Wasted Love Song Chart

Barnegat Light, New Jersey native Matt McAndrew has been writing songs in bands since he was a child. He decided whilst at high school that he was going to focus on a music career and graduated from University of the Arts in 2013. McAndrew released his debut solo album View of The Pines on March 1, 2014.

McAndrew's big break came about later in 2014 when he competed in season 7 of The Voice finishing as runner-up. His versions of "Take Me to Church," "The Blower's Daughter," "Make It Rain" and "Lost Stars" all charted in the Hot 100, the latter being a duet with his coach Adam Levine.

This was written in Toronto during October 2014 by Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, Shimon Moore of the rock band Sick Puppies, and Nettwerk One Publishing writer Mike Fiorentino. It was decided it would be a good song for McAndrew to perform during The Voice finale. The song debuted at #14 in the Hot 100, the highest chart position achieved by one of the show's contestants to date.

The song was produced in New York several days before the finale by Sterling Fox (Lana Del Rey's "Video Games," Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine's "Stereo Hearts").

Just My Imagination Lyrics

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
But it was Just My Imagination,
Runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three.
I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;
But it was just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.

Every night on my knees I pray, Dear Lord, Hear my plea;
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die.
Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody, but in reality she doesn't even know me.

Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
No, no, I can't forget her
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Just my imagination runnin' away with me.

Just My Imagination Song Chart

Motown writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote this in the late '60s, but since Psychedelic songs were popular at the time, Whitfield and Strong decided to wait a few years before releasing it. Whitfield pulled it out of the mothballs after the relative failure of The Temptations' "Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World)," which hit #33 in 1970. Whitfield wanted to steer the Temptations away from their string of socially relevant songs. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

This was the last single for the Temptations with Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams in the group. Eddie started a solo career and in 1973 scored his biggest hit with "Keep On Truckin'." Williams remained on salary as an advisor, but was plagued with personal problems - he was separated from his wife, owed back taxes and was being treated for alcoholism. He committed suicide in 1973 at age 34. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was the third of 4 #1 Hits by the Temptations. The track was released in February 1971, and took off right away, peaking at #1 in April.

The Rolling Stones covered this in 1978. They had a hit with another Temptations song, "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," in 1974.

Possibilities of an Impossible Existence Lyrics

Watch where you point your fucking finger.
It's a matter of time before you're all alone.
And you're waiting for someone to save you.
Now listen to these words I speak.

I am not a god.
I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
(I just want this weight off your shoulders.
Let your legs give in so it will crush you.
Open your fucking ears and listen to these words I speak.)

I am not a god, I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
Just leave this place.

This possibility of change has left us all alone.
Now look your family in the eyes and say goodbye.
The last bit of hope we had has been destroyed.
Just close your eyes and never wake up again.

You'll never wake up again.

How dare you enter.
Feel the pressure of our voices crushing your soul.
We don't want you dead.
We just want you to feel what it's like to be burned alive.
I will point my finger now.
And you will listen to these words I speak.

I am not a god, I'm not telling you to change.
All I want from you is to leave this place.
Just leave this place.

The possibility of change has left us all alone.
Now look your family in the eyes and say goodbye.
The last bit of hope we had has been destroyed.
Just close your eyes and never wake up again.

You'll never wake up again.

Possibilities of an Impossible Existence Song Chart

This is the tenth track from the band's fourth studio album, which was the first to feature Ben Harclerode on drums.

In an interview, Whitechapel singer-songwriter Phil Bozeman stated that the lyrics are based on the struggles with his stepfather, who entered his family after his father died. Phil said that he and his sisters wouldn't see their mother for days, never knowing if she was okay or even coming back in the end. Moreover, his stepfather didn't really care about the children and treated them badly. One can spot Phil's aggression towards his stepfather in the lyrics:

How dare you enter
Feel the pressure of our voices crushing your soul
We don't want you dead
We just want you to feel what it's like to be burned alive

Miss You Lyrics

I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
Lord I Miss You
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been staring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I've been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say
Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you
We're gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let's go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

Oh baby why you wait so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won't you come on come on

I've been walking central park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Ask me people, what's the matter with you boy?

Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say

Oooh oooh oooh oooh I won't miss you child

I guess I'm lying to myself
It's just you and no one else
Lord I won't miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child

Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Yeah, I miss you child

Miss You Song Chart

The lyrics were seemingly inspired by Mick Jagger's deteriorating relationship with his wife, Bianca. Jagger, has claimed otherwise, saying: "'Miss You' is an emotion, it's not really about a girl. To me, the feeling of longing is what the song is."

Session musicians included Sugar Blue (James Whiting) on harmonica, Mel Collins on sax and Ian MacLagan on electric piano. Collins had played with King Crimson, MacLagan had been in the band Faces with Stones guitarist Ron Wood. Sugar Blue was from Harlem, but was playing in the Paris metro (their subway) when someone from The Stones record company heard him and brought him to the sessions.

The bassline, horns and drums gave this a disco sound. It alienated many of their fans, but also propelled it to the top of the charts. The Stones thought of it as more R&B than disco.

Drummer Charlie Watts explained: "A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four on the floor rhythms and the Philadelphia-style drumming. Mick and I used to go to discos a lot... It was a great period. I remember being in Munich and coming back from a club with Mick singing one of the Village People songs - 'Y.M.C.A.', I think it was - and Keith went mad, but it sounded great on the dance floor." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This was the first single released from Some Girls. Jagger took a lead role on the album, mainly because Keith Richards had been arrested for drug possession in Toronto the previous year, and it was unclear what his sentence would be. Facing a maximum of life in prison, Keith had other things to worry about besides making an album. After this was released, the Canadian judge sentenced Richards to continue his addiction treatment and play a benefit concert for the blind.

Jagger and Billy Preston came up with the basic track while touring Europe in 1976. Stones bassist Bill Wyman said: "The idea for those bass lines came from Billy Preston. We'd cut a rough demo a year or so earlier after a recording session. I'd already gone home, and Billy picked up my old bass when they started running through that song. He started doing that bit because it seemed to be the style of his left hand. So when we finally came to do the tune, the boys said, Why don't you work around Billy's idea? So I listened to it once and heard that basic run and took it from there. It took some changing and polishing, but the basic idea was Billy's."

The same day they recorded this track, The Stones came up with the idea for "Start Me Up."

This is a rare Stones song with a dominant bassline. Many of their songs were driven by the rhythm guitar of Keith Richards.

This was the first song The Stones released as a 12-inch single. It was an extended dance mix that ran 8:36 and was released on pink vinyl. This version is not available on CD.

This was the last of eight #1 hits for The Rolling Stones in America.

When this song hit the charts, some other rockers felt safe entering the disco waters. Most notably Rod Stewart, who went disco with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" after hearing this song and seeing that The Stones were getting away with it. Stewart's song was a huge hit, but he faced more of a backlash from rock fans as he seemed to embrace the genre. Rather than shy away from his sexy smash, Stewart embraced it, making the song a staple of his setlists (somewhat ironically) throughout his career.

In the book Playboy Interviews with John Lennon & Yoko Ono (the book version has sections that were edited out of the official interview published in the magazine), Lennon is quoted as saying: "'Bless You' is again about Yoko. I think Mick Jagger took 'Bless You' and turned it into 'Miss You'... The engineer kept wanting me to speed that up - he said, 'This is a hit song if you'd just do it fast.' He was right. 'Cause as 'Miss You' it turned into a hit. I like Mick's record better. I have no ill feelings about it. I think it's a GREAT Stones track, and I really love it. But I do hear that lick in it." (thanks, Susan - Toronto, Canada)

Blues legend Etta James covered this on her year 2000 album Matriarch Of The Blues. It was usually the other way around for The Stones, as they covered many Blues songs in their early years.

Van Halen used the bassline to this on their 1981 song "Push Comes To Shove."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards performed this at the 2001 "Concert For New York," which helped victims of the attacks on The World Trade Center.

In 2002, Dr. Dre re-mixed this for the Austin Powers In: Goldmember soundtrack. (thanks, Greg - Calgary, United States)

Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix) Lyrics

Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix) Song Chart

The title track of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy EP, this is one of the British electronic music artist's best-known songs. In October 2011, NME placed it at #42 on its list of "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years."

Aphex Twin, aka Richard James, explained the story of this slice of industrial intensity with ghoulish lyrics to Index magazine: "Come to Daddy came about while I was just hanging around my house, getting pissed and doing this crappy death metal jingle," he recalled. "Then it got marketed and a video was made, and this little idea that I had, which was a joke, turned into something huge. It wasn't right at all."

James regards the finished article as too tame. "You do notice that you'll start to clench your fists and that's a good sign," he told Loaded. "But the clench factor wasn't tight enough for me."

The song was covered by The Dillinger Escape Plan on their 2002 EP with Mike Patton, Irony is a Dead Scene.

The track is heard twice in the Nicolas Cage film 8mm, when the vinyl record is played being in Machine's room and also on a TV screen in Dino Velvet's office.

The Chris Cunningham directed music video shows childlike creatures, all of whom bear James' grinning face pursuing an elderly lady, who then confronts a demon. The clip was filmed around the Thamesmead South housing estate, the same location as where Stanley Kubrick shot many scenes in A Clockwork Orange.

Pitchfork named the urban nightmare clip #1 in their list of Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s. They said: "Darkly comic and just plain dark, Chris Cunningham's tale of television unleashing hell in a dilapidated housing block plays like a gothic graphic novel, an ADD-riddled version of Village of the Damned, and an H.R. Giger-designed haunted house."

Fool To Cry Lyrics

When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she says
"Daddy what's wrong?"
I put my head on her shoulder
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says?
"Daddy you're a Fool To Cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

You know, I got a woman
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, "Tell me all your troubles"
You know what she says?
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

Daddy you're a fool to cry
Oh, I love you so much baby
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry, yeah
She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

She says, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry
Daddy you're a fool to cry

Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, "Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why"

I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a certified fool, now
I want to tell ya
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool baby
I'm a fool baby
Certified fool for ya, mama, come on
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

Fool To Cry Song Chart

This is an introspective ballad that was not typical of most Rolling Stones songs.

With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. American session man Wayne Perkins played on this and almost got the job, but Ron Wood beat him out.

This was the only song on Black And Blue to chart in England or the US.

Keith Richards fell asleep while they were performing this in 1976 while touring Germany.

Richards: "I was just glad somebody in the band could sing that falsetto. I got a pretty good falsetto myself. But when you got a singer and he can hit those notes, baby go for it. And Mick was always fascinated with the falsetto Soul singers like Aaron Neville. That's crafty stuff, you know what I mean? But he'd been listening to so many people. It's kinda like what goes in, will come out. You'll just hear a phrase or a piece of music. And one way or another it's part of your experience. And a lot of the time it comes out what you do without even realizing it. I don't really like to think about these things too much. It's more to do with feeling than intellectualizing about it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Canadian duo Tegan and Sara covered this in 2013 for the soundtrack for the HBO drama Girls. Their version can be found on the album, Girls, Vol. 1 (Music From the HBO Original Series). "Lena Dunham (Girls creator and star) reached out about us doing a track for the soundtrack," Tegan told the Toronto Sun. "When she said which one we were going to do I went and listened to it. I was like, 'Oh my god, this is a nightmare! How are we going to do this? It's like he's talking, he's meandering.' I was like, 'What the f---?"

"In the end I loved doing it," she continued, "I thought it was so great. I haven't really listened to a lot of them other than the popular Rolling Stones songs but it was cool to get into a deep cut. And the response has been insane. These teenage girls are like, 'I love this song!' And I say, 'You're welcome, Rolling Stones. We just got you into another generation.'"

Voice of Truth Lyrics

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

[Chorus]
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Voice of Truth Song Chart

Casting Crowns frontman Mark Hall was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child. He wrote this song with Steven Curtis Chapman around his struggles with learning issues at school. Hall recalled: "The beginnings of this song came from the first song I ever wrote, called 'Fear.' Growing up with dyslexia and some learning challenges, Satan used that in my life to keep me very small and very afraid to ever try anything, to ever leap out of my boat and do something that I knew I couldn't do. I'm learning that God often puts us in the position to do the unthinkable knowing we're not able to. God's not intimidated by what intimidates me and if I can just understand that all He wants me to do is obey Him and that the things that scare me, don't scare Him."

"This was the first song Steven [Curtis Chapman] and I wrote on together, and he pulled out that chorus of 'voice of truth.'"

Released as Casting Crown's third single, this spent fourteen consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart.

This featured in the trailer and the ending of the 2006 movie Facing the Giants.

The song won a Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year at the 2005 GMA Dove Awards.

Hurry here, hustlin' there

Money's tight, nothin' free
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded, caught in the Crossfire

Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime
Come on can't you see that I

I am stranded, caught in the crossfire

I need some kind of kindness, some kind of sympathy oh, no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire

Save the strong lose the weak
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody don't be no fool
Whatever happened to the golden rule?

We got stranded, caught in the crossfire

In Step was Stevie's first album after he stopped drinking, and is dedicated to sobriety. The album title is a reference to the 12 step program for alcoholics. The songs on the album refer to the pressures of life that lead to alcohol abuse, but show how you can still rock out even when you are sober.

This was written by the Austin-based songwriter Bill Carter and his wife/songwriting partner Ruth Ellsworth. The pair also wrote "Willie The Wimp" for Vaughan and Why Get Up?, which was recorded by The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Carter was in a band with Johnny Depp called P! in the mid-'90s.

Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton and Reese Wynans, all of whom were members of Vaughan's band Double Trouble, also got a songwriting credit on this track.

Stevie was tragically killed in a helicopter crash on Aug 27 1990, moments after sharing the stage (and guitar jam) with Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and brother Jimmy Vaughan. (thanks, Brad - Brisbane, Australia)

Chameleon Lyrics

Chameleon Song Chart

This instrumental was composed by Herbie Hancock in collaboration with saxophonist Bennie Maupin, bass guitarist Paul Jackson and drummer Harvey Mason. All four songwriters played on the original version on Head Hunters, which features solos by Hancock and Maupin.

The song has a characteristic jazz bass line and is set to a funk beat. "I knew that I had never heard any jazz players really play funk like the funk I had been listening to," said Hancock. "Instead of getting jazz cats who knew how to play funk. I got funk cats who knew how to play jazz."

The song is one of the most widely recognized jazz standards, and has become standard repertoire in most small jazz ensembles. The Head Hunters album is a defining moment in the genre of jazz funk, and in 2003, it was ranked at #411 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list.

Head Hunters was a crossover hit thanks to its marriage of traditional jazz and the funk sounds of James Brown, and Sly Stone. Uncut magazine asked Herbie Hancock what inspired Head Hunters' mix of the two genres? He replied; "Two things. One was my own background living in Chicago, which is a blues town. When I was a kid, even though my parents would play classical music on the radio, they also played jazz records, and of course I heard R&B records, which were a part of my generation at that time growing up in the '40s. So that was my roots."

"But also there was Sly Stone with 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)' and James Brown that I was listening to in the early '70s. At a certain point I felt the need to play music that was more tethered, something that was more earthy. It was certainly a new approach for me and I didn't realise  that I was carving out new territory."

On the album, this runs a hearty 15:41. A version running just 2:50 was released as a single.

There are about 160 species of chameleon living in Africa, Madagascar, Spain and Portugal, and across south Asia as far as Sri Lanka. Some species of chameleons can change the color of their skins for camouflage, or to signal mood to other chameleons. This is caused by stress and changes in the intensity of light and temperature, which alter the dispersal of pigment granules in the layers of cells beneath the outer skin.

The word is used figuratively to describe a fickle person who shifts according to the opinions of others just as a chameleon can change its color to blend with its background.

Fun Fact: Chameleons have the most distinctive eyes of any reptile. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously. This gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their bodies (Source The Encyclopedia of Trivia )

Cherry Oh Baby Song Chart

This is cover of Eric Donaldson's 1971 reggae song. The Stones recorded Goats Head Soup three years earlier in Jamaica, but this is the most they got into reggae.

This was the first time Ron Wood appeared on a Stones album. They were auditioning lead guitarists during Black And Blue, and while Wood only played on this and "Hey Negrita," he was named to the band before it was released and appeared on the cover.

The Reggae group from England UB40 also covered this. It's on their 1983 album Labour Of Love. (thanks, Christopher - Greenfield Center, NY)

Charlie Watts (from According to the Rolling Stones ): "The reggae influence on the songs on Black And Blue came primarily from Keith... Mick was certainly into reggae. I had all those (reggae) records in France with me when we moved there and when we were recording tracks for Exile on Main St. at Keith's house. Mick used to have them as well. I'd play him 'Cherry Oh Baby' or he'd play one to me. And The Harder They Come was an album Keith listened to a lot." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Anthem Lyrics

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in

We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me

(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in

You can add up the parts
You won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee

(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring)
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

The actress Rebecca De Mornay dated Cohen in the early 1990s. She recalled to Uncut in 2014 how she ended up producing this track. "Leonard was at my house, and I had a synthesizer," she said. "He was off in a room, playing a song that I'd heard him play over and over for a couple of years, that he just wasn't sure what to do with. I went in and said, 'That's it! Exactly like that!' I think he'd moved the lyrics around, because they'd never had that effect on me before. I said, 'It's universal, I'm telling you, like "Silent Night," or "Auld Lang Syne," so why don't we bring in a gospel choir?' And he turned and looked at me very strangely. And he said, 'I want you to produce this song."

De Mornay explained what the song means to her. "To me, 'Anthem' was the pinnacle of his deep understanding of human defeat. 'I can't run no more with that lawless crowd, while the killers say their prayers out loud... And they've summoned up a thundercloud, and they're going to hear from me,'" she said. "That 'I' – that's the soul of Leonard Cohen. He doesn't suffer fools. He's deeply kind and generous-spirited, but he's not a sweet little monk."

This was prominently used on the soundtrack for Oliver Stone's 1994 film Natural Born Killers along with two other Leonard Cohen songs "Waiting for the Miracle" and "The Future."

Hot Stuff Lyrics

Hot Stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, hot stuff, can't get enough
The music is mighty, mighty fine
Hot stuff, hot stuff can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough
Hot stuff, can't get enough

Music is mighty fine
Hot stuff

Hot stuff, I can't get enough
I can't get enough
The music is what I want
My body always moving, ah, stick it
Hot stuff

Everyday I get another dose
I can't stand it when the music stops
Hot stuff

All the people in New York City
I know you're all going broke, but you're tough
Yeah, hot stuff, hot stuff

To everybody in Jamaica
That's working in the sun
Your hot, your hot stuff
Shake it up, hot stuff

Hot stuff
Hot stuff
Hot stuff

Hot Stuff Song Chart

With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. Harvey Mandel from Canned Heat played on this, but Ron Wood got the job.

This was dangerously close to Disco - Donna Summer had a Disco hit 3 years later with the same title.

Billy Preston played the piano, Ollie E. Brown was on percussion.

"Hot Stuff" was the working title for the album until they decided on Black And Blue.
