I might be wrong but I think this was taken from a Top of the Tops performance with some crazed scenario as background with The Smiths performing "Sheila Take a Bow" in front of an enthusiastic audience and with some balloons being dropped from time to time. The song is awesome and quite funny, and while doing their act Morrissey and team seem to be having plenty of fun while playing and dancing (even Johnny Marr attempts some dance moves while playing his guitar). I tend to like better their artistic videos made by filmmaker Derek Jarman rather just lip-synching performances but this one gets a good and positive credit because 1) it's The Smiths and they can go wrong and 2) the song is brilliant in any possible way. It's a pretty good musical moment, one of their greatest singles...but it's hard to endure those weird geometrical forms as background, as if everything was about to collapse behind them. 9/10.
