e is for esteban - (morrissey) - noone can hold a candle to you : video

morrissey's real full name, as many of you no doubt already know, is steven patrick morrissey. he's often referred to as 'esteban' by his latin and non-latin fans. (if you think you know differently, please hold you 'corrective' emails, i don't want to hear it.) anyway, i feel two ways about posting this. after all, the song is a cover version, but on the other hand, it is, hands down, one of the best and brightest numbers from the magnificent 'who put the m in manchester' dvd. (which i highly recommend.) i challenge the beautiful and discerning lucynell to listen to the song, and i dare her to dig it. like, even without the sexy visuals, the song has a spirited, aching, catchy-as-hell 80's flavor. i love this one. and i think morrissey looks incredible all sweaty and expressive. he's like, a thousand times sexier than he was in the smiths days. dig it.

Morrissey is is the handsomest curmudgeon on the planet. I love how he sings the song and then requires the audience to guess who the original artist was, chiding them when they don't shout the correct answer. Go ahead Morrissey, make them work for your love...
