Hey, thanks Gordon Ramsey! In 2011 Ramsey used The Smiths song “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want” as promotion for his Christmas cooking show. For the record Ramsey is a strong anti vegetarian spokesperson, having had a show in the UK where he prepared foods in order to sway veggies back to meat eating. Weirdest concept ever but this guy has a handful of shows in the US and well- as a ‘former footballer(soccer you Yank)’ he sure as hell gets tons of press.
BUT- don’t let Morrissey find out you’re using his stuff or you’re screwed. Channel 4 in Britain was forced to pay a crap £10,000, or $14,000. in fines as punishment for unauthorized use of the tune. Morrissey turned that money over to PETA to finance the anti fois gras movement “Torture in A Tin”. For the record, to make fois gras geese are force fed with a tube down the throat and pumped full of food to get the liver to the the yummy state for your cracker.
