To the above comment: The gay connotations are obvious and if you don't hear them then it would make sense that YOU are as stupid as your implication that "gays are sick" is. On to more important matters, I think this song is fun, hillarious and meaningful. It can definately be taken as described above (by our more intelligent postersm, not "somnians") -- a late blooming realization that one is gay or it can also be seen as Morrissey's own recognition of his place as older statesman of alternative rock. Given all of the bands that have imitated his and the Smiths work -- it is an aknowledgement, almost Sunset Blvd-esque in it's campiness, of his place as an icon, or "Daddy"
