Bigmouth Strikes Again

Bigmouth Strikes Again was written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr, members of the British band The Smiths. The song is known for its ironic humor and the peculiar way it addresses serious themes such as communication and misunderstanding. The reference to Joan of Arc, who was a French national heroine and a saint of the Catholic Church, suggests a feeling of being a misunderstood martyr, while the mention of her Walkman starting to melt adds a mode ... rn touch of humor to the tale of suffering.
