I don't have a funny line that hasn't already been done — I would have liked something along the lines of "I Stapled Something..." but let's just say I couldn't finish it — but this is as good a place as any to note that I have been putting off for years now making a YouTube video or a MeFi Music track or something that makes the case for how Morrissey has, basically, built a career around singing major third and fifth intervals, and little else:
[♪ Morrissey fans / music geeks sing along: FIFTHS LIKE THIS, thirds like this]
"THERE IS a light and it NE-VER GOES out..."
"i was hap-PY IN THE haze of a DRUN-KEN hour..."
"the RAIN FALLS hard on a HUM-DRUM town..."
"ASK me ASK me ASK me..."
"HE said REturn THE ring..."
See? Admittedly, he sometimes throws in a fourth for good measure, like this, but not with much enthusiasm, as the melodies still revolve around the 3rd-5th dynamic:
"ma-king christ-mas cards WITH THE MEN-tal-ly I-ill..."
"THIS CHAR-ar-ar-MING MA-an..."
"it was WORTH-while LI-ving A LAU-gha-ble life..."
And yes, the phenomenon persists through his solo career as well:
