"Stop me if you think you've heard this one before" came from the album 'Strangeways, Here we Come' in 1987, the song originally was going to be released as a single and there was also a music video to accompany it.
The music video included shots from the iconic Salford Lads Club, all the actors were dressed and had their hair styled like Morrisey (the lead singer) as they cycled around famous places in Salford Manchester.
However there was contraversey over both song and video because of the lyric "plan a mass murder" as the media were still sensitive over the Hungerford massacare; and because some people thought elements of the video resembled organised crime.
Despite everything this was the band's most successful single in the UK; and after all publicity is good publicity.
