In the mid 90’s, my dad borrowed my car and played the cassette. This is what he heard. He sang it for me when he returned the car. It was a bonding moment.
Just reading his autobiography, apparently they never told her the title of the song and what is about, Morrissey said it was rather unfortunate but also quite funny. May she rest in peace.
De las primeras canciones que escuché de Morrissey como solista. Me encanta esta canción. One of the first songs of Morrissey I heard on the radio and I love it.😉😊
in Morrissey's biography it is said that the actual song title was not revealed to the woman playing the part of "fatty" which is kind of savage, but very funny imo
Ohh ill never forget this music tour. I went to see it in Toronto. Still have a piece of your shirt . Given to me by one of the people who stage dived to get a piece. Im now 44 i was 16 then. Still love you Moz
I played my cassette of this album when it was released a hundred times. This song is great. I have to laugh at how offended people would be now by the title. Viva Moz!!!
I'm a feminist and feminists that disagree with are missing the point fat shouldn't be a bad word we calls skinny and thats fine. you can be 'fat' and love your body aswell so this song saying fatty shouldn't be a huge fucking problem i love this song
I am a Fatty..my boyfriend sings this to me and I like it,he calls me Fatty and so what?I am happy as I am and what other people think doesn't matter at all!!! And as for people who actually think us fattys have a problem getting a date....DREAM ON!!!! Never been a problem for me!
This song, for those that haven't noticed, has very clever lyrics. It can be interpreted as both a lovely innocent and song about how beauty and love are in the eyes of the beholder, OR it's a far more cynical song about the difficulty of finding love if one is fat and the hopes that one who is fat might have about finding love without - let's say - making the best of oneself, owing to the importance most of us put on attractiveness. A perfect example of Morrissey's brilliant crafting of double meanings!
I think this is all very iteresting. I had heard this song since forever but had never seen the video. I had always thought it was about loving either despite the physical issue or maybe that the person had the guts to love even if others might ridicule him - that is if he loves a fat girl others might look down on him> this video though seemed like it made fun of the non stop eating fat chick.
2Xcitizen yes your right, the video portrays a plumper girl been made fun of. He (Morrissey) was showing the truth of what people think. Not what he thinks but what some people think. He showed the truth of the situation that girls who are curvy can be seen as. It’s to make you think how awful it is that society can be cruel. You may understand Morrissey more than you know. Peace ✌🏻
What I love about this song is that Morrissey probably wrote this song trying to make it as heart-felt as possible but the fact he says fatty takes ALL seriousness from the entire song.
Anyone who thinks this song and video are offensive should get their head examined. Love it and only Morrissey can do justice to this song and its meaning.
It's great to have a video diary of Morrissey, ie. to see the 1992 Morrissey. This is obviously a tongue-in-cheek video. It is surprising that Morrissey, being such a fan of classic feature films, isn't associated with more classic video clips. I would loved to have seen more video clips from The Smiths.
"Promise you'll say if I'm ever in your way", to people unfamiliar with Moz's doucehbaggery, might sound awfully romantic. I know he sits in his room and giggles because he meant "warn me rather than crash into me" :-)
It actually has a serious side...it was not meant to be a comedy song. Notice none of the band are smile all the way through the song or take the piss. They are seriously saying, your the one for fatty. ⚘
Watched a guy dedicate this song to his girlfriend on karaoke, hadn't heard the song before and thought he must be making it up, it was a cringeworthy yet hilarious situation with his winks and constant pointing to her whilst singing it, but turns out....its a real song, wonder how long that relationship will last.
You're the one for me, fatty You're the one I really, really love And I will stay Promise you'll say If I'm in your way You're the one for me, fatty You're the one I really, really love And I will stay Promise you'll say If I'm ever in your ... A-hey All over Battersea Some hope; and some despair All over battersea Some hope; and some despair Oh ... You're the one for me, fatty You're the one I really, really love And I will stay Promise you'll say If I'm in your way You're the one for me, fatty You're the one I really, really love And I will stay Promise you'll say If I'm ever in your ... A-hey All over battersea Some hope; and some despair All over battersea Some hope; and some despair Oh, oh ... You're the one for me, fatty You're the one I really, really love And I will stay Promise you'll say If I'm ever in your way A-hey You're the one for me, fatty You're the one for me, a-hey-hey A-hey A-hey A-hey A-he-he-he-hey
I somehow have never seen this video only live versions 😂🤣 This could never be made today lmao I always thought it was about himself. I also see it as a continuation of “William It Was Really Nothing”. He had a great band on this album.
morrissey has some great song titles ,when i visited the USA in the 80s i was queuing up for a ride at disneyland in front of me stood a nun `sister theresa goes to disneyland` i remarked,my friend who was with me said that sounded like a morrissey song title
This is why he is a genius. You either get it or you don't. No one else would think of doing this and somehow make it work.
this is so unhinged
In the mid 90’s, my dad borrowed my car and played the cassette. This is what he heard. He sang it for me when he returned the car. It was a bonding moment.
Beautiful!
so you ended with a fatty too
Did you happen to be fatty?
:)
Epic
was used as one of my wedding songs and were still happly married after 12 yrs
Gross, fatty
Should I ever marry again, I want this song played.
That’s adorable!
👏🏻
@@johnnyolson258 You're a troll
Just reading his autobiography, apparently they never told her the title of the song and what is about, Morrissey said it was rather unfortunate but also quite funny. May she rest in peace.
It was a tongue in cheek comment on the idea of Charles Hawtrey marrying Joan Crawford
Morrissey's wit leaves me in hysterics...brilliant!
i sing this to my cat
So do I!
Awww
Eillak Swann same XD
Me too!!
ditto!
I SENT THIS TO MY GIRLFRIEND AND SHE'S NO LONGER MY GIRLFRIEND, I ONLY NEED MY MORRISSEY!
lol
+Thomas Norman,girl afraid!
I don't know why I didn't see it before, but this has got to be the theme music to any video about TrigglyPuff!
LOL
You seem like the perfect guy then. ❤️
Don't know if this has been posted before, but Morag Siller (Fatty) died of breast cancer in 2016. She was only 46. R.I.P., Morag.
tjb70 rip
R.i.p fatty
Dance forever up in Heaven Morag!
RIP Fatty
She's definitely even more of an angel now. 💕☦️
I'm dying 😂😂 love how she opens the door eating a huge bag of crisps haha
De las primeras canciones que escuché de Morrissey como solista. Me encanta esta canción. One of the first songs of Morrissey I heard on the radio and I love it.😉😊
Always loved this song... Cute, catchy and done in a way that only Morrissey can...
in Morrissey's biography it is said that the actual song title was not revealed to the woman playing the part of "fatty" which is kind of savage, but very funny imo
Leonardo DiMischok lmao that's brilliant
she must have clocked something was up when in the script she had to answer the door with a bag of crisps
@@thewildmitchell and eat flowers.
This song was written by Morrissey in the late 90's for Chas Smash of Madness. Probably why the rumours started that Morrissey is gay.
@@pauldunneska"rumours"?
Ohh ill never forget this music tour. I went to see it in Toronto. Still have a piece of your shirt . Given to me by one of the people who stage dived to get a piece. Im now 44 i was 16 then. Still love you Moz
That’s awesome
This video is pure gold. Absolutely hilariously brilliant
I played my cassette of this album when it was released a hundred times. This song is great. I have to laugh at how offended people would be now by the title. Viva Moz!!!
She meets him at the door with a bag of chips! LMAO
CHUY THREESIXTYFIVE crisps*
CHUY THREESIXTYFIVE exactly
Oliver Allen Brett Pitman is on fire!!!
J Beas is a broad humor kinda guy. Obese woman eating crisps makes him giggle.
Aaahahaha
I do really love Morrisey work! Marvelous, unique, awesome!
this song gives me life in the most outrageous way.
Well said, Fatty
the drumer plays like with an angel... comovent performance...smooth and perfect synchrony
🍺⚡🍺
ok chief
This man's voice❤💗💋💕💕💕❤❤💗
Seeing this in my suggestions made me blush cause it felt really personal
It is really personal because it was written and is sung for Our Laady of Fatima, which is the Catholics title for our Blessed Mother Mary
How have I NEVER heard this before today? Classic!
I'm a feminist and feminists that disagree with are missing the point fat shouldn't be a bad word we calls skinny and thats fine. you can be 'fat' and love your body aswell so this song saying fatty shouldn't be a huge fucking problem i love this song
I love this song and I live in Battersea. Love you Mossa!!!!!
Follow Chelsea?
This shit is gonna play at my wedding, you mark my words
Have you played it yet? :)
Please keep us posted 😄
I am a Fatty..my boyfriend sings this to me and I like it,he calls me Fatty and so what?I am happy as I am and what other people think doesn't matter at all!!! And as for people who actually think us fattys have a problem getting a date....DREAM ON!!!! Never been a problem for me!
My fatty just dumped me :(..
krillin876 Awww You will find another fatty (or maybe a skinny)..hugs x
HELL YES fat doesnt equal ugly!! you go girl
demoness demoness Don't boast Fatty.
Rory Curtis I have no need to boast :p

2Xcitizen
Actually it has one more meaning too. It's also an in-joke to his friend Chas Smash lead singer of Madness
It's 100pc what you said after "or" lol
2Xcitizen yes your right, the video portrays a plumper girl been made fun of. He (Morrissey) was showing the truth of what people think. Not what he thinks but what some people think. He showed the truth of the situation that girls who are curvy can be seen as. It’s to make you think how awful it is that society can be cruel. You may understand Morrissey more than you know.

What a great tune, reminds me of...past experiences.
Some girls are bigger than others ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maira José good one!
Lol 😂
Franciosi & Friends Productions bullshit
Fatty feel better 🤔😭
hahahahahaha
My heart melts when she eats the flowers 💘
What I love about this song is that Morrissey probably wrote this song trying to make it as heart-felt as possible but the fact he says fatty takes ALL seriousness from the entire song.
Typical Moz style. Hillarious!
Gracias por subirla ayer la puso mi esposa y recordamos hace 10 años cuando eramos novios
being chubby and really insecure, this makes me feel good, thanks Morrissey, my beautiful God
always been a big girl lover.I felt so proud when Morrissey put this out...
I just now noticed the cookie jar on the picnic blanket. Just when I thought I couldn't love this video any more....
Those glittery shirts, only Moz could have worn them ♥
So could Bowie,Boyln,(T.Rex)and. Few others
One of the best songs of the album.
Although this is a simple song, the guitar arrangements are really pretty damn cool.
Only he would write this
I so love Morrissey.
This is the song we need most now in 2024!
I can't he's just so adorable in this video
Listening to and loving some Morrissey in 2020!! xoxoxo
This song is everything
Anyone who thinks this song and video are offensive should get their head examined. Love it and only Morrissey can do justice to this song and its meaning.
How did this song not become part of the soundtrack for Shallow Hal?
It's great to have a video diary of Morrissey, ie. to see the 1992 Morrissey.
This is obviously a tongue-in-cheek video. It is surprising that Morrissey, being such a fan of classic feature films, isn't associated with more classic video clips.
I would loved to have seen more video clips from The Smiths.
I sing this to myself......
You're The One For Me, Fatty
😂😂😂 same!!!
same-
The drums are really good in this one. Solid.
my mirror sings this to me!
I love the couple in this video. So cute!
"Promise you'll say if I'm ever in your way", to people unfamiliar with Moz's doucehbaggery, might sound awfully romantic. I know he sits in his room and giggles because he meant "warn me rather than crash into me" :-)
LOL! Warn me if I'm in your way; I don't want to get crushed!
He sang this live tonight. Transcendent concert
That was great show! Kodak center!
This would be a good song to play for a cat food commercial
It actually has a serious side...it was not meant to be a comedy song. Notice none of the band are smile all the way through the song or take the piss. They are seriously saying, your the one for fatty. ⚘
really feeling this right now
had this as my wedding song
My Fav... Song
Love Morrissey so much
This would be my choice for the first dance at my wedding. Please, please please, let me get what i want this time!
Watched a guy dedicate this song to his girlfriend on karaoke, hadn't heard the song before and thought he must be making it up, it was a cringeworthy yet hilarious situation with his winks and constant pointing to her whilst singing it, but turns out....its a real song, wonder how long that relationship will last.
lol This song launched the BBW Movement lmao
Tommy Pearson HAHAHA WISH

Love you Morrissey!!!!
This is morrissey at his best.

I love morrissey all his songs are symmetrical to my life. Might send this to my ex who I truly loved but over time the fatty turned cruel.
HAHAHAHAHAHA same here :(
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
HE CARED, BUT HE DIDNT GIVE A F**K, BEST COMBINATION EVER.
she's beautiful
she's fat
Kermit Grover And what? She's is beautiful, really.

Fetishist
She has a gorgeous smile, and a natural beauty. Just because people don't hew to your standards doesn't make us fetishists.
That was pure gold!

Gary Day is absolutely amazing!
Pure Buddy Holly ! Thanks Morrisy!
Mozz rules , yesterday ,today and forever.
one of my favourite songs!!
I like to think he wrote this for his first true love 'Patty', and that he changed it to 'fatty' after they had a falling out.
*****
His middle name is Patrick 😀
@@liamgallagherful his true love is himself
Lelolol
Cement mixer
This is a great song.
Классная песня. Классный клип.
I love how only morrissey could possibly write a song like this...and maybe queen
People are getting fatter, so this song is becoming more relevant each passing day
I somehow have never seen this video only live versions 😂🤣 This could never be made today lmao I always thought it was about himself. I also see it as a continuation of “William It Was Really Nothing”. He had a great band on this album.
i used to sing this to my partner.she hated it.we have seen mozza twice together.now we are separated!!!!!
she was not good for me.i left her 10yrs ago,should ave done it a lot sooner
I love this video and song too !!!!
I got slapped for suggesting this as our wedding aisle song last night lol
That made me laugh.
🤣🤣🤣
wow i never knew this song... and then i have seen, this album is missing in my collection... why?
All over battersea! 🎼🎧🎤🎸
morrissey has some great song titles ,when i visited the USA in the 80s i was queuing up for a ride at disneyland in front of me stood a nun `sister theresa goes to disneyland` i remarked,my friend who was with me said that sounded like a morrissey song title
Morrissey is a chubby-chaser. 🍰
Of fat men.
@@pauldunneska ewwwwww hes gayyyyyyyyyy
He's not gay. He's just Morrissey. I think he defies categorization.
He's a celibate asexual.
@@RealityEscapeeItIsMe he hasn't been celibate for years and never asexual , he's had many boyfriends
no puede mas este tema, genial
The singing Oscar Wilde!
I always thought Moz dedicated this song to my chub bear cub self. *swoon 🙆♂️🤗😍
only Mozerella could pull this song off.
Very true that,even I was amazed when I heard about this release.
"Mozerella" hahaha, "Mozerella"
Today it wouldn’t be allowed. As we all know all fat people are completely beautiful and have responsibilities in being fat
@@royfr8136 Yep. Pointing out the fact their health is in jeopardy is now considered "hateful"!! They're killing themselves ffs!
