Folks, I am the first one to discover this. A Bigger Bang is a pun on the title of one of the Stone's greatest albums, Beggar's Banquet.
You heard it from me first. What do I win? |

a pun is like, for example, "gun crime, it's just a shot away" if a reporter was writing an article on the UK's rising gun crime. you're just paralleling the two albums.

Morocco, that is a fascinating similarity you point to. Mick seems to be keen on some of those head rhymes.

But this is more than an alliteration I am speaking of; this is a deliberate pun on "Beggar's Banquet." |

There's no pun.
There is no more relation between Bigger/Beggars and Bang/Banquet than there is Bigger/Some and Bang/Girls!
(I said Bang Girls!)
