Song(s) In My Head

It's a double-shot today. That's because they're essentially the same song:

Bryan Ferry's "The Right Stuff" from 1987's Bete Noire and "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths.



Johnny Marr wrote "The Right Stuff" with Ferry based on the instrumental B-Side "Money Changes Everything." Look for Marr in the video -- he looks like he's about 12 years old. By the way, by my calculations, Ferry was 41 when Bete Noire came out.

Bryan Ferry, incidentally, is touring America. He'll be at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ on October 4.
