I've never listened 2 Morrissey but I love this track. It's definitely one of my favourites on the album, along with "The Thrill of this Love," "Mean Sleep," "Daredevil Baby" and "Hole in my heart"

biggrin

Yes, I own "On The Jungle Floor", and when I listen to that song I don't think of my other hero's vocals. It just sounds like Van's trying to do some Rock vocals or something. shrug

It definitely has the flavor of an 80's-alt ditty.

I get more of a Ric Okasek/The Cars vibe from that song

I don't hear the resemblance, but I'll say again that "At the End of a Slow Dance" is the best track on that album.

OK, so what I did was listen to a Smiths song and afterwards listened to Van Hunt's sexy lil' ditty to compare and contrast. There's still a very big contrast. I don't know what y'all are thinking but Van really doesn't sound like Moz. He just sounds like.....him. Or maybe Lenny Kravitz, I don't know. shrug

But I think I know where you're coming from. I think you were listening to the way Van drags the lines in the song which is something that Moz does.
