Back in 1991, our lord and savior Steven Patrick Morrissey offered up this bit of lyrical wisdom: “The things that you love / And the things you loathe / Oh, sing your life.” Twenty-two years later, English comedian Peter Serafinowicz — who Wiki tells us provided the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, what? — took the Mozzer’s sentiment to heart, singing the first page of the Morrissey autobiography to the backdrop of “William, It Was Really Nothing.”
Bravo.
This is great for those of us yet to get the Penguin book, and a nice intro of what to expect (spoiler alert: we expect everything). He even kinda looks like our old friend Heiko Glessmann, too.
While we try to remember if Darth Maul had any spoken lines in Episode I, we will not that it’s been a good week for Moz and literature. In addition to the new bio, a few days ago we fell in love with Standard Designs’ Smiths as Books series, which breaks down the band’s songs into individual volumes and packages them together on a printed bookshelf.
