Johnny Marr plays The Eurhythmics' "Thorn In My Side" with a smattering of The Cure thrown in for good measure.
P. S. - Save a sample of the feedback at the end.

I take that as a compliment. :bling:
for bonus points, try to guess what guitar that is.

Difficult to tell when the microphone is so far away from the loudspeaker in the amplifier. (Too much room ambience. Too much phaser.)
EDIT - The feedback sounds like a semi-solid Thinline guitar.

RUDE REPLY - <sings> Tell me the old, old story.
RUDER REPLY - What knobhead planted the selector switch there?
I approve of the 2 vol, 2 tone control and pickguard modification but, IMO, the selector switch should be either EXACTLY where it would have been on a Fender Telecaster Custom/Deluxe pickguard or roughly where it ought to be on a Gibson SG. Anywhere else looks stoopid.
Aside from all of that grumbling, I can definitely see how a series 2 Thinline T would supercede both your ES-333 and some of the Jaguar modifying projects that you keep proposing in this forum. Buy that guitar. Relocate the selector switch. Put a sticker over the hole.

Returning to the OP riff, I now find myself wanting to sing the backing vocal line from Stereophonics' "Have A Nice Day". It isn't the same riff but the melody seems to fit.
IMO, you can make or break that riff with the bass and melody lines that you superimpose onto it. For example, high register plectrum bass will immediately suggest Peter Hook of Joy Division / New Order. Stay low!

I was going to stick to a steady 16ths, root notes.

U2 meets mid-Eighties Simple Minds.
It is, essentially, a I-IV-V progression. Give it some free range double bass and you'll have "Madame George" in a Smiths stylee.

"free range"?

Re: New riff im pumped about. sound familiar?
Sorry. English humour (with a U).
Free range is a method of keeping chickens (or any other livestock) outdoors, free to scratch about, not penned or intensely farmed.
"Madame George" is a song from the classic Van Morrison album, Astral Weeks.
As far as I am concerned, double bassist Richard Davis absolutely makes that song. (All the session men on that disc make brilliant contributions.) To ears atuned to the rigidity of present day, click track guided multi-track recording, the way that the band hangs together throughout that album will seem completely wrong...
...but it still works.
