"Mansize Rooster" is a song by Supergrass, released as the second single from their debut album I Should Coco. It reached #20 in the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for three weeks. Like its predecessor Caught by the Fuzz, "Mansize Rooster" was originally limited to 500 copies as a 7" vinyl only, Backbeat Records release, although pressings are believed to been have been made since. The B-side remained to be Sitting Up Straight, but the songs sound slightly different and have different runtimes to their present day versions. The Backbeat vinyl it was primarily issued on was also green. The song is also used in the movie Casper: A Spirited Beginning and is included in its soundtrack.
The song, although this not necessarily obvious from the lyrics, is said to be about someone who has a large penis despite their young age.
It was played as Supergrass' first ever live television performance on The Word in 1995.
