The Filthy Amigoz cover The Smiths
Ms Baroque was happy in the haze of a drunken hour. Which led me to discover one of the oddest Smiths covers I’ve ever seen. It’s a trifle pedestrian, perhaps, but there’s something about men in ponchos, sombreros and false moustaches singing Morrissey’s stuff, don’t you think? You can even count them as a belated Elegantly Dressed Wednesday if you like.

The greatest ever set of Smiths covers was the Ukrainians’s Pizni is the Smiths EP: sung in Ukrainian and featuring balalaikas. Marvellous stuff.

Hmmm, I remain unconvinced by moustaches; you’re on your own there.
