Watch Franz Ferdinand Cover The Smiths’ “Bigmouth Strikes Again” With Johnny Marr

Franz Ferdinand just put out their new album The Human Fear, and to celebrate, they played a set for Amazon Music UK’s Sounds In The City Sessions. It was a true melding of UK indie rock greats, as the Scottish band brought out ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr for a rendition of a song he helped make famous, "Bigmouth Strikes Again."

Along with the 1986 classic, Marr also joined Franz Ferdinand for one of their new songs "Build It Up" and "Do You Want To" from their 2005 album You Could Have It So Much Better. Some real chronological range there. See a clip of the "Bigmouth" cover and see the full setlist below.
