Bigmouth strikes again

"Bigmouth strikes again" is a song originally by The Smiths and covered by LorD and Master. The song came to Dan's attention in 1997 when Placebo covered the record on their "Nancy boy" single, changing the words Walkman and hearing aid ("...and her Walkman started to melt") to Discman and later in the song, to Mega Drive. LorD and Master followed the trend by changing the lyrics to iPhone and iPad respectively.

Lyrics

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your 
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose and her iPhone started to melt

Bigmouth, la de dum dada
Bigmouth, la de de da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race
No, no

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose and her iPad started to melt

Bigmouth, la de dum dada
Bigmouth, la de de da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
In the human race
No, no
