Unbreak My Mixtape Lyrics


Unbreak My Mixtape
  • This drum and bass breakup anthem finds M.I.A. addressing an ex by sending him a song chock full of references to other ditties. She croons:

    "Here's a mixtape that I made, let's take a break
    Don't wanna fuss away, baby if it's too late
    While I get my life so it is a mixtape."
  • The song title is a reference to Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart," whilst tunes sampled include Carly Simon's "Why," Fresh 4's cover of Rose Royce's "Wishing On A Star" and the acoustic guitar and vocal from Blur's "Tender." There is an extended snippet of Karen Dalton's "I Love You More Than Words Can Say" at the end.

    Album: not on an album
    Released: 2005

    Just Like Frank Zappa Lyrics


    Just Like Frank Zappa
  • This song is about a guy who laments that acid rock (The Beatles, The 5th Dimension, and The Mothers of Invention) killed the popularity of country-fried rock 'n' roll singers like Ricky Nelson and Jimmy Burton.
  • Howard Stern ridiculed this obscure song on his show because it is sung by rival radio host Don Imus.
  • The line, "Waitress, get me a Rueben and the Jets, easy on the acid" is a reference to the album Cruising With Ruben And The Jets by Frank Zappa And The Mothers of Invention.

    Preco Preheminencie
  • This piece was written by John Dunstable, and its first public performance appears to have been on August 21, 1416 to celebrate the victory of Henry V at the Siege of Harfleur and the Battle of the Seine. Both Henry and Emperor Sigismund were present at the Canterbury Cathedral celebrations. At the time this was a revolutionary style of music with long chords which became known as the English Sound.

    O My Hart Lyrics


    O My Hart
  • The spelling and titles vary, e.g. "O My Hart And O My Hart", "O My Heart", etc.

    This short song for the lute was composed by Henry VIII, who is known for marrying six wives and executing two of them. Henry was a fairly talented songwriter, but as his personal and political lives testify, his deeds seldom matched his fine words, as was undoubtedly the case here.

    Adew Adew Le Company Lyrics


    Adew Adew Le Company
  • This song was written by Henry VIII, King of England, and appears in his own songbook - which includes many songs by other composers.

    According to John Stevens in Music At The Court of Henry VIII, it was written in honour of Henry's firstborn son in January/February 1511.

    Alas, this joy was shortlived. Henry was married no less than six times; his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was the widow of Henry's elder brother, Arthur, who died April 2, 1502 aged only 15. At that time, arranged marriages were common amongst royalty and other powerful families, and some parties were betrothed very young. Henry was five years Catherine's junior, and appears from an early age to have wanted a son and heir. Catherine was unable to provide him with this; during their marriage she is thought to have fallen pregnant at least six times, but only one child survived: Mary, who was born February 18, 1516. Henry's first son was named after his father but died February 22, 1511 at only 52 days old.

    Pump And Squeeze Me Lyrics


    Pump And Squeeze Me
  • This song - if it can be called that - was written to expose the scam of fake fans, fake likes and astronomically inflated hits on social media sites. It appears to have been a collaborative effort by a team put together by documentary maker Chris Morris for the Channel 4 Dispatches series in the UK. It remains to be seen if any of its contributors would want a writing credit. The team began writing the "song" at 3pm and recorded it an hour later. In less than five months it ran up over a hundred thousand hits on YouTube, and around another four thousand in less than two weeks after the documentary was screened.

    Off My Face
  • According to the lady herself, this is a song about a relative, though it would not be politic to divulge too much information.

    "Back in his younger days he was quite reckless, the pressure of family life and being at home with the wife wasn't as appealing as the pub with his mates," Clay explained.

    Fortunately, even most teenage delinquents eventually grow up, and that is what happened here. You wouldn't recognize him now. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

  • According to the lady herself, this mid-tempo track is about her relationship with her father from childhood.

    "When it comes to my music, I don't hide anything as it's therapeutic to open your soul and bare it for a while." She added: "It may just help someone else going through anything similar."

    It also earned her a top ten spot in an American songwriting competition. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

  • According to the London Daily Mail of January 11, 2012, this was the first Lionel Bart song ever published, and earned him the princely sum of 25 guineas. It was recorded for The Billy Cotton Band Show, a radio program broadcast on the BBC. Bart, who was born Lionel Begleiter, was a composer of songs and musicals. His most famous work is the 1959 production Oliver!. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)
  • Bart wrote this song for an amateur theater company he worked with called the Unity Theatre. The song is a stab at American culture that had encroached into England, specifically the new coffee bars that were popping up around London.

    Old Boy At The Pictures
  • In his autobiography Cockney Reject, lead vocalist Jeff Turner said this early effort was inspired by a cinema trip to see the 1971 film Up Pompeii.

    "There was an old fella at the front eating toffees who kept laughing really loud so everyone was gobbing over his back. When he left, there were loads of greenies hanging off the back of his coat," said Turner.

    He calls the song "Absolute crap." Unfortunately, or perhaps otherwise, it never found its way onto disk. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

    King of the Fall
  • Titled after Abel "The Weeeknd" Tesfaye's King of the Fall tour, this five-minute effort finds the crooner n a typically debauched mode, as he boasts about snatching girls from right under their boyfriends' noses:

    Bring your girl to my show, give her floor seats
    Then she go downtown like she owe me

    Men might now be thinking twice about bringing their girl to a Weeknd gig.

  • If ever a song was written from the heart, it is this one. McCready co-wrote it with Tim Johnson in 2005. In May that year her then former lover Billy McKnight was charged with attempting to murder her. When a pregnant McCready appeared on Larry King Live, she said proceeds from its sales were going to Women Against Domestic Violence.

    The song was never officially released, although it has appeared on the internet. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

    The Hearse Song Lyrics


    The Hearse Song Song Chart
  • Also known as "The Worms Crawl In," this delightful ditty is thought to have originated from the First World War or earlier. Certainly fragments of the lyrics predate the 20th Century, and although our ancestors lacked the technology that makes possible gory horror films like ...Dream Warriors, they certainly did not lack lurid imaginations.

    Whether or not it is entirely or partly of American origin, it was popularized by the New England author Alvin Schwartz (1927-92), who included the lyrics of what might be called his version in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. This 1981 book was written for children, though many people - including those who run the American Library Association - did not consider it entirely suitable for young minds. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)
