This has to be one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen … Morrissey alongside other popstars of the 80s competing on a music trivia game show called Pop Quiz. The fine folks at Laughing Squid managed to scare up this classic footage of Moz along side Kim Wilde, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy, Nick Beggs from KajaGooGoo and Derek Forbes from Simple Minds all playing a version of Name that Tune for points way back in 1984. I can’t really picture Morrissey ever wanting to appear on a television game show and, yet, here he is … appearing on a television game show. Part 1 of this stellar episode of Pop Quiz is featured above. Part 2 is featured below.
This is amazing. Odd but amazing. Please enjoy.
