Playboys" "Lucky Lisp" 12" vinyl, compact disc and cassette "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" "Lucky Lisp" "Michaels Bones" Musicians Morrissey - vocals Craig Gannon - guitar Neil Taylor - guitar Andy Rourke - bass Stephen Street - keyboards Mike Joyce - drums Release details Charts 2013 reissue The single was reissued along with a remastered version of his 1991 album Kill Uncle on 8 April 2013. The single was released in three versions, backed by new live Morrissey songs recorded in June 2011 by the BBC. The 7-inch single included "People Are the Same Everywhere (BBC live version)" while the CD included "Action Is My Middle Name (BBC live version)". "The Kid's a Looker (BBC live version)" was available via digital download. On 7 February 2013, it was stated on Morrissey's official website that the single would not feature the album artwork it was initially intended to feature. The cover art was to feature a previously unseen 1992 photo of Morrissey and David Bowie appearing together in New York City but Bowie had demanded that the photo not be used by EMI UK. Instead a photo of Morrissey and Rick Astley, taken backstage at Top of the Pops in 1989, was used in its place. Cover versions The song was covered in 1994 by the Bent Backed Tulips, otherwise known as alt-pop band Dramarama. The version was acoustic, sung and played entirely by John Easdale, Dramarama's singer/songwriter. Its release was limited to a 7" vinyl single, and served as the B-side to "Tie Me Down". Finnish band Russian Love made a cover version of the song on their fifth album, Gala Brutale, released by Zen Garden in 1996. Pop punk band J Church covered the song on their album Nostalgic for Nothing. Thrash band Leeway covered the song on The World Still Won't Listen, a compilation of hardcore and punk bands covering The Smiths and Morrissey songs. The song is covered by Austin, Texas rock band Gentlemen Rogues on its 2018 EP Fatal Music.
