photograph of Rick Astley and Morrissey taken backstage at Top Of The Pops in London, February 1989. Morrissey’s “The Last Of The Famous International Playboys” and Rick’s “Hold Me In Your Arms” were released on the same day, and both charted on their first week of release.
I never really considered this song a standout, but it came on at work today and it struck me.
This chart’s context is after the jump (and here’s the chart without the background frippery).

From a gasped “yes!” to a guttural “no that shouldn’t be there” so quickly. And back again.

- “The more you ignore me, the closer I get”
Truth: Morrissey comes closer to you at a constant speed whether or not you ignore him. It’s just more surprising if you ignore him.
- “If there’s something you want to try, ask me I won’t say no, how could I?”
Truth: Morrissey won’t eat meat, even if you do want to try out a new recipe for a meat pie.
- “I like you”
Truth: Whilst you may like Morrissey, it is a well publicised fact that Morrissey does not like you. Or, in fact, anyone.
