‘Bigmouth Strikes Again’ is the perfect combination of Morrissey’s playful self-deprecating lyricism coupled with Johnny Marr’s ferociously upbeat riff which is a combination that many other acts have tried to replicate but nobody has managed to capture the magic that these two would create in their five active years together. The backing vocals were later comedically credited to ‘Ann Coates’ on the record which is a play on words of the Ancoats area of Manchester. Morrissey and Marr didn’t think her vocals worked on the track so decided to leave it off the final mix and instead Morrissey did the backing vocals in a ‘chipmunk-style’ which he managed to create through the use of a harmoniser. She came down to the studio and put on these really weird harmonies.” Marr is on record as saying: “That’s the first time we met her. The band had originally planned to incorporate Kirsty Maccoll onto the track as they thought her vocals would add an extra layer to the song and invited her down to RAK studios to which she obliged. We’re still at that stage where if I rescued a kitten from drowning, they’d say: “Morrissey Mauls Kitten’s Body”. The singer fiercely responded: “I can’t think of one sentence. When he was interviewed by NME in June 1986, they queried Morrissey on whether there was ever anything that he regrets saying as they tried to decipher what made him write this angsty anthem. Morrissey uses the track to prod fun further at the media circus surrounding everything he said and decided to provoke the beast further by likening himself to French martyr, Joan of Arc with the joke unsurprisingly passing them by at the time. I thought the guitar breaks should be percussive, not too pretty or cordial.” In Simon Goddard’s Songs That Saved Your Life: The Art of the Smiths, Marr is quoted as saying that he wanted the song to be The Smiths equivalent to The Rolling Stones’ ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, he said: “I wanted something that was a rush all the way through, without a distinct middle eight as such.
