I was Morrissey's Chicago driver when he based that tour from here. Glamorous Glue was filmed at two locations, the outdoors on the famed Maxwell Street and indoors at Chicago's very own Kingston Mines Blues Bar. We Hate When Our Friends... was filmed at Chicago 's 95th th St Beach and the International Port of IL on the southern end of Lake Michigan. You're the One for Me Fatty was in those same general areas as well as some abandoned bldgs and sounstages. He's very reserved. One day he wanted to try Chicago pizza so I took him at what I thought would be an out of the way place only to get approached for autographs the moment he starts walking up to the door of the Connie's Pizza in the Bridgeport neighborhood. oh well.
In fairness, a Chicago-style pizza with no meat is almost a contradiction in terms. (Also, I can't imagine why you didn't take him to Lou Malnati's...)
Although the lyrics seemed a typically tongue-in-cheek Morrissey love song towards an overweight person, in reality the words were an in-joke directed at Madness singer Chas Smash whom Morrissey had recently befriended. Smash has since confessed that he is the subject of the song.The title is a pun on the Marvelettes' song You Are The One for Me Bobby.
According to Wikipedia: Cathal Joseph Smyth, also known as Chas Smash came to prominence in the late 1970s as the backing vocalist, trumpet player, harmonica player and dancer for the English ska band Madness. (...) In 1989/1990, he became friends with former Smiths singer Morrissey, who had once asked him to be his manager. Smyth declined, claiming that "I didn't fancy having to iron his socks." (...) Cathal is also the subject of the 1992 Morrissey single, "You're the One for Me, Fatty".
He wrote this song for me. When I go see him in concert, I want a shirt that says "FATTY" on the front and "BIGGER THAN OTHER GIRLS' MOTHERS" on the back!
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 ...

Morrisey's Take on men: This Charming Man... Morrissey's subliminal take on women: Girlfriend in a coma. The Queen is Dead. Some Girls are Bigger than Others, Sheila take a Bow, and we all know what happened to the Joan of Arc and the Monster that November Spawned, don't we? (Keep looking this theme is ubquitous in his works)
Your instincts are correct, bascet1, he's really not. :-P "Although the lyrics seemed a typically tongue-in-cheek Morrissey love song towards an overweight person, in reality the words were an in-joke directed at Madness singer Chas Smash whom Morrissey had recently befriended.

Fat shaming is cool and so is this song (albeit for different reasons). Shame is an incredibly useful social stratagem for guiding people in positive directions. Incidentally, that's why there's been this powerful, well-funded, and frankly evil movement against the shaming of maladaptive or self-destructive behaviours (e.g. "slut-shaming", "fat-shaming" etc.) in recent years. If you're a member of an evil elite, you want people to engage in certain activities that are bad for them like sleeping around and overeating, in order to keep them docile, stupid, and compliant. And to do that, you first remove the healthy shame associated with those actions and then ban/censor/whatever anyone who tries to maintain it. Eventually, you actively promote the behaviours, as we've seen happen with both promiscuity and fat activism.

Does anyone know if a karaoke/backup track/instrumental version of "You're the One for me Fatty" exists?
This video is hilarious!
Morrissey is a chubby-chaser. 🍰
Dedicated to all of those confused gay dudes who just wanted to fit in. We all did it.
Don’t lie.
This is Alessia Russo song 😍🥰

Morrisey's Take on men: This Charming Man...
Morrissey's subliminal take on women: Girlfriend in a coma. The Queen is Dead. Some Girls are Bigger than Others, Sheila take a Bow, and we all know what happened to the Joan of Arc and the Monster that November Spawned, don't we? (Keep looking this theme is ubquitous in his works)
Interesting

"You're The One For Me, Fatty" C.H.V. ♥
The girl in the video is Reverend Esther Warren from Coronation Street in 2013
RIP Morag Siller
Morrissey doesn't strike me as a guy who has to grab a fatty at ten to two? But you never know!!

Nine people are against Fat shaming
Hilary Langseth-Santillan The song is about the inner being and over looking superficial nonsense.
@@mikethompson5549 exactly, as is "Some girls are bigger than others"

Beautiful woman. Awful song.
