“#Benedict Cumberbatch Plays Morrissey-Inspired Character on The Simpsons, Angers Morrissey<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Benedict Cumberbatch voiced an animated Morrissey-like singer on The Simpsons<\/em> last night (April 18). The character, named Quilloughby, is a depressed British crooner from the 1980s who becomes Lisa Simpson\u2019s imaginary friend. The episode was titled \u201cPanic on the Streets of Springfield,\u201d a spoof on the Smiths\u2019 1986 single \u201cPanic.\u201d Find two clip from the episode below.<\/p>\n

As he wrote on social media<\/a>, Flight of the Conchords\u2019 Bret McKenzie co-wrote the faux-Morrissey songs featured in the episode with Tim Long. McKenzie wrote that he \u201cwoke up at 3 a.m. in New Zealand to record the sultry crooning of Benedict Cumberbatch in London and zoomed a few sweet harmonies in L.A. with Yeardley Smith.\u201d Find his full post below.<\/p>\n

A post<\/a> on Morrissey\u2019s official Facebook page criticized \u201cPanic on the Streets of Springfield\u201d aired. \u201cSadly, The Simpson\u2019s show started out creating great insight into the modern cultural experience, but has since degenerated to trying to capitalize on cheap controversy and expounding on vicious rumors,\u201d the post reads. Additionally, the post criticizes the makers of The Simpsons<\/em> for \u201c[using] harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, a trailer for the Smiths-inspired movie Shoplifters of the World<\/em> was released. The film, directed and written by Stephen Kijak<\/a>, is based on a largely embellished story<\/a> about a deranged Smiths fan who held a Denver radio station hostage by gunpoint in the \u201980s, demanding that the DJs play only songs by the Smiths.<\/p>\n
