In Morrissey’s chorus to the final song on THE QUEEN IS DEAD he observes that:
some girls are bigger than others
some girls mothers are bigger than
other girls mothers

beloved, etc. ...
Princess
Diana - the world's most photographed girl - was certainly "bigger than" other girls. ...
Mother Teresa - the Mother Superior to nearly 4,000
nuns in the Missionaries Of Charity serving in 123 countries - was "bigger than
other girls mothers."
The death of the biggest girl will
be followed within a week by the death of the
biggest mother of girls. ...

(Princess Diana) is followed by the death of the world's biggest mother of girls
(Mother Teresa).

bigger than others" is followed by the line "some girls mothers are bigger than
other girls mothers." ...
Morrissey's lyrics begin by
proclaiming the thing he has just discovered - "some girls are bigger
than others" - is the number one concern in human history:
From the ice-age to the dole-age,
there is but one concern
and I
have just discovered:
some girls are bigger than others
With a reported television audience of 2.5 billion viewers worldwide, the
funeral of the world's biggest girl was the most watched single-event in human
history.
With 2.5 billion viewers worldwide, the most watched single-event in human history was the
funeral of the world's biggest girl. ...
Morrissey's final verse on THE QUEEN IS DEAD mentions two people:
1. Someone who "opened a crate of ale", (Anthony)
2. Someone who is
Egyptian, (Cleopatra)
As Anthony said to Cleopatra
as he opened a crate of ale:
some
girls are bigger than others
some girls are bigger than others
some girls
mothers are bigger than
other girls mothers
Princess Diana's death will be accompanied by
the death of two people:
1. Someone who will drink too much alcohol,
(driver Henri Paul)
2. Someone who is Egyptian, (Dodi Fayed)
The final verse mentions two people: an Egyptian
(Cleopatra) and someone (Anthony) who opened a crate of ale.
Diana was killed with two people: an Egyptian (Dodi Fayed) and someone (Henri
Paul) who drank far too much. ...

Morrissey provided this explanation
when asked for the meaning of SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS:
"I'm realizing things about women that I never realized before and 'SOME GIRLS
ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS'
is just taking it down to the
basic absurdity of recognizing the contours to one's body. The fact that
I've scuttled
through 26 years of life without ever noticing that the
contours of the body are different is an outrageous farce!"
-
Morrissey.
- NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS. June 7,
1986.
Morrissey's explanation echoes the New
York Times review of the only Jayne Mansfield film with "GIRL" in the title:
"The recognized fact that women are
shaped somewhat differently from men is the only apparent justification
for
Jayne Mansfield's being in THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT."
- NEW
YORK TIMES. February 2, 1957.
In her era, Jayne Mansfield epitomized
Morrissey's explanation for SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS. ...
"Among her Hollywood rivals, (Marilyn
Monroe, Sheree North, and Mamie Van Doren), Jayne stood out with her hour-glass
figure.
... her bust was the biggest in Hollywood while her
waist was the smallest. ... by 1957 Jayne's measurements were 41-18-35."

"As an actress and nightclub performer, Mansfield
sought to capitalize on her voluptuosly hyper-feminine figure."

Jayne Mansfield is dancer Cleo Patrick who buries her pet snake next to a

separate scenes - is a famous old quote concerning "Satan."
In the
Bible, the first representation of Satan is a snake. ...
Jayne Mansfield's fatal car crash
was crash number three in a two-week span for her boyfriend Sam Brody. ...
Brody's three car-crashes seemingly fulfilled the curse brought on by his
defiance of Satanist Anton Lavey. ...
Anton Lavey was the founder/leader
of the modern Church of Satan and the author of THE SATANIC BIBLE. ...
"Jayne lived
with awful dread during the last year of her life when she believed that a curse
had been put on her. ...
She traced all her present
difficulties back to the fall of 1966 when she and Sam Brody attended the San
Francisco
Film
Festival. At that time a press agent invited the couple to visit Anton LaVey,
the Devil, who was head of a black
magic cult which met at his home. While there Brody
touched a silver chalice and two skulls which were lying on
LaVey's mantel. Brody had
been informed beforehand by the Devil, as he prefers being called, that a curse
had
been placed upon
those objects and that anyone would die as a result of touching them. Brody
laughed and said
he
wasn't superstitious. Then the Devil remarked that [Brody] and Jayne would both
be killed tragically and
suddenly within a year. ...
Almost a year later, Anton
LaVey called upon Jayne at her fabulous home, asking if she would don a bikini
and pose
with him
wearing his Devil costume, which consisted of a cape and a headpiece with horns,
over a robe-like garment.
He wanted Jayne to pose with the silver chalice and
skulls. She preferred wearing a dress and agreed to the rest, with
a feeling of obligation to
the press agent who arranged the meeting. After this, Jayne, Brody, and Jayne's
children
entertained
the Devil and served refreshments. Five hours later Jayne and Brody were in a
car accident which
completely demolished the brand new Masserati Brody had given Jayne, and which
he was driving. A week later Brody,
while driving his own car, was hit again, and he
suffered a broken leg and ribs. A week later both Jayne and Brody were
killed in a crash on the way
to New Orleans.
Now let us recall the car accidents in a series of
three, each spaced seven days apart. I don't know much about Ju Ju
and Voo Doo, but I do know
that exact spaces of time are a necessary contingent upon the success of
curses."
- Evelyn McKeever. SEARCH MAGAZINE. May 1968.
Jayne Mansfield's fatal car crash seemingly fulfilled a Satanic curse cast
by Anton Lavey, the founder and leader of The Church of Satan and author of The
Satanic Bible.
