X-d from Haifa, Israel'Treepeople' did a cover for this song, where "When I said by rights you should beīludgeoned in your bed" was replaced with "when I said that I am gonna miss you in your death".Stephanie from Aurich, GermanyThe version of "Big Mouth Strikes Again" on the Album "Rank" is great, just like "Still Ill", "Ask" "Panic" and "The Queen Is Dead".Alex from Austin, TxThe Placebo version mentions "megadrive" in place of "hearing aid".it has some fantastic covers by placebo, supergrass, therapy? and loads more. Dean from York, Englandin 1996 on the 10th aniversary of 'the queen is dead' album a tribute album was released called the smiths is dead.Naomi from Wexford, Irelandmorrissey has recently been replacing walkman with i-pod.as i have witnessed at his latest dublin gig.Still, this is one of my favorite Smiths songs, especially the "highlander" guitar solo. Rob from Santa Monica, CaThe opening chords are very similar to "Crazy on You" by Heart.Ben from Manchester, Englandmorrissey is a genius!!! i am 13 years old and LOVE the smiths who says our generation dont appriciate quallity like the smiths infact i have this song and several other smiths songs on my mp3 player jonny marr rocks.Roman refers to the shape of her (fictional) nose. Smarty from Los Angeles, CaJoan of Arc was french, not roman.Robbie from Bristol, England, United StatesThe backing vocals on this song are morrisseys - his voice is sped up.I find it hard to believe that people could hear this and not like it.I am 17 years old, but have a taste in music that reaches much farther back then my birth year of 1988. There are too many kids today with crappy taste in music. Matt from West Springfield, Mathank you ben, manchester, england.Dennis from Chicagoland Burrows, IlBen From Manchester the world would have hope if there were more like you.Janice from Folsom, CaI have a friend who thought that the lyrics "When I said I?d like to smash every tooth/ In your head" were "When I said I'd like to smash burritos/ In your hair.".Baisically, think about the consiquences of what you say. when she is burnt they are melted, symbolizing how God did not save her. Tom from Portsmouth, EnglandThe Song also carries a message about "keeping your mouth shut", bignouth refairs to somebody talking to much, this someone is Joan of Arc who claimed to be recieving visions from God, the hearing aid and walkman refair to the voice of God talking to her.That's why he says he knows how she feels. Because He speaks too frankly, he's being burnt (metaphorically of course) like Joan of arc. And that's what I understand: Morrisey is misunderstanded, and that's precisely what he pretends to say. Khazar from Ergf, Spainmy english is poor but my understanding is high.Przemek from Warsaw, Polandit's spelled "Bigmouth".The part about her Roman nose is probably a stab at the French too. Good 'ol Morrissey, always fighting the establishment. As if he's saying her holy visions were not holy at all. Jeremy from Scottsdale, AzI interpret a bit of blasphemy in the lines about Joan of Arc's hearing aid and Walkman.Im so happy to see all the comments on here about other band's versions. Jeff from Austin, Txeasily one of the top 20 songs of all time.April from Raleigh, Nceven though this is trivial morrissey replaced hearing aid & walk man with i pod in 2007 & 2009 tours in houston tx.Sheridan from Rome, ItalyMorrissey wore a hearing aid in tribute to Johnny Ray, not to 'hearing impared fans'.The ending song is proof of this as it quotes the song in the part “Now I know how Joan of Arc felt as her Walkman started to melt”. Evan from United StatesAlso, the video game No More Heroes Travis Strikes Again not only references No More Heroes by the Stranglers, by also this song.
