This sound clip is from:

"The Smiths - Paint A Vulgar Picture" is not a movie or a television show but rather a song by the British indie rock band, The Smiths. Released in 1987, this track is featured on their fourth studio album, "Strangeways, Here We Come". The band members of The Smiths include Morrissey (vocals), Johnny Marr (guitar), Andy Rourke (bass), and Mike Joyce (drums). "Paint A Vulgar Picture" is a sardonic commentary on the music industry, specifically focusing on the exploitation of deceased artists for profit. The lyrics depict the callous nature of record companies who shamelessly market posthumous releases, merchandising, and memorabilia to capitalize on the success of once-popular musicians. The song's melancholic melody and Morrissey's distinctively haunting vocals perfectly capture the discontent and cynicism conveyed in the lyrics. To enjoy the sounds of The Smiths and their iconic track "Paint A Vulgar Picture," you can play and download their music on various music platforms or explore their discography on their official website.
