Take That b-side track "1984" mentions The Smiths

Take That sing about The Smiths!

The B-side on their new single references the Smiths (apparently!). It's called 1984 (or just 84) and features the lyric "the Smiths were riding high in the charts" (or something similar).

For the non-Brits among you, TT are absolutely enormous over here these days; by far the most successful band in the country (in terms of airplay, record sales, tours etc).
