"Dagenham Dave" is a song by Morrissey, released as a single in August 1995, a week prior to the release of Southpaw Grammar. It was Morrissey's first release on RCA, the label he had signed to after leaving EMI. This was the second Morrissey solo single not to feature the singer on the cover, instead English football coach and former player Terry Venables was shown sticking out his tongue. Venables was born in Dagenham.

The single reached number 26 in the UK singles chart.

It is not related to the song of the same name by The Stranglers, from their 1977 album No More Heroes.

Reviews

NME gave a negative review, saying that this single showed that "Morrissey has become the embarrassing incontinent grandfather of Britpop". The song was described as "piss-poor old crap" and a "tune-impaired three-minute drone".

However in other reviews, the general opinion was that the song was "very good". It was a unique style which Morrissey had embraced during the height of the Britpop era.[1]
