The Smiths on a British kids' show: Stevie on Sesame Street was awesome, this is surreal

maudlinsays...

A roughly recorded gem (the video flickers a bit at the start, but soon smoothes out). The Smiths, including Morrissey and his wobbly quiff, take a bus to Kew Gardens with a bunch of moppets in April 1984, where they meet up with Sandie Shaw.

On the way, the kids quiz the band members: "How did you get the name 'The Smiths'?" "What does 'celibate' mean?" "Would you please stop hitting me with that flower?"

(OK, only one of those questions is real.)

Found via the Metafilter thread on Stevie Wonder -- thanks, terrapin!
