"'You're the One for Me, Fatty'" is a single by Morrissey released in July 1992. It was taken from the then-unreleased 'Your Arsenal' album and was the second Morrissey single to be co-written with Alain Whyte and produced by glam rock legend Mick Ronson. The title is a pun on the Marvelettes' song "You Are the One for Me, Bobby".Goddard, Simon, 'Mozipedia - The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and The Smiths'. Ebury Press. 2009. p. 507 The track reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
This single was retrospectively described by Ned Raggett in AllMusic as "[a] smart, lively cut...with the overall title and overall mood still being as classically Morrissey as it gets." Raggett did not think the B-sides were as strong in comparison but still "fine enough numbers, further evidence as to how the 'Your Arsenal' sessions had re-energized [Morrissey]." Raggett concludes his review, writing, "The tone throughout is relaxed and fun, almost in spite of some of the lyrics".
