw, here's the tracklist for the new singles comp, which includes another new (slightly less weak) song "All You Need Is Me."

Awful, yes, but "Dagenham Dave" set the bar pretty high (low?).

[torr]

"Dagenham Dave" is miles better than this new single, and hey, it was backed by "Nobody Loves Us" and "You Must Please Remember", two songs which are leagues better than anything Moz has done since Quarry.

[sfenn]

Certainly not among his best. I'll have to give it a few spins to see if it's a grower. I don't think it's as bad as 'You Have Killed Me' and 'Dagenham Dave' - 'Nobody Loves Us' should have been the single on that one. Easily one of my favourites.

Still brilliant. And thank you.

[xolondon]

I hated Ouija so it HAS to be better than that.

I don't know Nobody Loves Us or You Must Please Remember... hint hint.

[Isaac]

Oi. How can the wail at the start be *ridiculous*? It hasn't got any lyrics, and as Kristeen Young vocalizations go it isn't particularly idiosyncratic. It's just a slice of Formal Training.

Yanno what's less defensible? The cowbell.

[torr]

nothing worse than being formally trained.

p.s.
but you're correct, the use of cowbell is just incredibly lame.

[Ben]

You lot really are set in your ways.
Give it another listen.
And also, cowbells are the way forward.

[Kevin]

I Love it. Fantastic. Hope to hear it soon on daytime radio..

[gonzax]

Fantastic song and the other new one is equally amazing. He should have kept both for his new album and not for another shitty compilation.

[MozMan68]

Are you all high or just clinging to the past and nothing anyone ever does that's new is ever good.

I think All You Need Is Me is "classic" Morrissey and brilliant.

[Matt]

Easily it looks like 2004 was the best year for singles - all 4 were mega!

[madonna]

what the fuck do you know?!? Youre supporting John Edwards... NUF SAID!

It's a good song.

[johnny]

it's sooo formulaic! :-(((

Try something different, MOZ! Be Brave! ;-)
