“Sing Your Life” by Morrissey

"Sing Your Life" was the second single lifted from Morrissey's Kill Uncle, out on His Master's Voice in April 1991, and the music came from Mark Nevin, who co-wrote it and plays guitar on it. Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley produced, Andrew Paresi drums, Mark Bedford and Jonny Bridgwood share the bass credit, Boz Boorer adds extra guitar and Alain Whyte blows harmonica.

Madness's old frontman Suggs turns up on backing vocals, and Vic Reeves recorded some too, though his takes didn't make the final version and he had to settle for a thank-you in the sleeve notes. The flip side went further down the Madness road: a cover of the Jam's "That's Entertainment" with Chas Smash singing backup. The British public shrugged, and at 33 it became the lowest-charting single Morrissey had released up to then.
