Another great song from the '80s.  This song is really incredible.  Kids, this is how music was made before everything became digitaly manipulated.  Here's a quote from The Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr about how the guitar track was produced:

"The vibrato sound is f**king incredible, and it took a long time. I put down the rhythm track on an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb without vibrato. Then we played the track back through four old Twins, one on each side. We had to keep all the amps vibrating in time to the track and each other, so we had to keep stopping and starting the track, recording it in 10-second bursts... I wish I could remember exactly how we did the slide part -- not writing it down is one of the banes of my life! We did it in three passes through a harmonizer, set to some weird interval, like a sixth. There was a different harmonization for each pass. For the line in harmonics, I retuned the guitar so that I could play it all at the 12th fret with natural harmonics. It's doubled several times."

Oh murdog, you make me so proud.  The smiths are damned timeless.  So far ahead of their time it wasn't even funny.   The only other band on a par with them I can think of:

Learn from your parents' mistakes, use birth control!

If I want your opinion, I'll read it in your entrails.

Great pick Sandra! [EDIT: forgot to ad that because of my childhood, every time I hear this song, I'm waiting for the words "Yo VIP...LET'S KICK IT!"] If you're into David Bowie, you should check out the alt. Album from the movie The Life Aquatic. It is a guy named Seu Jorge singing Bowie songs solo with an acoustic guitar. [EDIT#2 forgot to mention the songs ar in Portugise (which makes them sound more awesome!)] Probably one of my top 20 albums of all times.

Hahaha, I was expecting a high pitched voice and hes like deep as hell.
I was playing that in my car yesterday and my gf shouted out the exact same thing..I had to Gibbs slap her.  :P
I don't understand Portuguese but it sounds pretty tight.

I've listened to this song like 500 times today. Idk, I do that sometimes. I like a lot of genres of music but I also hate a lot of em too. Idk, I guess I'm well rounded.

Apples in Stereo are pretty feel-good stuff.  They did the power-puff-girls theme song ffs!

If you liked that, you should check out this project:

Robert Schneider from Apples in Stereo + Steve Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel)

Probably my all-time favorite album ever created:
