The image has already popped up all over the internet. So we thought, if everyone else in the world has seen Morrissey naked, why can’t you? Check out Moz (and Moz Jr.?) below!

Well, if you don’t listen closely to the other lyrics.

You can listen to the song below via YouTube and if you have a strong stomach you can try watching him perform the song via someones cell phone. I warn you, if you get sea sick you may want to just listen to it in the beginning. It evens itself out about 30 seconds in.
