Pot, Kettle, Black - Tilly & The Wall
Dream Into Action - Howard Jones

Tilly & The Wall have a tap dancer instead of a drummer
Howard Jones had a mime artist, Jed Hoile, instead of a backing band

To be fair to Morrissey he was rather young and foolish when he wrote the anti-Mick song. Now he's no longer young...

Dream Into Action - Howard Jones
Who Is The Doctor - Jon Pertwee

Both produced by Rupert Hine. Plus Howard's hey-day hair-do would have been a bit Worzel Gummidge-y when he woke up in the morning.
