Reply #5: No Hippie Chick [View All]

Y'all might also remember that Johnny Marr's riff from "How Soon is Now?" was used as the loop for that song "Hippie Chick" a few years back (No Hippie Chick/ No Hippie Chick/ No hip-hip-hip-hip-hip...).

It is also the theme song to the TV show "Charmed," yes?

Now, certainly, the Smiths are much more than "How Soon is Now," and - while some might think Morrissey is an incredibly putrid depresso-meister - the songs are overall memorable (Now I know how Joan of Arc felt/ As the flames rose/ to her Roman nose/ and her Walkman started to meeeelt, oh-oh-oh).

Point being: The Smiths are an important part of music history, especially in Britain. T.A.T.U. is a flash in the pan.


"...I tried living in the real world/
Instead of a shell/
But before I began/
I was bored bvefore i even began/
Shoplifters of the World/
Unite and take over/
Shoplifters of the World/
Hand it over
Hand it over
Hand it over..."
