Released in January 1984, it became their third single and a breakthrough chart success. Written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, the track captures the band\u2019s early energy and lyrical bite. The song appears on their debut album, The Smiths, released later in 1984. A different version, recorded for BBC Radio 1\u2019s John Peel Show, is also featured on Hatful of Hollow. This alternate recording is often praised for its raw intensity and stripped-down sound.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Difference Does It Make?\u201d reached No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart, giving the group one of their first major hits. Its success helped solidify The Smiths\u2019 place in the alternative rock scene of the 1980s. Interestingly, the single was released without a promotional video. Morrissey stated in 1984 that he believed music videos would fade quickly and wanted to \u201cherald their death.\u201d Despite this, the track remains one of their most recognized early works.<\/p>\n<p>The single\u2019s cover also drew attention. It featured a photograph of actor Terence Stamp from the 1965 film The Collector. Initially, Stamp denied its use, leading to temporary pressings that showed Morrissey holding a glass of milk in a re-enacted scene. Eventually, Stamp approved the image, and the original cover was restored. This song connects strongly to The Smiths\u2019 lyrical themes of alienation and wit. Its title is borrowed from Jack Kerouac\u2019s novel The Dharma Bums, where the phrase is repeated by the character Ray Smith. Another phrase from the book, \u201cPretty girls make graves,\u201d inspired a different track on The Smiths. In the wider scope of their catalog, the song stands as a bridge between their raw debut and later polished works like Meat Is Murder and The Queen Is Dead. It helped define the band\u2019s style of jangly guitar melodies paired with sharp, literate lyrics. \u201cWhat Difference Does It Make?\u201d remains an essential song in The Smiths\u2019 legacy, capturing their early defiance and lasting cultural impact.<\/p>\n\n<p>Why stop with The Smiths&#8217; underground music video?
