The Smiths – Shoplifters Of The World Unite - is a single that was released by The Smiths in 1987. The song, written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, became one of the band's best-known pieces. It is a politically charged anthem in whose lyrics Morrissey takes up Marxist themes and makes fun of the idea of rebellion. The title is a reference to the famous Marxist slogan ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ Musically, the song is characterised by Marr's shrill, striking guitar work, paired with a driving rhythm section. Morrissey's vocals and the witty lyrics reflect the band's typical combination of melancholy and humour. The song reached the top 20 in the UK singles charts and remains a fan favourite. The song was emblematic of The Smiths' ability to combine social commentary with pop-indie sensibility.
