Simple Minds on 'Don't You (Forget About Me)': Morrissey should have done it - Digital Spy
Excerpt:
"It was great fun, and then we met John and apart from the whole movies thing, he was such a music fan. Strangely enough he was such an English music fan - Psychedelic Furs and The Cure and Morrissey.
"In fact the other day I was thinking it was really Morrissey that should have done 'Don't You (Forget About Me)'. On his death bed, he would never do it, but that kind of lyric... It wasn't really a Simple Minds thing.
"But musically I think when you hear it coming on the radio, I think we put our Simple Minds heart into it. It'll never be one of ours, but in a way it's a song that belongs to everybody now. It's not bad to have one of them either."
