"Bigmouth Strikes Again" is a song by The Smiths. It appears on their third album ''The Queen Is Dead'' and was the lead single from the album, reaching No. 26 in the UK Singles Chart in 1986. It was also the closing song on The Smiths' only live album, ''Rank''. Since the break-up of The Smiths, Morrissey has performed this song live in 2004, including it on his ''Live at Earls Court'' (2005). Johnny Marr sang and played it in a ''Later With Jools Holland'' TV broadcast in June 2013. ==Music and lyrics== The lyrics describe the protagonist's frustration of being hounded by others for his comments, to which he replies "''I was only joking''". During the song, the protagonist compares himself to Joan of Arc as ''the flames rose to her Roman nose'' and also says ''now I know how Joan of Arc felt''.〔("Bigmouth Strikes Again" Lyrics from Sing365.com )〕 The line, "''and her Walkman started to melt", is often changed by Morrissey in live performances, to the more technologically current "''and her iPod started to melt''".〔("Moz: Bigmouth Strikes Again strikes again with the iPod" )〕 The high-pitched voice in the background is actually Morrissey's voice altered to a higher pitch. The backing vocal is credited to "Ann Coates", a reference to the Manchester district of Ancoats.〔(AllMusic song review )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bigmouth Strikes Again」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
