The Wire Lyrics

The Wire

This playful track originally appeared in Haim's 2012 Daytrotter session and featuring prominently in their live setlists, where it proved to be a favorite. When the sisters came to record the tune for their debut album they tried laying it down in a variety of different ways from raw Rock 'n' Roll to Electronica. "It's like the hardest math problem ever, " Este Haim told NME. "We want to get it right – we love that song." The cut was released as a single on September 23, 2013.

The song's music video finds the Haim sisters dumping their respective partners. The clip co-stars Jorma Taccone of the Lonely Island as one of their spurned boyfriends. Taccone also had a recurring role on HBO's Girls.

Malibu Lyrics

Crash and burn
All the stars explode tonight
How'd you get so desperate
How'd you stay alive

Help me please
Burn the sorrow from your eyes
Oh come on be alive again
Don't lay down and die

Hey hey
You know what to do
Oh baby drive away to Malibu
Get well soon

Please don't go any higher
How are you so burnt when
You're barely on fire
Cry to the angels

I'm gonna rescue you
I'm gonna set you free tonight, baby
Pour over me
Hey, hey

We're all watching you
Oh, baby, fly away to Malibu
Cry to the angels
And let them swallow you

Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu
And the sun goes down
I watch you slip away
And the sun goes down

I walk into the waves
And I knew
Love would tear you apart
Oh and I knew

The darkest secret of your heart
I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu
Oceans of angels

Oceans of stars
Down by the sea is where you
Drown your scars
I can't be near you

The light just radiates
I can't be near you
The light just radiates

Malibu

In the December 2006 issue of Blender magazine, Courtney Love explained: "The song's about living in a trailer in Malibu with my first boyfriend, Jeff. I was 16. And It's kind of about Kurt, too. It's an empathy song: Come to me, I'll save you. I wanted the boy in the song to drive away from Hollywood and the drugs. When I was pregnant, Kurt and I always had this thing about getting out of the basement apartment we lived in with dealers next door and going to live in Malibu. It's a very healing place."

Love wrote this for Stevie Nicks to sing. She wanted to write her a hit.

Shannon Lyrics

Shannon

"Shannon" was a song written about the passing of Beach Boy Carl Wilson's Irish Setter of the same name. The song went gold and became a worldwide hit. The second single, "Springtime Mama," sold just short of gold. This was Gross' first album and first hit on the new Lifesong Record label.

This song was a hit in the US in 1976, but is perhaps best known for being the subject of a legendary, profanity-laced tirade by American Top 40 radio show host Casey Kasem while recording an episode of the show in 1985. A listener had requested the song as a "Long Distance Dedication" (a regular feature of the AT40 show) to his own recently-deceased dog. Kasem was upset that the show's producers had placed the dedication immediately following the Pointer Sisters' hit "Dare Me," an up-tempo song that Kasem considered a poor lead-in to a sad song like "Shannon" - and he let the producers know of his displeasure in no uncertain terms. In the end, the dedication, and the mismatched songs, were presented as scripted in spite of Kasem's objection, but the outtake of his rant eventually surfaced as a bootleg recording. The so-called "Snuggles tape" (named for the dog to whom the dedication was made) contradicted Kasem's normally straight-laced, easygoing on-air persona, and provided an amusing footnote to his 18-year-long run as the show's original host.

The falsetto vocals on "Shannon" were written because Gross was a big fan of Beach Boy member Brian Wilson and was influenced by his singing style.

When you look at me
Tell me what do you see

It's the way I am
When I look at you
I want to be, I want to be
Close to heaven
With Neanderthal man

Don't go, I know
You want to touch me
Here, there
And everywhere
Sparks fly when
We are together
You can't deny the
Facts of life

You don't have to act like a star
Trying moves in the back of your car
Don't you know that we can go far
'cause tonight you're gonna get my X X
Don't play the games that you play
'cause you know that I won't run away
So why ain't ya askin' me to stay
'cause tonight I'm gonna give you my X X

You could be mine baby
What's your star sign
Won't you take a step
Into the lion's den
I can hear my conscience
Callin' me callin' me
Say I'm gonna be
A bad girl again
Why don't you come over
We can't leave this all undone
Got the devil on my shoulder
There's no place
For you to run

You don't have to act like a star
Trying moves in the back of your car

Kiss Kiss

This was originally recorded in Turkish by the Turkish pop star Tarkan. The Turkish hit was called Simiark ("Spoilt") and it reached the Top 3 in several European countries. In the Turkish version, the chorus ends with two kiss sounds. Holly Valance's version has the same instrumentation, but the lyrics are in English.

Holly Valance (real name: Vukadinovi) is an Australian actress who played Felicity "Flick" Scully in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, which also gave us Kylie Minogue. Valance is related to the British comedian Benny Hill - Hill's cousin was her grandfather.

Silhouettes Lyrics

Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within, the dim light cast two Silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they made

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste in the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy who's silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Lost control and rang your bell; I was sore
Let me in, or else I'll beat down your door
When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade
Said, to my shock, "You're on the wrong block."

Rushed out to your house with wings on my feet
Loved you like I'd never loved you, my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Silhouettes

This song is about a guy who sees a couple kissing and fooling around. He sees their shadows through a closed curtain, and thinks that it's his girl cheating on him. He gets so upset at what he's watching he bangs on the door, only to find out he has the wrong house. He then rushes to the right house, and together he and his girl make their own shadows when they kiss.

This was previously a hit for the Rays (US #3) and later by the Diamonds (US #10, both in 1957).

Herman's Hermits lead singer Peter Noone sang on this track, but the other band members didn't play on it. The session musicians brought in were:

Vic Flick - guitar
Big Jim Sullivan - guitar
John Paul Jones - bass (yep, the guy from Led Zeppelin)
Bobby Graham - drums
John Carter and Ken Lewis - backing vocals

Jimmy Page, who was a session guitarist at the time and went on to form Led Zeppelin, played on this song. In an interview with the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Peter Noone, who was lead singer of Herman's Hermits, addressed the use of outside musicians on their recordings: "The Hermits played on the songs that they played well on. Sometimes other musicians played on tracks, mostly because the band's weakness was our drummer (the nicest guy in the band and therefore irreplaceable) because he had pretty unusual time and was therefore un-overdubbable (my word) so we started using Clem Cattini (Tornadoes) and Jim Page (Yardbirds), John Paul Jones, Herbie Flowers and whoever was around at the time. Lek is the guitarist on 'For Your Love' so you can see he was very good. Jim played on 'Silhouettes' and 'Wonderful World' and, once Karl Green faded, he was replaced on all the recordings by John Paul Jones, who also arranged almost everything and was our genius."

This song inspired the storyline of "No Reply," which John Lennon wrote for The Beatles.

Tears on Tape Lyrics

Tears on Tape

This is the title track to HIM's eighth studio album. In our interview with group's lead singer/songwriter Ville Valo , he explained: "It's my tribute to the music I grew up listening to. It mentions church bells tolling and thunder roaring, and that's a dedication to the first Black Sabbath album and so forth. There are two or three different stories going on at the same time. In one, it describes music verbally, and my favorite songs. And on another level it's a bit more of an emotional journey and relationship-related little ditty."

You might detect and '80s sound to this one, which can be attributed to Ville Valo's love of music from that decade - he cites Depeche Mode and Nick Cave as two of his favorites from the era.

Valo came up with the basic track for this song when he was working on some Electronic side projects that never came to fruition. When it came time to work on the Tears On Tape album, he brought out what he had of the song and gave it the HIM treatment. "I had that melody and I was playing around with that for about eight months," he told us. "Then since we started working on new stuff with HIM, I thought, 'Let's try it out. It's a bit different than the rest of the songs.'"

Mary's Boy Child Lyrics

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day,
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A newborn King today,
And man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That Man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas day.

(verse 1)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
They heard a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar,

(verse 2)
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,
Come to bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child,
Not a single room was in sight.

(verse 3)
By and by, they find a little nook,
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's litlle Boy was born!

Mary's Boy Child

Originally, this was a West Indian song written by Jester Hairston, a Julliard-trained songwriter who would later popularize the spiritual "Amen" during the civil rights movement in the United States. The song tells the story of the birth of Jesus.

When this reached #1, Harry Belafonte became the first black male to have a #1 in the UK. It was the first ever song to sell 1 million copies in the UK, and the first ever British #1 record to have a playing time of more than four minutes (4:12).

This stayed at #1 in the UK for 7 weeks before becoming the only song to drop from #1 straight out of Top 10 the following week. After Christmas it tumbled from #1 to #12. The song returned to the charts the next 2 years at Christmas, going to #10 in 1958 and #30 in 1959.

During the Christmas season of 1978, Boney M. returned the song to the top of the British charts with the melody "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord." According to Boney M. member Marcia Barrett in the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I always thought of Boney M. as being put together by a spiritual force and we liked doing spiritual songs. When we did Mary's Boy Child, we added a bit spontaneously at the end. As it worked, we left it in." Hence the record was listed as a medley of "Mary's Boy Child" and "Oh My Lord."

At the end of 2007, Boney M's medley of this song and "Oh My Lord" was the 10th top selling single of all time in the UK. In addition Boney M's version of "River's Of Babylon" was at that date the fifth top selling single of all time in the UK, making them the only act to have 2 singles in the UK all-time Top 10 best sellers list.

Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness) Lyrics

Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)

In our interview with HIM lead singer Ville Valo , he explained that this song took him 8 and a half years to complete. "I started working on that back in 2001 and recorded it in 2009," he said. "It's a simple song, but that's the problem with the simple songs. It might be that the infrastructure of the song sounds fine and it sounds beautiful and it will play on acoustic guitar, but then when you try to arrange it to be played by the whole band, then it loses something. It's especially true in our case, because we're balancing on the razor's edge between the more sentimental and melodic stuff versus the really hard hitting stuff, so we have to get that balance right."

A great example of HIM's Love Rock sound, this one is a heartbreaker, with Ville Valo singing about a woman who took him to heaven but then back down to hell. The lyrics, "turned three sevens into three sixes again" are a clever reference to this swingline, as the three sevens reference a winning pull on a slot machine, which the three sixes is the biblical Number of the Beast (666).

When Love Starts to Die

Sometimes listed under its initialism W.L.S.T.D., this song, like many in HIM's canon, explores the feeling of love, and what happens when it goes away.

Some HIM songs take literally years to compose, as they try different arrangements until it meets their standards. This one, however, came very quickly. In our interview with HIM lead singer Ville Valo , he explained: "I hummed the basic riff while on my way to the rehearsal place, so that took about one day to finish up the entire thing, more or less. And by a day I mean like five hours."

Stardust Lyrics

Stardust

The composer/bandleader Hoagy Carmichael wrote this after giving up his law career in 1927 and first recorded it that year with his orchestra as a Jazz number. According to legend, Carmichael came up with the song when he went for a walk under the stars and started thinking about former girlfriends.

Carmichael's instrumental version did pretty well, and two years later, Mitchell Parish added lyrics and Carmichael reworked the song as a slow ballad. The bandleader/saxophonist Isham Jones recorded this new arrangement, which became the first of many hit records of the tune. The song became a Big Band standard, with just about every prominent bandleader and singer of the '30s and '40s performing it, making it one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century.

Originally published with a 2-word title ("Star Dust"), this classic song incorporates a timeless theme: the solace of dreams when overwhelmed by heartbreak. If you can't be with your love, at least you can dream about her.

Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby both released renditions of this song in 1931. Once the Swing era took hold, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey all recorded the song. In 1940, Dorsey recorded a new version with the vocal group The Pied Pipers, which featured a young Frank Sinatra.

Billy Ward and the Dominoes took the song to #12 US in 1957, and that same year Nat King Cole's version hit #79 US and #24 UK. Cole's version proved most enduring and was revived when it was featured in the 1993 movie Sleepless In Seattle. Other charting versions of the song in the US were recorded by Frank Sinatra as a solo artist (#98, 1962) and Nino Tempo & April Stevens (#32, 1964).

In 1978, Willie Nelson released a Country version, using it as the title track to his album.

Bette Midler considers this her favorite song, with the lyrics, "And now the purple dusk of twilight time steals across the meadows of my heart" her favorite words.

Paul McCartney is also a big fan: he said in his Club Sandwich newsletter that it is the song he most wished he had written.

Ringo Starr's first post-Beatles album, Sentimental Journey, is a collection of standards that includes this song (arranged by Paul McCartney).

Gone With The Sin Lyrics

Gone With The Sin

A track from the Finnish band HIM's second album, this one finds lead singer Ville Valo describing his affection for a girl who is filled with anguish. He sings about her looks, as well as the deep despair that engulfs her heart. He loves her as she is just like him - so lost in this world of pain, suffering and tormented. The title is a play on the classic novel, Gone With The Wind.

This is one of HIM's more popular songs, going to #1 in Finland. Ville Valo tells us that the song was composed once they had the album essentially completed, which is a fruitful time for the band since they suddenly find themselves more relaxed. "Once all that stuff is out of your system - meaning recorded and produced - then all of a sudden you feel a breath of fresh air, this sense of relief," he said. "These days when we're booking studio time, I like to leave an extra week at the very end in case we have some ridiculously good idea that we still want to try out."

I hurl into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)

Falling

The third single from American girl group Haim's debut studio album, Days Are Gone, is an R&B banger that finds vocalist Danielle Haim crooning about matters of the heart. The song was released in Britain on February 12, 2013 and peaked at #30 on the UK Singles Chart.

The video was directed by Tabitha Denholm, formerly of the band Queens of Noize, and was shot in the hills near Pasadena, California, with some scenes shot at a botanical garden. The idea was for the Haim sisters to look stranded.

Danielle Hain told VH1: "I think we wrote the song at a time when we weren't playing around LA, nothing was really happening. We kinda wrote it as a 'Stay strong' kind of cheerleading song."

Producer Ariel Rechtshaid told The Guardian that he recorded a live version of the song, which he used as a framework for his knob twiddling. "I was messing around with 'Falling' while they were on tour," he explained. "Their live version had a lot of percussion on it – almost a Talking Heads jam session. I got my hands on an original LM-1 Linn drum; it's got a really special swing and groove to it, and I recreated Danielle's drum pattern on that – it inspired one thing and another. Layers and layers came together."

At one point in the video, Alana Haim pulls a fish out of the water. She wiggles it convincingly, but this fish was already dead. Director Tabitha Denholm says that she tried shooting the scene with a live fish, but Alana couldn't hold on to it, so a lifeless substitute shaken for effect was used instead.

Days Are Gone Lyrics

And I got back up
When I lost control over it all, over it all
And I knew that I couldn't take no more
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
All the times I've said it
All the times I've said it before
Those Days Are Gone
'Cause you didn't know how
And I know that now
I want it all, I want it all

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

I remember when you found it hard to give
But I gave it all, I gave you my all
You only took one side
When all my hopes ran dry
Those dreams are gone, gone all along
All the times I said it
All the times I've said it before
I'm moving on
You can have my past, I'll never get that back
I'm moving on, 'cause those days are gone

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Those days are gone, those days are gone
Those days are gone, holding on,
Holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
Those days are gone

Days Are Gone

The Haim sisters wrote this song with British pop soul songstress Jessie Ware and her frequent songwriting partner, Nu-Folk artist Kid Harpoon. The American trio met Ware through a mutual friend while they were on tour in London and despite her tight schedule, managed to pen this tune during a five-hour lunch. Haim didn't set out to write a song that would end up on Days On Gone since as Alana of the trio explained to Radio.com , "It was mostly like, 'Let's write a song so you don't get in trouble,'" but they soon realized it was too good to pass up.

Danielle Haim told MTV News why they named their debut album after this song. The sisters had intended to go the eponymous route but changed their minds after realizing "Days Are Gone" was the perfect metaphor for their many missed album deadlines. "A lot of people actually wanted us to hand in the record a lot earlier than we did because the Forever EP, came out over a year ago," she said. "But it wasn't right."

Haim wrote the chorus with Jessie Ware in an hour. Este Haim told NME: "The entire first line was written after a dinner we had at 11 at night in the studio. The first thing I sang when I got on the mic stuck."
Alana added: "The spirit of Mariah Carey just flew into Este's body."

And I believe You're my portion
Lord I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
More than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need

You're my healer

Healer

"Healer" is a modern hymn written by the Australian songwriter and evangelical Christian Michael Guglielmucci. It was inspired by his struggle with cancer - which is truly inspirational. Except that it wasn't; in September 2006, Guglielmucci was treated at hospital after a minor accident; the cancer was all in his head, although not literally.

Two years later his father - his terrestrial one, not the one in the sky - revealed the truth. His son had been suffering not from cancer but from the sins of the flesh, in particular an addiction to pornography. The case became a national scandal, but Jesus will probably forgive him in the end, even if the Australian public won't.

My Song 5 Lyrics

I found it hard, tried to reserve
I'll get it right when I am heard
(Hot for me)
The man's his own
(Hot for me)
To her he'll go
(Hot for me)
But I'll be fine
(Hot for me)
'Cause I know

He's in her heart, on the floor thinkin' than I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again

I've been lied to
So what's the truth?
Now I'm not gonna hide it all, keep it in all from you
I've been dying to know what you tried
You've been lying so
Honey I'm not your honey pie

He's in her heart, on the floor thinking that I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again

If you want to see me baby please
Been holding on for eternity
Say you only want me
Missing you never led to much of anything

If you wanna know, if you wanna show
How it means, what it seems, seems to be,
Held by a thread, tried to forget
But I'll never let it go
Honey I'm not your honey pie

Tried to lie, dying to hear all lies
Trying to
Tried to lie, dying to hear all lies
Trying

He's in her heart, on the floor thinkin' than I'll never know
I'll be up going through crazy shit I did for you
In my mind, in my head seeing all the words unsaid
Honey honey I am never coming home again

I've been lied to
So what's the truth?
Now I'm not gonna hide it all, keep it in all from you
I've been dying to know what you tried
You've been lying so
Honey I'm not your honey pie

My Song 5

This experimental Hip-Hop belter finds the Haim girls exacting revenge on the men who've done them wrong. "It's the one track that really pushed us out of our comfort zone" Alana Haim told NME. When I'm pissed off and wanna come back to life I always listen to 'You Got Lucky' by Tom Petty. I wanted this song to be like 'You Got Lucky."'

Alana explained the song's title to NME: "When you open up GarageBand it says 'My Song 1,' and that was 'My Song 5.'"

A reworked version of the song featuring rapper A$AP Ferg was released to celebrate the seventh anniversary of Haim's first live show.

The song's music video was directed by Dugan O'Neal (Chromeo and TV on the Radio). The clip features a fake Jerry Springer-type talk show called The Dallas Murphy Show hosted by Saturday Night Live comic Vanessa Bayer. Each of the Haim sisters play a different role in the clip - bassist Este reveals she has a thing for mimes, Alana is a production assistant andt Danielle appears right at the end of the clip. A$AP Ferg, meanwhile finds out his girl is cheating on him with another girl. "Haim came to me with an idea I had been thinking about and trying to make for a few years," said O'Neal. "In other words, magic."

Look out for cameos from Big Sean, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Days Are Gone producer Ariel Rechtshaid, and Haim's own parents in the audience as well as Grimes in the green room with Danielle. Also check out friend of the band Kesha, who reveals that she's in love with her cat, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Artemis Pebdani, who fears those cotton balls.

This song finds Danielle Haim recalling a former lover. The Haim vocalist stutters in the chorus:

"Cause my honey and I, yeah yeah
My honey and I (x3)
D-doing just fine, yeah."

The band told VH1: "We decided that we wanted to write a simple, guitar-based song because we hadn't in awhile. I think that was a happy time in a relationship."

So Close Lyrics

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym,
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him.
And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor,
When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door.

Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand,
Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand.
Or she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall.
Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall.

So Close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today.
We're so close, so close, yet so far away.

Some people think, if you really believe,
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries.
Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun,
She says "I don't want to be wise, I just want to stay young".

So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today.
Baby we're so close, so close, yet so far away.

There's a restless look in your eye tonight.
There's a secret hurt in my heart.
And the dream that pulls us together girl,
Is a dream, that's gonna tear us, tear us apart.

There's a restless look in your eye tonight,
Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of here.
We gotta fight to keep it together girl,
For the dream, that keeps us,

So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
Who would of thought girl that we'll end up this way.
Getting' so close, so close,
So far away.

We're living in a dream world.
Yet we're livin' today girl.
Just you and me baby.
Gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try.

So Close

The biggest Hall & Oates hit of the '90s, this song explores the vagaries of love: how we can be so close to the perfect union, but overcome with longing when it just isn't right.

Daryl Hall wrote the original version of this song with George Green, who was the co-writer on some of John Mellencamp's hits, including "Hurts So Good" and "Rain On The Scarecrow." Hall & Oates recorded an acoustic version of the song that ended up being used as the B-side of the single (listed as "So Close (Unplugged)"), but their record company thought the song had more hit potential with full instrumentation, and called in Danny Kortchmar to produce it, who brought along some high-profile help: Jon Bon Jovi.

Kortchmar, who played guitar on some of the biggest albums of the '70s (Jackson Browne's Running On Empty, Carole King's Tapestry), had moved into production work and recently finished co-producing Jon's Blaze of Glory album when he got the call to work on "So Close."

"We were just having a ball in the studio," Kortchmar said of the Blaze of Glory sessions. "So when I got the call to produce this single, I said, 'Jonny, what do you say, let's do this.' So he said, 'Sure, man. Great. I love Hall & Oates. Let's keep going.'"

Kortchmar and Bon Jovi burnished the song into a hit and made a few changes to its structure. Always an astute businessman, Jon asked for composer credits on the song for him and Kortchmar, which were granted. The hit version of the song is thus credited to Hall/Green/Kortchmar/Bon Jovi.

Big Banana

This ode to underwhelming men finds Brown turning the tables on misogynist males. "It's something for the girls and the gay boys. There hasn't been a song about that for a long time. The guys get out there and talk about big-booty women, big boobs," she said. "There's this unrealistic expectation on girls so I thought, hang on, do you have a big banana?"

The song features the Dutch DJ and record producer R3hab, who alongside Afrojack and Chuckie, is one of the main exponents of the modern "Dutch House" subgenre. Rapper Prophet of 7Lions also contributes to the tune.

Released as the third single from Flashing Lights, the song peaked at #18 on the on the ARIA Singles Chart and topped US Hot Dance Club Songs.

The music video was directed by Icelandic software developer Einar Egilsson and shot on February 20, 2013 at the Encino Hills in Los Angeles, United States. American model and actor Nick Baga plays Brown's love interest. "The clip reflects everything about the song," said the singer, "it's fun, upbeat, tongue-in-cheek; it's dirty but fun at the same time."

Rock Star

This is about the grunge scene that was still in full effect in the early '90s. It's about how every band from Seattle thought they had a right to a record deal simply because they went along with what was the hot commodity: "Well I went to school in Olympia," "Everyone's the same."

This was deleted from the album and replaced by an outtake, "Olympia." Since Kurt Cobain died shortly before the album was released, it was thought that the lines "So much fun to be Nirvana, how would you like to be Nirvana? I'd rather die" caused the retraction, but the band and the Geffen label claimed it was pulled because it did not fit the album.
