You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) Song Chart

The Beatles started recording the song in 1967, adding all the instrumentation and a saxophone part played by Brian Jones from The Rolling Stones. Lennon and McCartney added all of the crazy vocals in April 1969. Finally, it was released as the B-side of the "Let It Be" single in 1970. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

John Lennon got the idea for this when he saw a phone book on Paul McCartney's piano.

McCartney: "My favorite Beatles track... because it's so insane."

This is one of four Beatles songs never released in stereo. The others are "Love Me Do," "I'll Get You" and "She Loves You."

Album: Dreamin' Out Loud
Released: 1996

There's a Girl in Texas Lyrics

When I rode out of Dallas
Chasing down a dream
I thought I knew what I was looking for
But the neon nights have blinded me
'Til I'm lost in Tennessee
Not sure I know who I am anymore, but

There's a Girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

You're a truly lovely lady
And you sure light up the night
I'm a lonely man but I'm leaving here alone
I won't try to lie to you
About this heart of mine
That I can't give, that I don't really own, 'cause

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

If this dream that I've been chasing
Ever sets me free
And I wake up to find it don't need me, yes

There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
There's a girl in Texas
That does

Yes, there's a girl in Texas that I still love

There's a Girl in Texas Song Chart

On his Live Country! DVD, recorded on August 1, 2014 at The Paramount in Huntington, New York, Adkins said this was his "new favorite old song." Telling the story behind it, he said: "In 1992 I moved to Nashville, Tennessee. I'd been living in Dallas, playing honky-tonks out there in Texas. Fast forward to 1994, and I'm trying to get a record deal with Capitol Records. The guy says, 'Is there a girl in Texas?' I said, 'Hell yeah there's a girl in Texas. There's a bunch of girls.' He said, 'Write me a song about it.'"

With that in mind, Adkins came up with this song about leaving Texas - and in many ways his identity - behind. He knows that no matter what happens, there's a girl back in Texas who gets him.

Adkins' reality was a little different than what he sings about in this song. He moved to Nashville at the urging of his second wife, who wanted to put some distance between them and his first wife. Around the same time, he got a call from his former booking agent, who urged him to pursue his music career.

This was Adkins first single; it made a respectable showing on the Country chart, peaking at #20. He would go on to become one of the biggest names in the business, selling over 10 million albums.

Adkins wrote this song with Vip Vipperman, whose credits include "1982" by Randy Travis and "Sideways" by Darryl Worley.

The video did very well on CMT and helped launch Adkins' career. It was directed by Michael Merriman, who also did the clips for "Boot Scootin' Boogie" by Brooks & Dunn and "If I Lost You" by Travis Tritt.

The End Song Chart

The line "In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make" is essentially the Beatles closing statement. It is the last lyric on the last album they recorded. Let It Be was the last album they released, but it was recorded earlier.

This starts over the end of "Carry That Weight," and is the last song in a suite at the end of the Abbey Road album.

Lennon, McCartney and Harrison took turns doing guitar solos. If you listen closely, you can hear how the styles change from one to the other. This is the only time in the Beatles' history that they traded riffs. (thanks, Matt - Lancaster, PA)

The phrase "Love You" is repeated 24 times.

On this song, you can hear the only drum solo Ringo Starr ever performed as a Beatle. He hated solos and had to be persuaded to do it, with McCartney convincing him that the drum fill was necessary as a transition. Ringo later said that he could never re-create the solo if he tried.

This ends with a 30-piece orchestra.

When Paul McCartney was on Saturday Night Live, he did the skit "Chris Farley's Talk Show," in which Chris was really nervous to be talking to a Beatle, and you can see it from his disheveled look, sweat, and stuttering. One funny part is when Chris asks, "Do you remember when you said 'in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make?'" To which Paul responds "yes" in such a serious, and slightly irritated, way that you can't help but laugh. (thanks, Natasha - Chico, CA)

According to Geoff Emerick who engineered the album, the guitar solos are in this order; Paul, George,and John. Paul wanted to go first and John wanted to go last. (thanks, Phil - New Britain, CT)

Ride Lyrics

Take a trip from here

Bogalusa, Baton Rouge
New Orleans, Picayune
Boloxi, Pascagoula
Mobile Bay,Big full moon
Diesel up just north of Destin
Headed cross to Jacksonville
Love to see the world come at me
Through the bugs
On a big windshield
Yeah, that's right

Tear it down in Raleigh-Durham
Haven't got an hour to lose
Head up to the coast to Virginia
Read the newest Newport News
Back across the Appalachians
Blowin' into Louisville
Love to feel the big wheels turnin'
Always have and always will

Somewhere inside me
There's a new direction
Somewhere before me
There's an open road
Can't go to sleep
Without that diesel singin'
Somebody tellin' me
It's time to go
Let's Ride
Come on boys, let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride

Little Rock, Texarkana,
Dallas, Fort-Worth and El Paso
A hundred and ten in the desert
Pedal down
Go dog go
Always love to see the people
Always love to hear the crowd
Always love to bring a party
Turn it up and play it loud

Somewhere inside me
There's a new direction
Somewhere before me
There's an open road
Can't go to sleep
Without that diesel singin'
Somebody tellin' me
It's time to go
Let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride

Let's ride like the wind
I'll be back again
As sure as this world's spins around
One day I might find a reason
To shut this thing down
But for now
Let's ride

Somewhere inside me
There's a new direction
Somewhere before me
There's an open road
Can't go to sleep
Without that diesel singin'
Somebody tellin' me
Tell me, it's time to go
Let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride
Come on boys, let's ride
Yeah
Let's ride

Ride Song Chart

This song is about life on the road, mentioning several places a country singer might play on any given night (Pascagoula, Baton Rouge...). Introducing the song on his 2015 Live Country! DVD, Adkins says, "It's always a privilege to get in front of country music fans. Thank you for allowing me to do this. This is a song about what we do. We got the best job in the world: we travel around this country, we see all these beautiful cities, all these beautiful people. That's what this song talks about."

Craig Wiseman wrote this song with Peter Kvint. Wiseman is one of the most accomplished songwriters in Nashville, but Kvint isn't a name you typically see attached to a country song - the Swedish writer has written songs for Andreas Johnson and The Ark, and has also done production work for Britney Spears.

The Beatles - Golden Slumbers

Album: Abbey Road
Released: 1969

Golden Slumbers Lyrics

Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.

Once there was a way
To get back home.

Sleep, pretty darling,
Dot not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden Slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Once there was a way
To get back homeward

Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden Slumbers Song Chart

This song was based on a 17th century poem by Thomas Dekker called Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes:

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Rock them, rock them, lullaby
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you
You are care, and care must keep you
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Rock them, rock them, lullaby

Paul McCartney wrote this on his stepsister's piano. He saw the song "Golden Slumbers" in her songbook and, unable to read music, made up his own using most of the original lyrics.

According to Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, McCartney recorded this song on July 2, 1969, a day after Lennon suffered injuries from a car accident in Scotland that left him in a hospital until July 6th. So Lennon did not perform on this song. George Harrison played bass guitar as Paul was playing piano.

Recorded as one song with "Carry That Weight," this is part of a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road. It was the last album The Beatles recorded, although it was released before Let It Be.

Maintenance Man Lyrics

Maintenance Man Song Chart

Not to be confused with Toby Keith's "High Maintenance Woman," this lascivious scorcher is one of the more blues-inflected songs in Adkins canon. It finds him telling a girl that he can satisfy her every need in the bedroom.

On his 2015 Live Country! DVD, Adkins explained: "I was talking to a guy, and he said, 'I bet that girl is high maintenance.' I said, 'I don't have a problem with that - I'm your maintenance man, baby. I'll take care of you.'"

Adkins says this is one of the "nastiest" songs he's ever written. "It's a little embarrassing to sing in front of your mama," he adds.

Polythene Pam Lyrics

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
Yeah yeah yeah

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah yeah yeah.

Polythene Pam Song Chart

Polythene is a British term for Polyethylene, a plastic polymer used in containers, insulation, and packaging. Written by John Lennon, this song has a rather strange background, and fortunately our Beatles expert Pattie Noah has sorted it out. Writes Pattie: "On 'Polythene Pam,' John based her on two people. One was Patricia Hodgett, who was a Cavern Dweller (someone who hung out at the Cavern Club, where The Beatles used to play). Pat used to actually eat polythene! They started calling her 'Polythene Pat.' Not a far stretch to Pam. The other woman was named Stephanie, and she was the girlfriend of John's good friend, the poet Royston Ellis. John was with Ellis and Stephanie in the Channel Islands and they all had a three-way sexual experience with her wearing an outfit made from polythene. I think they were even doing it on a bed covered in sheets of polythene. Ellis said, 'We'd read all these things about leather and we didn't have any leather but I had my oilskins and we had some polythene bags from somewhere. We all dressed up in them and wore them to bed.' Ellis says nothing 'perverted' really happened... but John did ;)."

Lennon sang this in a thick Liverpool accent. Like the other Beatles, his regular singing voice sounded very American because he grew up listening to US artists.

In the line, "She's the kind of a girl that makes the News Of The World," The News Of The World is a tabloid newspaper that specializes in risqué news reporting. Pam must have been a wild girl. (thanks, Tim - Phoenix, AZ)

The Beatles recorded this as one song with "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window."

Originally intended for The White Album, this was used in a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road.

Every Light in the House Lyrics

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Every Light in the House is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Oh every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

Every Light in the House Song Chart

This was the second single Trace Adkins released, following There's a Girl in Texas. One of his most popular songs, it tells the story of a breakup where he tells his girl he'll leave a light on for her in case she ever comes back. He wants her back so bad that he turns on every light, figuring he'll start turning them off when he starts getting over her, which he never does.

This song was written by the Nashville songwriter Kent Robbins, who in 1997 died in a car accident at age 50. Robbins also wrote the Gary Allen song "Her Man" and The Judds song "Young Love (Strong Love)."

Adkins says he loves to do this song, but vocally, it's his hardest one to sing.

Sun King Song Chart

John Lennon wrote this song. He used to say that he dreamed 'Sun King,' but it's possible that he was also reading a book with that title by Nancy Mitford about the life of Louis XIV of France (The "Sun King" was a nickname given to King Louis XIV). He also was poking a bit of fun at George Harrison's "Here Comes The Sun." At one point the title was "Here Comes the Sun King."

The foreign part of the song is a garbled mixture of Spanish and Italian, which roughly translates to: "When for much my love of happy heart, world paparazzi my love green for warm sun, hill as much much that small carousel." "Paparazzi" has the same meaning in Italian as it does in English. (thanks, Spencer - Los Angeles, CA)

This was recorded as one song with "Mean Mr. Mustard." It's part of a suite of songs at the end of Abbey Road. They put together bits of unfinished songs to make up most of Side 2.

The Beatles got the idea to use reverb on this after hearing Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross."

In 2006, a backwards version of this song called "Gnik Nus" was included on the album Love, which was a soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show featuring the music of The Beatles. (thanks, Mike - Chicago, IL)

Flowers Song Chart

This beachy love song is the first tune to be released by Cody Simpson since exiting his contract with Atlantic and becoming an independent artist. "It's the first time I've had the creative freedom to do what I want," he told Rolling Stone.

The song and the rest of the Free album was created with Cisco Adler (Whitestarr, Shwayze) in Malibu. "It just came together so easily," Simpson said.

Simpson recruited his friend Miley Cyrus to design the artwork as he was in a hurry to get it up on iTunes. The American songstress grabbed a dying flower from her apartment and snapped away. She told Rolling Stone: "I shot it on some Polaroids, and then instead of complicating things, I said f--k it, I'm just going to shoot this s--t on an iPhone."

"[I was] just trying to do something simple for him," Cyrus added. "I just wanted something where people didn't have a stereotypical idea of what he was and could just look at the song for what it is, because it's a f--king epic song."

Because Song Chart

John Lennon got the idea for this song when he heard Yoko to playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on the piano. He asked her to play it backwards, and came up with "Because" based on what he heard. John said, "I was lying on the sofa in our house, listening to Yoko play Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano. Suddenly, I said 'Can you play those chords backward?' She did, and I wrote 'Because' around them. The song sounds like 'Moonlight Sonata,' too. The lyrics are clear, no bulls--t, no imagery, no obscure references."

The vocals are a 3-part harmony by Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison that was overdubbed twice, creating a 9-part harmony. This is the only Beatles song with three singers throughout. (thanks, Dwight Rounds, author of The Year The Music Died, 1964-1972 )

Lennon said the arrangement was terrible, but McCartney and Harrison felt this was the best track on Abbey Road.

This was the first use of a Moog synthesizer on any recording. Harrison had the instrument specially made, and did his best to figure it out.

The 2006 Love album, which is a soundtrack to the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show of the same name, features an a capella version of this song. The album contains 26 tracks which are made up of 130 separate recordings - some are just a chord or two, and some tracks are superimposed on other tracks. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Second Hand Heart Lyrics

She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too
But memories turn black and white, at least mine do…
She said my brother, you know, he used to have this friend…
But this is now and that was then

It’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my Second Hand Heart

I said if you could count up memories but only keep the best
You may not see how good they were without the rest
She said look I tried a lot
But I guess love it don’t like me
Oh and by the way, all those tries?
Sure didn’t come for free

So it’s better off just not to start
Than to have to watch us fall apart
All because of my second hand heart

Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Second hand hearts
Are not just for parts

So I’ll take away your sad luck baby
And you’ll change mine
When hurt starts talkin’ we’ll say hey, ya know, we ain’t got time
Then pick up all those small hopes back off the ground
’Cause after years of tears it’s hard to say what’s up or down

So if you will, I’ll try to start
And take the chance that we might fall apart
To try and save our second hand hearts
She said when I trusted love I dreamed in color too…

Second Hand Heart Song Chart

This song finds Yoakam singing of a woman who wishes she'd never started a relationship. He originally wrote the song's opening verse years previously planning to include it on 2012's Tree Pears. "I never finished it," he told Rolling Stone Country. "It wasn't meant to be a part of that record and now I know why. It's its own statement, and it led this collection of songs in a way."

The song's first line was borne out of a fictional conversation with somebody. "She said, 'When I trusted in love, I dreamed in color too,'" he explained. "I remember [being] in my house, singing it out loud and I thought, 'Who is this and why did she say that?'... and staring off into space and thinking, 'Who's the poor guy who's obviously smitten with the idea of the two of them?'"
