Wow, this project by artist Phil Collins looks really cool. Sorry I missed it (in 2006!) at the SFMOMA.
The Smiths were made for karaoke. Angsty, drunken karaoke done at a gay bar when you find out your ex has moved on. I think I can safely say the next best thing is Smiths karaoke by nonnative-English speakers in countries recovering from, or in the midst of, conflict.
Tragic, funny, or poignant, these vids are at the very least entertaining, and a solid reminder that good music transcends language and place and tickles us where we live as humans.
This one is terrific:
Be sure to watch it until the end.
There are lots of little bits from the show all over Gootube, but you can find a few snippets of different songs (including the above) in one video here.
You are sleeping, you do not want to believe. You are sleeping.
