Just my size

"My Size" is a song by John Entwistle, who was the bassist for The Who. The song is the first track on his debut solo album Smash Your Head Against the Wall and contains the main riff from one of Entwistle popular compositions 'Boris the Spider.' 'My Size' was released as a single in 1971 but failed to chart. When Entwistle was asked about the song he said simply: "'My Size,' was just written in the studio, we wrote the chord progressions and then I went home and composed the tune and the words."[1] In an other interview Entwistle called 'My Size' a sequel to his 1966 Who hit 'Boris the Spider.' He says "I wrote it as a sequel to Boris the Spider for our manager. Our manager wanted me to put Boris the Spider on my album. So I wrote My Size and I wrote it in a sort of code so it sounds as if it were being sung about a woman. Then I stuck the ending on it as a clue. It wasn't a very good clue, I suppose."
