The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again (Official Lyric Video)

With the humour that's intended, this is now Meerah's song. She is the most "barky" dog here, and she's always up to no good, so quite by accident I told Steve .. "Bigmouth Strikes Again,"  and then I couldn't get the song out of my head. So yeah ... now she has a theme tune too! 
I googled wondering what the line "now I know how Joan of Arc felt" meant in the context of this song. .... "The line "now I know how Joan of Arc felt" from The Smiths' song "Bigmouth Strikes Again" is a sarcastic and ironic statement about the consequences of speaking impulsively. It signifies a feeling of being misunderstood and unfairly attacked, similar to how Joan of Arc was persecuted, but on a personal level after a "bigmouth" remark.
