Every Day is Like Sunday

[heyzeus]

Last night I was passively watching Monday Night Football and there was an ad for some cell phone service where you can listen to or watch NFL games. But the kicker was the song playing in the ad: it was a chipper, upbeat cover of Morrissey's "Every Day is Like Sunday." Of course they leave out the lyric that follows, "every day is silent and gray."

I get it; they want us to think that Morrissey was singing about how much he loves football day (Sunday) instead of quiet beachside lament. Isn't there a more appropriate song to bastardize?

And does anyone else love football and Morrissey? I don't even know who to rant to about this. All of my friends would only probably know/care about one or the other.

I have a love/hate thing with Morrissey. I kind of like the idea of this sticking in his craw.

I love football and morrissey, but it's morrissey's kind of football, so it works. Plus that's a Saturday and Sunday thing.

A Morrissey song for football? That's weird. As a Latino, I figured he'd be more likely to let the song be used for futbol.

But this is one of his solo songs, so it's most certain that he owns the rights and that he sold them to the company with the full knowledge of what + how the song would be used.

Which, all told, is a pretty Morrissey thing to do: piss people off.

Yeah, I guess that's right.

He's huge in the latin community for some reason.

So does that give him like honorary Latino status?
