Stop Me, oh, Stop Me (please fucking stop him)

As you are probably aware, the most offensive cover version of all time has recently been released. To avoid the bad-karaoke-Morrissey-impersonator trap, Mark Ronson simply decided to take the Smiths classic Stop Me If You've Heard This One before and repeatedly bludgeon it round the head, stab it, shit on it, spit in it's face and film it on a mobile phone, then release it for other like-minded sickos to enjoy.
He applied a David Gray style 'singer' (also in a ridiculous EMF hat but you can't see that on the radio), a bunch of unnecessary strings, a drum machine, gospelly backing singers, and most bizarrely, when you think it couldn't possibly get more God-fuckingly obscenely wrong made it turn into 'You just keep me hanging on' at the end.!!!!!!! WHY???
He also made it 70 billion times more awful, twice as long, and completely removed any wit, style, charm or tune. Morrissey and Marr need to die immediately, just so they can turn in their graves. Has Morrissey HEARD this? I know you're not in control of it anymore. I know you're not. But this is WRONG.
The insipid radio DJ incorrectly stated that this cover version 'splits Smiths fans down the middle'. No it doesn't. Smiths fans FUCKING HATE IT.
Warning: if you listen to this cover verion more than three times, your enjoyment of the original 'Stop Me...' will be irrevocably impaired.
The pain is enough to make a shy bald buddhist reflect and play a mass murder. Oh yes.
Come back Tatu. All is forgiven. Actually, I love that cover version of How Soon Is Now by Tatu. It's better than the original. Hahahahaha!
