Bigmouth Strikes Again / Money Changes Everything

Driven by Johnny Marr's frantic, aggressive acoustic guitar strumming inspired by the Rolling Stones' 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', this track features some of Morrissey's most famously sardonic, self-deprecating lyrics referencing Joan of Arc. The high-pitched backing vocals were originally recorded by Kirsty MacColl, but Morrissey ultimately replaced them with his own pitch-shifted voice, cheekily credited to the pseudonym 'Ann Coates' (a reference to Ancoats in Manchester).
