Moving on from the ‘co-writes’ project, thought it might be an idea to score the tracks (originally sang by other artists) which Morrissey has covered.

There’s a total of 43* (I think), so have split them into 2 batches.

For clarity, please score Morrissey's cover version of the below tracks, not the original version. Scores should be between 1-10.

Here’s the 1st batch of 21 to score, (but only if you’re really interested):
  1. Alone Again (Naturally)
  2. Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?
  3. Back On The Chain Gang
  4. Cosmic Dancer
  5. Days Of Decision
  6. Don't Interrupt The Sorrow
  7. Drive-In Saturday
  8. East West
  9. El Cóndor Pasa
  10. Human Being
  11. I Didn't Know What To Do
  12. Interlude
  13. It Happens Every Time
  14. It's Over
  15. Judy Is A Punk
  16. Lady Willpower
  17. Lenny's Tune
  18. Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets
  19. Moon Over Kentucky
  20. Moon River
  21. Morning Starship
NB1: If I give you an 'Informative' ℹ️ this indicates I've captured your score.

NB2: If you don't provide a numerical score, but state 'N/A', then I'll apply the average score for the track in question at the end of the session.

*some may claim there are more than 43 ‘covers’ but having investigated, these appear to be (in the main) intros lasting literally seconds, so have elected not to include those.

Edit: Planning to close this thread on Monday 5th June c.12:00 UK time.

So I thought, but there's potentially a further (dubious) one with filmed evidence, which I'll highlight as such when disclosed in the 2nd batch.

Is it 'Swinging on a Star' which was done to 'First of the Gang to Die' backing music sung with a different vocal melody to either of the songs but containing 'Swinging on a Star' lyrics?

I was hoping that would have been clear, but yes, scores please for Moz's cover version only.

Well, it was damn hard. Conclusions : 1. California Son is still a brilliant album 2. No one has recorded better covers of Moon River and Interlude than Morrissey

Agreed re; CS album. I always thought he could have done a great job with Born Free (Matt Monro).

April and May 2009 from memory. A nice little ditty for all to merrily sing along too. Reminds of the old days in Elephant & Castle at parties when all the adults and children would singalong to it. Along with Knees Up Mother Brown, Roll Out The Barrell and the young ns' favourite The Wheels On The bus.
