There is a legendary story that when John Peel heard The Undertones-Teenage Kicks he started weeping because it was so perfect. Now me being me, I thought, "Oh bullshit. It's a good song, but NO song is THAT good, and I've heard a LOT of songs." And then I heard this song. I'm not exaggerating that the first time I heard this song it made me cry because it's so f*king perfect. It's one of the single best pop songs I've ever heard. Now I get it...
This man has been the most effortlessly cool human walking the Earth since the 80s. With that being said it's not just the clothes or the look, but Johnny Marr's guitar playing is just so brilliantly unique it's impossible to emulate no matter how simple.
Mark of true talent is being able to go out on your own and have a second career on your own terms after being part of one of the 80s best bands. Johnny is a genius Guitarist as well as a fantastic singer songwriter, this song is now officially my favourite thing he has ever done.
He’s impossibly cool, he was born for this… God knows why it took him so long to get around to doing the lead vocals, he’s got a great voice, quite good on guitar too it has to be said lol…
Marr n Moz always considered smiths a pop group not a rock band. They put out their best tunes as pop singles- not on long players. They were opposite of classic rock ethos.
“There's not any sense There is no innocence There is money commerce no baby It's all an expense The way the pans are set The way the weather burned nobody” I have utterly no idea what he means, yet I still can’t help turning the stereo all the way up every time this song comes on.
Johnny definitely taking vocal tips from his friend and collaborator Bernard Sumner. Bernard be like “so here’s how you make it sound good if you’re not a natural singer.” Obviously the riff is amazing!
@Emily Finan The biggest thing I know is that he called the chinese a sub-species due to their treatment of animals, which, combined with their treatment of human beings, I am not really inclined to deny, the other and only other comment that could be construed as controversial is that people prefer their own kind, which is statistically true, most people do if you check the studies. Apart from those two comments Morrissey has always been pretty damn left wing with The Smiths being called one of the most anti-capitalist bands out there. He literally said he would've pressed a button to kill Trump, he would've done the same for Thatcher considering the comments he's made. All the while though, I find all of this completely baffling considering how Morrissey looks like a Communist in comparison to Ian Curtis and his political views, but of course, Ian Curtis is dead so he's kept as an idealised soul and we have to throw all our virtue signalling vitriol at a 60 year old man. Nice one.
I was listening to Queen on spotify when this advert came on and it had really catchy music and I was like "Man, this is catchy!" Thinking it was just a spotify ad or something, I didn't pay attention. And then came the "I'm Johnny Marr and this is my new album..." and I was like "Wait, this is a song!?!" 2 seconds into the song and I was hooked! I've never been so impressed by a song the first time I've listened to it! Absolutely amazing! :)
I really don't know what you guys are talking about? It's a great song... You couldn't have written such a greet song... Don't slag off what somebody else has done until you have mastered what they do yourself!
I won't go that far, but it is excellent. Dynamo, 25 Hours (awesome drumming), and This Tension are terrific. Every other track is very good to excellent with the exception of Playland and Speak Out where nothing much happens in either track and which sound too much alike to be placed next to each other -- it hurts the album's momentum -- but they are "good" songs too. No clunkers here. Big improvement lyrically and vocally over The Messenger (which I also thought was very good). I still think The The - Dusk, Electronic's self titled album and singles recorded around that time, and Modest Mouse - We Were Dead, may still edge this out, but with a few more listens I may change my mind.
Cool song.... very catchy... kind of stays in your head....obviously Johnny wanted something radio friendly.... the idea is still is to get the music played even on the radio. Marr is soo good , a true genius.... he can play any style of music anytime he wants. "Candidate" is another track off of Playland..... it's totally different from this song. It's soo cool to see that when most artists his age are totally smoked, Johnny's only starting to push the pedal down. That's the difference between him and Moz. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
He was having fun being in great bands like Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, The The. Johnny's career is pretty amazing if you ask me and the fact that he's putting out such ace songs right now is incredible.

Nice to hear that this was YOUR "John Peel moment" mate 😉
Another riff that just sticks in your head.
Hell yes. I have just discovered this.
@@andyjessshears6788 Congrats! I still love finding something new

Rik Ocasek?
It's the music, looks, clothes, playing, and attitude. His attitude is cool. He is cool.
@@trappistpreservesAnd the wig 😁
@@trappistpreserves ISSO eu chamo de Estética Positiva e adorável , é claro ! 😍
@@Moyetniishiswa2000 Ric Ocasek was such a cool guy too ! The Cars were awesome
Saw Johnny live last night opening for The Killers. He sounded phenomenal.
That’s how I got here too :p
@@BiancaXBlack Me three
Me Four
Loved him when he opened at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia for the killers! Me five!
@@qwertyboom9533 me five!
I may be biased but he’s literally the best guitarist in the entire world
He clearly is.
Long live to Johnny Marr!

Let's be honest. We are all here for guitar. And it's bloody brilliant.
Yes, and guitar heroes like Johnny inspire us to play!
No I'm here for the money 😂😎
cant forget bassline
Brilliant in its simplicity.
The vocals are decent too
I just realized he's the greatest alternative guitarist in the history of the genre
Greatest jangle guitarist for sure
One of the greatest guitarrist. Out of alternative genre
Johnny is a badass....
Very modern and cool! nice to see Mr. Marr still kickin' ass.
+Frost still?
+L K in the smiths he kicked ass to
+L K Also in Electronic
Bloody hell. He's not getting old.
Vegan non smoking non drinking, Icon , Johnny is theeeeeeeeeeeee man
he's only 55
Half century 😂
no hes just sooo sexy and the lyrics are so relevant to this country and tory retoric. theres no rainy that lay ahead..
Not musically anyway! I think a shot of hair dye helps the image.
Mans a foockin wizard
Aye a fuckin wizards sleeve
No matter how old he gets, this man will always be smokin' hot
He’s impossibly cool, he was born for this… God knows why it took him so long to get around to doing the lead vocals, he’s got a great voice, quite good on guitar too it has to be said lol…
Man this is good.
It's super good, so catchy what pop should sound like, love it.
Marr n Moz always considered smiths a pop group not a rock band. They put out their best tunes as pop singles- not on long players. They were opposite of classic rock ethos.
Kyle Stewart
Never stops surprising with his great songs, love you Johnny
Great stuff. Sounds like another pure ripper from Johnny. Super catchy, and exactly what a pop tune should sound like..
Loved this since I heard it on BBC 6 music. Big Johnny Marr fan, he keeps getting better and better.
Saw him open for the killers in toronto. This guy absolutely SLAPS live!
he is the most adorable grown up i know
“There's not any sense
There is no innocence
There is money commerce no baby
It's all an expense
The way the pans are set
The way the weather burned nobody”
I have utterly no idea what he means, yet I still can’t help turning the stereo all the way up every time this song comes on.
Now that is one catchy tune!
First heard this song a couple days live at Mad Cool festival...definitely catchy.
Easy money 💰 sounds great, johnny Marr 😎 🇬🇧 🎸 legend.
Britain, you gave birth to many great bands and artists and johnny..... He is awesome !
And that's my lemonade, that's my lemonade, that's my lemonade
:D :D
No I can’t un hear it now 😂
Oh, you bugger...
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Straight up ruined the song for me... thank you.
Johnny definitely taking vocal tips from his friend and collaborator Bernard Sumner. Bernard be like “so here’s how you make it sound good if you’re not a natural singer.” Obviously the riff is amazing!
wow both morrisey and marr seemed to have held their form really well, respect!
I didn't see Morrisey in this video though
Morrisey seems to have honed his form for being an absolute bellend.
This didn't age well
@@TheColossalBlanket What did he do?

Spend all your life chasing it. Excellent track, love that guitar.
The world can always use another cool, danceable rockin' tune! Johnny Marr delivers!
He can still come up with catchy guitar riffs at least.

Better than Morrissey any day. Love this Johnny!
FUCK MORRISSEY GO JOHNNY!!!
Just saw him play this song live opening for the Killers! SO GOOD!
John Maher is a legend. 👌🏻
I'm a metal guy and I admire and respect the fook out of this genius. He's brilliant straight up.
Nice one mate. I like all sorts of stuff too.
I really don't know what you guys are talking about? It's a great song... You couldn't have written such a greet song... Don't slag off what somebody else has done until you have mastered what they do yourself!
Heard this song for the first time Tuesday night seeing JM open for the Killers and it's now my new favorite song
Brilliant Track. When I first heard this on the Radio I initially thought it was the Kaiser Chiefs. Love it.
I'm kinda obsessed with this song
***** is it weird that I find him super attractive in this video? Lol
:P PRAISE THE LORD FOR SOME REASON!!! YAY!!
i find him suPER attractive always lmao
Money makes the World going around.Never enough.Cool song.Take care you yours.Be safe too
Keep rocking Johnny COOL song. Take care and be well Johnny!
I’m in this Video 🙌🏼
coolest looking guitar on planet earth
Awesome. Reminds me of mid 00s dance punk.
Reminds me of Hard-Fi
Good luck getting this out of your head…legend
Whoever he is, he's going to be BIG!!!!!
Are you crazy?! He was the lead guitarist/ songwriter in one of the most influential bands in Britain, The Smiths!!!
@108559100401450654442 Haha Sorry mate, was just trolling ;-) Love the Smiths!! Playland is a belting album too :-)
TheUKJoconna I call that "slow trolling"... So obvious, yet you still snag a couple of takers... lol
sparkymoo Come on now- don't add insult to injury!
TheUKJoconna I was about to flip out on you, haha.
Playing isle of wight festival, 🏴 can't wait 😀
The man's still got it. I think Playland is probably the best thing he's put out since Strangeways.
I won't go that far, but it is excellent.
Dynamo, 25 Hours (awesome drumming), and This Tension are terrific. Every other track is very good to excellent with the exception of Playland and Speak Out where nothing much happens in either track and which sound too much alike to be placed next to each other -- it hurts the album's momentum -- but they are "good" songs too.

Awesome! After so many years you keep doing a great job!
Proper tone as always. Master class Johnny Marr.
Banging, quality, class! I miss rock n roll
This is now my favorite song of all time, beating out Bowie Sound+Vision. I can't believe it.
johnny is the man, truly said.
Cool song.... very catchy... kind of stays in your head....obviously Johnny wanted something radio friendly.... the idea is still is to get the music played even on the radio.

Johnny Marr has written as many great guitar riffs as anyone.
Stuck in my head all day!
Johnny F'in Marr 🎶❤🤘😎🎸great tune
The guitar riff that begins at 0:50 and then again at 2:09 is ... WOW
This goes so hard
Johnny what a tune. Loved the book too, thanks you cheered up a real tough year.
Love it this man is class
This song is SO underrated
Very much looking forward to the new album. What a LEGEND! Johnny F*&kin Marr!!!
This kid's got potential, how comes he hasn't done anything else?
Kid? Potential? Look into the Smiths. He's a legend.
Are you kidding me? There's so much wrong with your comment
Troll much XD
Travis Nelson he's obviously taking the mick
haahahahhahahahahhahaha
Johnny Marr is the coolest!
Sounds great, Johnny. Can't wait to see you again.
This man is a legend.
Great track. Can't get it out of my head.
Yeah!! That´s money, money!!
Johnny so underrated, what took him so long to become solo?
He was having fun being in great bands like Modest Mouse, Electronic, The Cribs, The The. Johnny's career is pretty amazing if you ask me and the fact that he's putting out such ace songs right now is incredible.
what took him so long to make an album ang gone solo :-)
Not forgetting the other 3 guys,,one solid unit, with Johnny sprinkling the gold dust on top
new wave, thinking Blondie, Human League and Duran Duran...like it and better than 90% of shit out there today
So happy I got to see him play this live!
johnny youve got a stormer here, thats money money
Such a great experience getting lost in his music in the RockWave festival in Athens last year.🎸🎤
This song is catchy as fuck. It's one of those songs where you sing it in public without realising. Johnny fucking marr!!
Loved this song when it came out. 3 years ive had covid, heart scare and now cancer! Still on a tipping point but not ready to go over anytime soon.
He really is so cute
have you seen his son? it looks like his twin brother
Mr Johnny Marr, Superb.
love it. I cant wait to see him again live.
Really dig Johnny's jangle-pop sound and style. His vocals and cool look, as well.
He is a legend
Played on Radio 2 today. Utterly brilliant.
Bloody Marr-vellous!!
Good on ya Johnny
Genial!!! Muy bueno. Esperando con ansiedad el nuevo Álbum. Saludos de Argentina.
What a guy...
Great song, can't wait for the new album!
easy money is the best guitar song of 2014!
Great song!!!!!
I just found this ... it's amazing! Another Marr hit .. love it! Cash for a degree ... yep.
JOHNNY WE LOVE YOU WHOOOOOOO

I used to love this song then I didn't listen to it for ages like about 2 years then I came back and it's still amazing
Such a great guitar riff! ! !! !

This is brilliant...sums up " modern Britain "
Just saw him at LAKEFEST, the crowd for this song was crazy
This has a Hard Fi vibe - absolutely dig this ❤ 😊
Pairs fabulously with Cash Machine by Hard Fi ❤🩷🎶😸
Take this over The Smith's any day.
There's only a few artists today i listen to, Johnny Marr 😎🇬🇧 legend, is the best of them.
