I can only imagine what Morrissey was saying backstage, or at least when this was over. He was, and still is, very critical of pop music from the beginning of his music career.
oh god, watching morrissey from the smiths (my favourite band) listening to and identifying ''the killing moon'' by echo and the bunnymen (my other favourite band) is just cathartic!thanks for the post
I think they often picked questions to suit the panel, which they had researched. Plus the lyric is pretty familiar if you’ve heard more than 4 records.
Even funnier that Phil Lynott got the Queen song since his band, Thin Lizzy, toured with Queen 7 years prior to that tv show although I don’t think Seven Seas of Rhye was played on that 1977 Queen/Thin Lizzy tour although it was played on Queen’s previous tour.
@@gazriley624 it's a softball question for Morrissey. All of the other acts were pop or r&b that he wouldn't have gotten. All of his questions were made just for him. Echo and Nancy Sinatra.
@@cathridge I was thinking the exact same thing - it's funny how all of his questions are about Echo and the Bunnymen, Nancy Sinatra, and Billy Fury! Very obviously tailored to him!
Well said :) I wish this type of tone as seen in this video were more prevalent today on TV. It does carry a certain type of charm and elegance; that I think would just be wonderful too if this were common in society as well. Personalities that are oh so just serene and kind :)
Final round of 10 songs I only got 3! Patti Smith, Eagles & Heatwave. Wow... great quiz! Celebs were so soft spoken compared to today's rude brash loudmouths!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎤🎤 Thanks for posting!
Morrissey only agreed to be on the show because he heard Wilde would be there. He felt very cheated when he realised it was Kim and not Oscar.
hahah brilliant
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
While everyone else on planet earth would be disappointed if it was Oscar not Kim.
This is funny shit. Hope that you’re well!!!
Why do my lines keep getting stolen?!🤣🤣
I love the look Morrissey makes when he's introduced. Always makes me chuckle!
I think he's saying 'yes, it's me. I bet you didn't expect to see me here'
@@darrenmichaels9636 8 years later and it still amuses me!
Wow ! What great days and memories ! Just seen morrissey in Las Vegas 2022 on you tube god like status ,young fans just storming the stage throughout
I felt really happy when Morrissey got Killing Moon to recognize. I love that song! And love that man!
OMG Phil Lynott on a TV quiz show, my life is now complete!!
OMG Morrissey and Phil Lynott on the same show at the same time.
Morrissey on the same stage as Phil Lynott.....AMAZING
Only missing Alice Cooper to have my three favorite bands ever
I had no idea Morrissey did so many game/talk shows. How funny.
When tv was brilliant and full of proper musical celebs.
morrissey looks so tiny I want to give him a warm hug
he's also a racist
@@raya838 - Morrisey is a top man, sorry he doesn't tolerate all your butt-hurt nonsense.
@@gregtaylor6146 shut the fuck up you racist virgin
@Brit Sehnsucht go to his wikipedia page or just search up morrissey racist, unfortunately he's a massive twat :(
He wouldn't thank you for it.
Love how they make fun of the haircuts from old clips they use for the game. lol oh the irony!
No, the hair is great
@@vaguesoft8445 / ok
Yes I think we can all agree the 80s were not kind to hair dos!
@@sharonlee4773 are you saying the 80s were kinder?
@@peteross4587 Sorry,I made a mistake-I meant that the 80s were not kind to hairdos.
Kim Wilde so shy and lovely
Kim Wilde is such a rare beauty!! 🥰
Awesome! I love The Smiths and Thin Lizzy. It is cool to see Phil Lynott and Morrissey on the same show. Two legends.
The boys were back in town
surprised Morrissey would sit in the same studio as a coloured man
@@feline1973 Sod Off!
@@dougburr4192 ooooh spot the subspecies
@Will Stubbs from Morrissey? 🤣
his smile is adorable. It pisses me off when people say he's miserable!
Heaven knows ...
I love Morrissey's blouse!
locdogg18750 want came on
He said he used to buy them from the ladies clothes shop Dorothy Perkins.
@Return of the grapes.
Rik mayall
when echo and the bunnymen came on i had a heart attack
are you ok now?
Why?
Dramatic
Me too!
cresshead no I’m dead
Kim Wilde and Morrissey were huge stars, you'd never get today's equivalents on quiz shows these days. An infinitely better time. 😔
When the record company forces you to play nice with others.
As it should be!
Quite fitting they gave Moz a Nancy Sinatra lyric. He mustn't have ever imagined he'd be a close friend many years later.
She climbed through his flat window when he moved down to London.
Mozza is a legend. God bless him.
The Smiths were legendary.His own stuff is grudgingly dull.
Moz recognizing one of my all time favorite songs in the beginning 🤩
What a lovely surprise to see Phil Lynott.. ROCK IN PEACE PHILLIP -LEGEND!!.. 🙏

He loved this pop trivia stuff.And Fascism.

@@StratsRUs joy divsion, and a lot of bands played with the idea to get in that headspace. to make music. hes not a fascist idiot.
@@chrisschneider850 That's right.. a C££T
Kim Wilde. Phil lynott (RIP) Alvin Stardust and Morrissey in the same show. Cool!
Morrissey was soo cool when he was in The Smiths
This confirms my crush on Kim Wilde... damn, she was (and still is) something!
You're not wrong there...
Stunning
What a piece she was then.Too bad I was only 9
Even Mozzer was eyeing her lol
Yeah, Luis. She was and still is...not yours.
oh god, watching morrissey from the smiths (my favourite band) listening to and identifying ''the killing moon'' by echo and the bunnymen (my other favourite band) is just cathartic!thanks for the post
i love you morrissey
How funny that Morrissey gets the Nancy Sinatra lyric. She's his best friend.
Somebody from production must have been a fan and sneaking that one in, it's almost too coincidental
Are they still friends?
it's a lee hazlewood lyric

Morrissey getting the Chaz & Dave question right made my day
Kim was, and is still, gorgeous , Morrissey and her should have done a duet !
I never left the 80's.
Morrissey now lives by Nancy Sinatra. They have tea together!
Morrissey and Phil Lynott: two of my top ten favorite men to have ever lived both sitting across from each other on the same game show
Wow look at all those legends
I could watch this a million times just to hear how Mr Lynott says "Sweet"
Nick Beggs, fantastically talented bass player. 😎 And RIP Steve Priest Sweet bass player, Phil and Alvin.
I just want to go back to 1984 and marry Morrissey.
We all do
Tell me about it... I simply cannot express just how much I love Morrissey. I'm sure you can imagine, but still... Gahhh!!!
A guy can dream, I guess. haha
Nathan Clark 2 years later haha
if you'd like to marry him, if you like you can buy the ring
I'm amazed Morrissey agreed to take part in this.
i love Morrissey ! forever .
Now you know how Johhny Marr felt. He isn't that kind, believe me
Would love to have seen Morrissey sat there next to Phil Lynott on the same team. How amazing and surreal would that be!
This video makes Morrissey's hair seem even cooler.
Morrisey seemed so normal and good looking then
The quality of music during this time well demonstrated by the example songs from the 1st round.
Yes, and it's a lot better than these days.
@3:30 Funk + jazz usually sucks as funk and jazz alone are usually quite awful, but Wang Chung had some pretty groovy hits. Very atmospheric
awh, Morrissey is so cute! :3
Wow, i'm impressed, so many great artists in the same show! Not that usual!
Beggs, Lynott and Forbes.... three bass players on the same sodding team!
Against 3 singers
Wow, everyone talks so gently and quietly.
People weren`t such loudmouth egotistical arses as they are now.
yes isn't it lovely!
Later generations grew up with loud mouthed obnoxious kids tv presenters
@@orla556 Exactly! Kids learned it from somewhere! Why dont the old folk realize this?
This was just before Mark Lamarr took over hosting.
The 80's were fckin insane.
Interesting fact, Morrisey's parents came from Crumlin in Dublin, the same area where Phil Lynott came from.
One thing's for sure is they weren't fathered by the same milkman!
@@rumpraisin strange and unnecessary comment
@@ciaranwalsh3725 Strangeways here I come.
@Slater Slater. Who told you? Father Ted or Father Dougal McGuire. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Conor McGregor.
its funny that morrissey got the nancy sinatra song so fast considering he later collabs with her, and is even her neighbor in los angelos lol.
... and gay
@@sexobscura and racist as all hell
los angelos
@@fatherfintanstack8810 hes racist in the same way that Donald Trump is racist..the media told u so.
@@michaelegan5581 Oh God, here we go.
Great to see Phil there 😎
Kim Wilde voice is beautiful.
phil lynott is on your side while.. Wilde is on mine!
haha excellent
That's just your opinion man
That's so true!! 🤣
Just leaving this here czcams.com/video/1MnlJpni9Mk/video.html
I laughed 😭
I can NOT believe Morrissey decided to do this. lmao
Can't believe this was over quarter of a century ago. Jeez…where's all the time gone??? Cheers for posting anyway.
I love his face at the beginning
Nobody wears a puff shoulder shirt like Mr. Moz
So many artists I’ve actually enjoyed, awesome!
i love how morrissey looks amazing back in 84 and people probably looked at him like he was a mong but he was ahead of his time!
No he wasn't. He was just boring. Dressing like it was the 1950's.
@@spurv Yes, Moz was behind his time. Quite deliberately, too, as we all know.
Very late in the day, but the expression..mong...is still funny ! Couldn't get away with it now, sadly.
@@spanishpeaches2930 Mong mong mong...there I just did lol
@@spurv he was amazingly simple and cool. and still is
Enjoyed this show so much. Phil RIP.
An afternoon nostalgia television show...
You spoke in silhouette but they couldn't name you...
Philip Lynott. So sad he died only a couple years after this.
They seriously gave "Killing Moon" to Morrissey?
hobocakes it's a good song. crazy for me to see that as I would lousily karaoke that song and the smiths after a few.
whats wrong with that?!

Poor Phil Lynott hardly more than a year to live!
He`s already looking quite bloated and puffy-faced from all the drink n drugs.
He was still probably the coolest rocker who ever lived. A life well-lived in that case.
😥
'Dance Hall Days' - Wang Chung
Man, internet is great. This is GREAT.
Rest in peace, Mr. Lynott, you died way too young.
A legend.
He was a junkie, they can die on any given day.
@@yetivanmarshall1473 Such a needless contribution. Great job.
@@bradneylanes needless would have been my stating he was and overrated junkie musician.
@@yetivanmarshall1473 I'd wager he had more talent in his little finger than you'll ever have. And infinitely far more class
Good job Morrissey, nailed it.

Omg he was so handsome. 😍😍😍😍😍
Kim Wilde is so so so so sweet!!!
Killing moon ,dance all days,hyperactive ,in a big country ,let’s dance ,loved all the 80s music,classic
Phillo is the legend here.
Wow ok I always kind of dismissed Morrissey's good looks but wow he is REALLY good looking...too bad he's my mom's age
So this is the great British television Morrissey admires so much. That's not for children...
Hmm. I have a real dislike for Morrissey and his whining preening.
This is the most 80's thing I have ever seen, I assumed this was a parody skit, no, this actually happened!
LMAO Its understandable!
😂😂
look at the "natural" beauty of olivia newton john. she was stunning!!! puts these "painted up" instagram clowns of today to shame.
They got an outstanding taste of music
i like how they gave morrissey a more culty song
Title of clip should be: Phil Lynott on Pop Quiz.
Exactly.
Pop is timeless - I recognised all the intros
Really, pls what was said by derek, min 3:30 ??? I cant get what he says
@@gabriel1975 Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung.
@@CarynDPrescott thank you Caryn!!
I love everything about this! The music, the clothes, wish I could go back!
Man, this is so surreal!
This is great! They should bring a show like this back. I’d watch it! Love Morrissey on a game show, he looks pretty uncomfortable.
Morrisey wasnt forced to this show. He played the game like anyone who wants to sell records
So, I Google to see who Alvin Stardust is, and turns out he died today...
thanks for posting part of a show. Numbskull
moz is so cuuute
amazing calibre of team captains and guests!
Ha ha this is great! Mike Reed the perfect foil for brooding genius.
Morrissey: “I’m not sure what it is. But I don’t really like it.”
80’s ❤️
Thanks for this.
Phil, still sorely missed
"I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert."
...and sounding like Sylvester the Cat is doing the vocals....
he looked so happy when he got asked a question about nancy sanatra!
Aww, Morrissey, one of a kind he is :)
