I know in some ways it is "hand your passport over" grade of offence (probably made all the more confusing by my listening to John Peel for years) but I am not that familiar with The Smiths. This said I am not sure I have heard a bad song from them and that is certainly not a bad one. It it perhaps not as memorable as some of their other stuff although that is probably more because their other stuff is used for backing songs all the time.
I had various others but as Gahars posted that all I had in my head was
Goldie Lookin' Chain - Your Missus Is A Nutter

Sadly the video and audio is a victim of 2006 vintage youtube quality but it should be good enough for the purposes of this thread.
Edit- Trying dailymotion instead
4/5 there. guitar lines are good, melody reminds me of most tracks from the manic street preachers holy bible period, so thats good enough in my opinion...anywho
3.5/5 Great to see someone who appreciates avant garde; the tune was pretty enjoyable (though it was funnier than it was enjoyable) as a one-off thing but it's not something that is re-listenable.
1.5/5 It was pretty quirky but not something I would listen to. And the mashup didn't really work that well, imo.
It was not backing music but I would have been thrilled to have it as backing for something. I could not see a conductor but if there was one then a very big nod in their direction and if that was just proper timing that requires a doff of the hat.
As for the music itself I prefer my orchestral stuff a bit more uptempo but there is no denying the quality of that, I know I say it a fair bit but on the strength of that I will be seeking out more from that concert.
The Presidents of the United States of America - Kitty

A weak piss take in the medium of song.... I do like such things but that one did very little for me. It was significantly better produced than the average one of those sorts of things that I see but lyrics did not match that.
Anyway finally got to listening to the new ZZ top album, not sure if there is anything truly stand out but it is an extremely solid album. My favourite track so far (actually a bonus track)
ZZ Top - Threshold Of A Breakdown
