Morrissey tipped his hat to Paul Weller with "That's Entertainment", the Jam song from their 1980 album Sound Affects, covering it for his My Love Life EP in 1991. Weller wrote it alone, words and music, and handing it to Morrissey sets one sharp-eyed English songwriter singing another.
The original had its own odd life, never getting a proper UK single release while the Jam were together yet charting on imports alone, and BBC Radio 2 later listed it at 43 among the best songs by anyone.
