An unbelievable clip courtesy of The Scotsman... The Smiths on a kids TV programme from 1984.

Lazy Guide to Net Culture: Stranger ways here we come… - The Scotsman

Excerpt:

This is why we have the internet.

Forget "the semantic web". Forget "2.0". Forget "community." It's all irrelevant. The entire project has been building to this one moment: a unique event that shows us the true purpose of this wonderful interconnected archive.

Here it is: a clip of The Smiths appearing on children's telly (TV-AM's S.P.L.A.T.!) in April 1984. On Charlie's Bus. Going to on a trip with a bunch of kids. To the tune of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. To meet Sandie Shaw. Who then sings what is arguably The Smiths' most depressing song, Jeane.

There's a clip here from a weird '80s children's programme called Charlie's Bus. It features Moz and Marr presenting, as the kids take a trip to Kew Gardens, where, by some coincidence, they bump into Sandie Shaw, who sings Jeane. I kid you not!!!

Here's the URL:

Great version of Jeane, by the way.

The British trio Clayhill have been covering the Smiths' 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' on their current stint on the North American Beth Orton tour. Furthermore, their cover version of this classic is featured on the August 2006 Q Magazine free CD. It's well worth checking out.

Clayhill features Gavin Clark on vocals and former Beth Orton bandmates Ted Barnes and Ali Friend. The band's next stop is Webster Hall in New York City on Wednesday. Full tour details and song samples here: http://myspace.com/clayhill
