Panic was released as a single in 1986 & was the first recording to feature new member Craig Gannon. It was later released on the compilation albums The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs.
Lyrics
Panic on the streets of London
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again?
The leeds side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the grasmere
But honey pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play
On the Leeds side-streets that you slip down
The provincial towns you jog 'round
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ
Hang the DJ
#TheSmiths #Panic #LouderThanBombs
I 99.8% matched with this band
Uevrek I 100% matched with them! Fuck coach and FUCK THE SYSTEM!!!
i get the reference haha
Uevrek Don't call Smiths just "band"
bad
Go away
This seems like a good time to listen to this.
;-)
I wondered...
great to have Dublin name checked here and so prophetic
Rest in peace Andy Rourke. A very underrated bassist.
Yessss😢
Forever Andy and The Smiths!!!
Andy Rourke=Geddy Lee!!!!!
One thing Andy Rourke wasn't EVER to Smith's fans......underrated.👍
The secret weapon
"The music that they constantly play... it says nothing to me about my life..."
This is totally modern!!!
Lol, really relevant with todays music
But what if they play this song? Checkmate.
@@RetepAdam This song literally contains the lyrics "nothing to me about my life", so if this song were played, it would be saying 'nothing to me about my life', thus the message still stands as correct ;)
What? There are no straight lines or primary colors!
This song says loads to me. Effing banging tune, but 1 wud expect nothing less from the smiths.
"I wonder to myself, could life ever be sane again"
Talk about relevant lyrics today.
I got almost 35 years asking me this question
😆😆😆😆😆
It's been over a year and we're still ill...
Now its "panic in the streets of the world" 🤔
You beat me. Was going to point the same thing.
If it's been asked like this for a while, then has life ever been sane at all?
This song seems more relevant now than ever
The Smiths were my era...but that black mirror episode was so beautifully made...brought a true tear to my eye...pure genius
bro like, i watched it 5 minutes ago. i dont know what to say lol..i want talk to someone. i searched everything about hang the dj episode and.. yeah xd. probably the best episode in black mirror. ❤
Which ep

Such an amazing song. THANK YOU BLACK MIRROR.
RŮDE I directly searched this after watched the episode
same!
RŮDE same
Angga Irawan really great episode
Wow Johnny Knoxville and Jackass introduced me to this song years ago. Kids today smh lol
Relevant now
One of the only bands I could listen to 24/7 365 and never get sick and tired of
Same here
You got that right James!
Me too.
Agree with u
but I still would want to have some BBQ and sex once and a while..
Defo panic on the streets at the minute.
Dont go outside.
I love his voice. Such a distinct voice with his warm dialect. Bands like the smith's is hard to find these days.
The killers is the closest
Agere with u...these days..i cant find music that I can listen over and over....sad
Hard?? Try IMPOSSIBLE to find.
They is
@@comfy__ nowhere near mate. No slight on the Killers but the Smiths are in a league of their own.
“As there have been reports of...”
*Panic on the streets of London*
“Serious attacks on...”
“People as they are literally...”
“Eaten alive”
Yeahhh boiii
"Police reports are Sketchy but one common detail is that the attacks in all cases seem
To be.."
The theme for UK August 2024
There is literally panic on the streets of london
That's why i came to hear it again
1. Change name to Hank
2. Become a dj
3. Play this song everywhere I go
4. Succes
Amber Dallinga Hang the DJ
david taylor Yeah I know, but it kinda sounds like he's singing Hank
Amber Dallinga lmaooo I dig it
You didnt know, we all know that. But nice recovery, at least you tried.
Ewan That's quite rude to say. I did actually know, I love this song and listen to it a lot, so it would be kinda weird if I didn't know the lyrics. I was trying to make a joke, I was pretty sure you are allowed to make jokes on the internet. But if you are so offended by my attempt at humor that you have to resort to calling me a liar to feel better about yourself, I will take note that I'm not permitted to have a laugh.
"Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ/Because the music that they constantly play/It says nothing to me about my life" brilliant
@gablen23 Which is why I didn't like that music much. Besides, in the nightclubs, it sounded worse than it did on the radio and television. The volume was too loud, and the bass turned up too high. It was OK occasionally for the music itself. The Pet Shop Boys wrote It's Alright about the escapism in that kind of music.
"could life ever be sane again?" Morrissey as usual hits the nail on the head. It feels like every day we drift even further from sanity, and this song becomes even more relevant.
I was listening to this in nightclubs in the 1980s and was given a flashback looking at the riots in Dublin tonight.
So true. The lines "Because the music that they constantly play, says nothing to me about my life" are the ones that I love the most because it's so true for me. I feel so disconnected from popular media and culture and the stuff that is going on I cannot relate to anyway, it's like an alien world and I say that as someone who is still pretty young being 29 almost 30 in a few months time. I remember feeling like this as a teenager and the feeling has only increased as I've gotten older.
Bro the song is about Jimmy savile, use your filbert
@@CovKid2K10 Is it though? based on what information? i've only seen one article that speculates that.
@@mozzer8234listen to almost every lyric and line of the song. Leeds, jogging, house in the lakes, kids singing hang the dj. Need I say more. Every line has a direct reference to the guy.
The way he rolls the r in "provincial" is my favourite bit in the song. Morrissey is truly one of a kind!
The DJ: *starts sweating*
🤣
I remember the late Mike Smith saying they don't mean a DJ like me do they, oh yes exactly DJs like you mike.
@@robrix9330 could u explain that a little simpler please
@@hayfordsarfo1646 Morrissey was thinking of the Radio 1 djs in the UK who were generally a team of tossers Peelie, + a couple of others aside. Sadly Mike Smith was exactly the type of bloody awful djs who were poisoning the airwaves back then.
@@robrix9330 so what does the song mean then if “hang the dj” isn’t about hanging actual djs😂
I’m here because I lived through the 80s and loved The Smiths and The Cure. Their music helped me survive my teens..
I couldn't have survived h.s. without the cure and the smiths. In 8th grade(93) I was introduced to "alternative" music by one of my friends older sister and it was true love.
@@soundpilatesandyoga8531 That's beautiful ❤
This music was college survival for me.
Don't forget the cold war fears and the cheap drugs
Good for you.
Why cant music be this good
This is music 😉😂
Best use of the word “provincial” is any song, ever.
Seriously haven't been affected by a band like this since Jim Morrison and The Doors. Every single song has an incredible rhythm and beat, while the lyrics are so incredibly meaningful you can't help but relate them to your own life. What more could you ask for?
Excedium65 Johnny Marr is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Couples with Morrisseys brooding lyrics, its a great partnership.
please, for respect say The Doors, not jim &....
ian curtis
Man, Exact! i love Doors and i discovered Smiths this last Month... The voice of Jim and Morrisey for me is same Voice style. I love grave Power voices!
Great minds think alike. You may be my soulmate 😂😂
Morrissey's hips in this video are everything.
Yeah baby! And I have been in the same room as him......Twice!
I am so jealous!!!
Lauren Russell
Well being a Mancunian myself there is definetly a market for strange slighlty odd hip twisters from Madchester as my Yorkshire girl friend keeps telling me. She calls it the Gary Barlow affect or as I like to call it, the Robbie Williams syndrom. lol
Elvis impersonation, with a little more flare. lol

" flare " LMAO
Rip Andy.God Bless.🙏
Thankyou, Sean of the Dead, for shedding light on this piece
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique artists such as the Smiths and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
Since 60 AD, really
Well, thank you, Benedetto and Sicily.
On ya mate
@@whiteprideisnotacrime1685 your idea of a country being dead is pretty stupid and pathetic, and you have the cheek to insult other peoples intelligence
@@meislouis1381 ignore that daft old racist. The irony of him making his comment on here when Morrissey is the son of Irish immigrants would be lost on him, I'm sure.
Johnny Marr is the coolest man on earth. It is official. And this video proves it.
Johnny Marr was easily the most talented in The Smiths. And as much as I like Morrissey's voice and writing, he is a massive bellend...
***** Brilliant.
"who hasn´t done shit since he quit The Smiths"
The Messenger (2013)
Playland (2014)
Check em'
Did he or did he not release something?
I believe you said that he never released anything since The Smiths"
Mark Taylor I agree. No-one cooler than Johnny Marr.
Mark Taylor Fuck Ya!!!! Total fuckin genius!!!
Panic 😱 on the streets for real, here in uk (August 2024)
Rest in peace, Jimmy Savile. What a dedication to the Leeds DJ who caused mania and panic across the nation! 👏
It’s crazy to think a lot of people think this song isn’t about him when it’s clear as day😂
@CovKid2K10 I never knew that,
What a complete bastard! Oi! Saville....No!!!
"Pareidolia on the streets of London!"🎶
I Love The Smiths and I love this song but wouldn't it have been better if, having prior knowledge of serious, criminal s*xual abuse, the band contacted the authorities rather than composing a catchy song and pocketing the royalties? And therefore profiting from the misery of others?
The Leeds side streets you slipped down, provincial towns you jogged round
Frank and Amy Together Forever! Rebelling against the system and choosing to be with one another. I love those two and this song.
Simon James No disrespect to you or your opinion but I really didn't like that episode. One of the worst BM episodes if you ask me.
I like when they explore some of the more mundane applications of being able to simulate a human mind. It's kind of a more light-hearted take on the concepts explored in 'White Christmas'.
Yeah, great song and great episode. The episode hearkens back to San Junipero in many ways. I had been wondering when I started to watch the episode if there would be a reference to the Smiths--and boy was I happily surprised.
Well they only THINK they're rebelling against the system
in truth they were doing just as prorammed 998 times
I enjoyed this one but found San Junipero really boring.
100 years from now this will still sound current and relevant, like a timeless classic
Imo the best song The Smiths ever did
agree
Thanks to black mirror
Español por favore
in 99.8 Years you mean ;)
Thank you, Andy, for burning down the disco. RIP
The pressure to go to the disco or night club was relentless. It continued into my 40s. There was a code for it which was 'going out' as if going to the cinema, theatre, pub, restaurant or a concert wasn't going out. I would rather have something to look at than 'jig' in a disco. If you looked at someone for more than a second you would get threatened yet the same people had been staring at you for ages. I would hardly call how they moved on the dance floor dancing. I have seen wilder dancing at rock concerts including the Smiths.
Which is why I preferred to watch a film or live performance such as a play, musical, concert or dance recital. I got back into going to rock concerts to get that pressure off my back.
My sister used to play this song often like really loud but instead of anger I feel nostalgic because my sister recently left for university I’m 12 and the smiths were a big part of my life
I always search "hang the DJ" to find this lol
X2
just did the same. everytime.
X3
Used to always think it said “I’m the DJ “ lol
....the bless of dj....
Black Mirror is educating people on proper music.
You should educate yourself actually.
He's right, the implication is that without these fucking box sets and netflix crap, no one would look into music from the recent past. very depressing.
@@thewomble1509 Is watching movies or series not a way to get cultivated ? I discovered dozens of songs thanks to that, plus how do you define "educate yourself" ? Do you mean the only way to learn about the Smiths is to open a musicology book to ? That is a non-sense, learning something is good no matter what the way used to learn it !
@@nfbnn If you are watching a box set or TV series your first consideration isn't finding some new or previously undiscovered music. I'm all for serendipity but it saddens me that so many people now just will not go and seek things out for themselves. Nothing personal ,just my opinion.
@@thewomble1509 You are presuming that people who discovered this song via Black Mirror don't do what you preach, plus even if it's the case, they may be interested in others things, we can't seek for everything on everything.
(and The Smiths is not a more proper band than today's ones...)
We need Morissey now more than ever
The end of this episode makes me wanna cry, and I'm having this song on the playlist at my wedding next year
Congratulations in advance😁
Even though this song is about uprising, rebellion and anarchy, it totally fits well for a wedding! 😆
That should be some reception!
Hope still married in 2022
Hope you had a great day👋
The second I saw the title "Hang the DJ", I thought to myself "Man, I hope the song's in it". So glad it was.
One of the greatest British pop songs ever made. It has everything a pop gem needs. An instantly recognizable opening, a hypnotic repeating guitar riff. easy to learn lyrics , sing-a-long anthemic chorus backed by schoolchildren at the end.
Greatest1979 YES
The combination of Morrisey and Jonny Marr was up there with Lennon and Mcartney and Jagger
And Richards...
It wasn’t a pop song
@@15081972ablewhat was it then? this is pop music
Morrissey's dance at the last part is one of the all time iconic moments in rock, as subtle as it is.
Panic in the streets of England.
Haha you came here too?
Change disco to refugee center. It's taken long enough. No better time than now.
30 years today!

Im here because Edgar Wright's sense of comedic timing
that's sad.

Same here
Gracias por el dato, nos tenías con el pendiente. xd
Mungo recorded a whole cassette with just this 1 song for James. That's the sweetest gift ever. I'm usually not a man of novels, but my god, Young Mungo is out of this world.

"We'll have a nice a cup tea and wait for this to blow over."
two sugers in mine please
Sad,sad film. Heartbreaking.
As a Mexican-American man living in Los Angeles I have this compulsive stereo-typical need to like Morrissey/The Smiths.
When I went to Mexico I saw cabs with Morrissey/The Smith painted on them. It was so weird as I come from the same area Morrissey is from and was into this music growing up, and the two cultures seem worlds apart, yet it was big there. I wondered what made it click in Mexico?
Robert J. Williamson Morrissey's voice sounds like a famous Mexican singer named Juan Gabriel. Morrissey lives in Los Angeles where the Mexican community is big, too.
***** Im LA homegrown too! and Mexican American and I grew up LOVING British New Wave among other type music and YES The Smiths, Cure, Bunnymen, Erasure, Bronski Beat ect were SO HUGE in Mexico when I would visit. Funny though I have NEVER made that Juan Gabriel connection with Morrissey. I still don't but what eves, I dig this music A LOT!! :)
***** Their voices are similar. That's all I was saying.
Robert J. Williamson So in the whole L.A you can see they r very famous and loved until nowadays. I would tell u over ther to give the true value to whath u have in the back yards. ;)
I’ll never listen to this song the same way once the lyrics align with Savile
I resonate with the last quarter of this song deeply whenever I hear Chris Moyles
Seriously, how great is this song? There’s a catchy as anything verse at the start, then an incredible guitar riff, an amazing chorus, and that’s it! Nothing really repeated except the coda, just some incredible creature in passing...
Demons 2 soundtrack as well love it
Listen to Metal Guru by T.Rex. It's the same song.
@@ATMFC I do hear the similarity to the verse in terms of rough chord progression and vocal melody. And I do really like T Rex. There is quite a bit more in Panic though, particularly as it moves from the verse.
It's about Jimmy Saville
@@alasyon Morrissey's solo single Certain People I Know was also based on a T. Rex song, this time Ride A White Swan.
HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LOVE THE SMITHS? U GOTTA BE INSANEE
i think a lot of people who love them consider themselves insane XD
Steve Wright. The song is a dig at him for playing I’m Your Man by Wham! on his show after the breaking news about the Chernobyl Disaster as well as about Savile’s shocking behaviour.
Probably the best album for someone that hasn’t heard the Smiths, or doesn’t care for them, to give a listen to. There’s nothing like this Manchester super group (at the time, or ever).
THE SMITHS..... What an era.....
Everybody gangsta till the DJ start playing this
Lmfao.
2019: the music that they constantly play,
Says nothing to me about my life.
Who’s watching in 2024 . Brilliant brilliant brilliant 😍
Me, never tire of this band
Never stopped mate👍👍 From Ireland 🍀🤞
Io ! 👍😊😊🍷🍷
I just finished the hang the dj episode, I'm crying happy tears, i love this so much, all the best Frank and Amy
whos here because they actually know and like the smiths.
You're still not cooler than the rest. You must actually know that.

And fucking loved that episode of black mirror 500% more because of that?
BrixItz I’m old and we had the best music

Not really. Kids getting terminal diseases, for example, doesn't seem very well reasoned to me.

Lauti Domi That's really comforting 😦
WOW!!! Fresh air to the 80s music.... Manchester's sound.... Manchester's bands
One of the greatest contributions to a piece of exposition in the history of film.
The year was 2000, I was eight years old watching Jackass when I heard this masterpiece and became a fan of the smiths ever since. Thank you Chris Pontius as Roller Bobby.
it's 2015 and the music they constantly play. It says nothing to me about my life.
+Patrick Bateman V.P yeah, thats todays pop music guys. Completely void of any meaning, only made for casual mass consumption. Art doesnt matter anymore. The "artists" dont write the lyrics, and their voices r so auto tuned its barely their actually voice.
+Cobain Fan Est 2002 Are you actually a fan of Kurt Cobain since 2002? Nothing wrong with that... I wish you were around when he was alive, like I was... you would've loved it! But that's cool anyway.. not many people even my age that remember him
There is still very good music today, very meaningfull, you may not find it on the radio, but it is there.
Poop Poo the point I think normal folk like him make is that it should be on radio 1 rather than radio 6. It’s up to the consumer to kill the DJ (metaphorically, I’m not calling for actual homicide) and buy good artwork rather than stick men
2018 , and the music that they constantly play says nothing to me about my life.
Says nothing to me about my life! Superb 👍🏻🏴
I have no idea who this Hank guy is, but it really does sound like he's a really good DJ! I'm glad he has so many loyal fans
His moves are absolutely random. He's like...I have no idea what I'm doing...but they've told me to dance...so I'm dancing
Gotta love Morrissey.
you think so ? check out some video of Vince Taylor.
That man's dancing will make any girl 99.8% match with him
He lost his faith in womanhood so he wouldn't match back.
RIP Wrighty
Awesome, thank you! The Smiths forever and always.. I can’t imagine how I’d feel if Morrissey dies… Rest In Peace Dusty Hill
I'm here for THE SMITHS.
this is hypnotic...
yeah...wtf is that
Hungry Hippy fr I swear this song makes me instantly relaxed and I don't know why
Absolutely
i miss the 80's so much it's unreal
I have always Loved The Smiths. It took you folks far too long to catch on
This song hits different dec 2020...
Man this song always evokes feelings of nostalgia. The 1980s were so much saner and simpler than today.
Dad dancing extraordinaire
Of an era, but still relevant?
- Now that's class!
One of my favorite '80s songs from one of my favorite '80s bands...at times I'll play it a dozen times in a row because I never grow tired of it
Have no clue what everyone is talking about in the comments, I just love the smiths.
RIP Andy Rourke
I remember dancing to this not ten years ago. Love it
I'm 14 and I find this song brilliant

Made my day
I'm a DJ and I approve this message. As well as this tune
Let the hanging begin 😂 Calvin first! 😝
"Don't hate the player, hate the game." - Whoever the hell said it first
From Wikipedia: A story circulated as the basis for the song is that days before recording the song, Marr and Morrissey were listening to BBC Radio One when a news report announced the Chernobyl disaster. Straight afterwards, disc jockey Steve Wright played the song "I'm Your Man" by pop duo Wham!. "I remember actually saying, 'What the fuck does this got to do with people's lives?'" Marr recalled. "We hear about Chernobyl, then, seconds later, we're expected to jump around to 'I'm Your Man'". While Marr subsequently stated that the account was exaggerated, he commented that it was a likely influence on Morrissey's lyrics.The band even commissioned a t-shirt featuring Wright's portrait and the phrase "Hang the DJ!"
And I say shame on you Steve Wright. But thank you for letting this song come to life :)
A workmate told me something similar about 15 years ago. But pretty sure I was told it was because of all the shit chart music and the fact that Steve Wright had been slagging them off.
my 80's memories, right there, so glad i know The Smiths, then and now kids!
Absolute great legendary classic timeless forever 😊😊always.
London, Leeds, Birmingham, Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, Humberside...he certainly knew how to appeal to his fanbase! ;-)
I was actually wondering about how the title would play out in the episode and then it was the song that was playing when they met -like really met- and I started bawling I was not ready for this.
One of my fav parts of that episode is realising how the title fits with the episode. That moment made the episode my fav this season.
On another note I have no clue how the episode title 'Crocodile' had anything to do with the episode.
CBA Fantham Ah that makes sense. That was another good episode. Felt like the typical depressing storyline I've come to expect of Black Mirror.
Really? I'm only 5 episodes through the season but I wouldn't call it the worst. USS Callister was pretty good and so was Hang the DJ and Crocodile. The helicopter parenting was a bit dull and Metalhead was probably the worse one.
I think season 2 was the worst. White Christmas was an exceptionally good episode though.
Just watched the finale. I'll agree it was cliche. The twist could be seen a mile away. I think the season was still good. The story of the pain loving Doc was pretty good.
CBA Fantham Yeah picked that up from the credits.
"Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over."
