"Pregnant for the Last Time" was a single by Morrissey released in July 1991. It was a stand-alone single rather than taken from any album.
This single saw a change in Morrissey's musical style as the twee 1960s pop of Kill Uncle was replaced by a harder rockabilly sound. This was also the first time Morrissey was to work with Boz Boorer, who he continues to work with in 2007 and Alain Whyte who continued to write with Morrissey until his 2006 album Ringleader of the Tormentors. The single performed better than both singles taken from Kill Uncle and reached number 25 in the UK Singles Chart.
The b-side "Skin Storm" was orginially written and performed by the band Bradford.

[edit] Trivia
The riff from the song bears a strong resemblance to the rockabilly song “Don't You Mess With My Ducktails” by Joe Clay. Ducktail is a type of haircut like Morrissey's.
