Syd Barrett (early Pink Floyd) just stood in front of the mic and didn't sing on one Top of the Pops (a show known for it's miming). Morrisey (The Smiths) used a bunch of flowers as his "mic".

I remember 1980 when we were still in the UK and Iron Maiden made the headlines because they flast refused to mime (I'm running Free) on TOTP.

Muse did a good job of that. ps, I just had to have another look at M & V's balls up on youtube.

This is my favourite... watch the "playing"... he kills the vox!

lmao..............that was his "Morrissey" performance.

Best opening lyrics fullstop.
