Talk:Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

Lyrics

Personally I don't believe the lyrics of this track to be frivolous at all. In the song, Morrissey can clearly be heard to refer to not only the pillows that "you dream on" but also the pillows that you "dream of." When you take this lyric in context with the title of the track, he's clearly referring women's breasts. This makes the lyrics that much more interesting when you consider the controversy surrounding Morrissey's sexuality. The live recording of the track also includes a verse which refers to the habit of working men to hang nude photos or calendars of women. I am not skilled at Wiki editing, so I'm not sure how to add this discussion to the article, but I wanted to bring it up. Several years ago I had a very spirited discussion on this topic on a usenet group. My theory that the song was in fact about women's breasts was denounced at first, but I was eventually proven correct.

You may not believe the lyrics of the track to be frivolous, but it was an inappropriate addition of a dispute tag. Just because you disagree with an opinion stated in a referenced source doesn't entitle you to claim that there are disputed facts. Instead you should offer some more sources that state a different opinion. 89.127.56.71 (talk) 16:58, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Added to the strain in the Marr-Morrissey relationship

Recently I read somewhere that Marr resented that one of his best melodies was wasted in a joke lyric and that this was one more contributing factor to the problems in their relationship. But I don't remember where I read it. Someone has also seen it ? Rps (talk) 12:59, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

not sure if it's slide guitar

someone who is probably as hardcore as (loser, lighten up pal) Y2kcrazyjoker, but for the smiths, said marr plays it with a capo on the 4th fret live.

this is a very hard song. i don't think the slide gizmo (whatever it is) would make it any easier.

anyways i think the critic is wrong for calling it slide guitar.

i've seen like two videos and he's not using a slide

here's one

the coffee-drinking, high-brow, snotty-nosed smiths critic is wrong.

jmo ofc edit: the critique is so french in its nature. the idea of "love to listen, can't play, but will critique like i play". in this sense they're not criticising the play--it's the opposite--but the heart of the analysis is no different. whether it's praising or deriding, it's wrong and speaks of a perception of a career-leecher.

Carry On Cleo?

Why is "Oh I say" particularly associated here with Carry On Cleo? Namechecking Antony and Cleopatra and saying "Oh I say" is not "broadly referencing" that movie. It comes from that sort of comedy, sure, but any number of British comedians of that ilk and era would have said that line. Leslie Phillips certainly said it a lot and he isn't even in Carry On Cleo. Has anyone got the book that supposedly sources this? Cardinal Wurzel (talk) 11:09, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
