Bicycle Race Song Chart
  • Freddie Mercury wrote this in France after watching the Tour de France bicycle race ride by his hotel. The band were recording Jazz in the French countryside mainly as a tax break - Roger Taylor claimed in the Days of our Lives documentary that they were being taxed as much as 98% on royalties on previous albums, hence why they defected to France and later Montreux in Switzerland to record future albums.
  • This was released as a double A-side single with "Fat Bottomed Girls." They ran back to back on the album, and many radio stations played them together. The "Fat Bottomed Girls" are mentioned in this song's lyrics.
  • Wherever Queen played, bicycle shops sold out of bells bought by fans who brought them to the show to ring them during this song.
  • Queen staged a bicycle race around Wimbledon stadium in England to promote the single. 65 professional models were hired to race nude, with special effects hiding the nudity in the original video; a photo from the race was used on the cover of the single and images from the race were used for the video.

    Queen rented 65 bicycles for the race. When the company found out what they were used for, they refused to take the bikes back unless the band paid for new seats.

    The album contained a poster of the women in the bicycle race. It was left out of some copies for stores that did not want to carry it, but fans could mail order the poster if they desired. A bikini bottom was digitally added to the cover of the single, and on some US releases a bra was also added.
  • At a 1978 concert in Madison Square Garden, Queen re-created the video by having women with very little clothing ride bicycles around the stage.
  • Queen had a lot of success the year before with another double A-side, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions."
  • Be Your Own Pet covered this for the 2005 Queen tribute album Killer Queen. (thanks, Rachel - South Point, OH)
  • The song features surprisingly complex instrumentation, and the Jazz album as a whole perhaps represents the apex of Queen's experimentation. It features an imaginative solo played exclusively on bicycle bells, unusual chord progressions, shifts in time signature (from 4/4 to 6/8) and a whole host of pop culture references in the lyrics, including mentions of religion, the Watergate scandal, drugs, Jaws, Star Wars and Frankenstein.

    Foolish Father Lyrics


    Simple love songs
    Drenched in poisons
    I've been out of long

    Hesitate to throw your stones
    When criminals are victims
    Looking back into our past
    There's no cause for these symptoms now

    Forgive your Foolish Father
    He did the best that he could do
    You are his daughter
    He'd do anything for you

    Think of how destroyed he feels
    Walking to his grave plot
    Knowing that the one he loves
    Hates him with all of her heart

    Forgive your foolish father
    He did the best that he could do
    You are his daughter
    He'd do anything for you

    Please Remember your dad
    Although he's been astray
    How comical
    The stuff that makes a man

    Forgive your foolish father
    He did the best that he could do
    You are his daughter
    He'd do anything for you

    Anything for you, anything for you
    Anything, anything, anything for you
    Anything for you

    Everything will be alright in the end
    Everything will be alright in the end
    Everything will be alright in the end
    Everything will be alright in the end

    Foolish Father Song Chart
  • This song finds Rivers Cuomo asking someone to forgive the poor parenting skills of their dad. He told NME the lyrics, "could be me singing about my father or me singing about my daughter."
  • Rivers' father, Frank Cuomo, walked out on his family in the mid-'70s, when the Weezer frontman was about four. Rivers saw Frank infrequently after that and he sung about his absent dad on Weezer's 1994 hit "Say It Ain't So." They renewed their relationship around the time "Say It Ain't So" was released and Frank has become a big presence in his son's life in recent years. "Now I see him all the time," Rivers told Rolling Stone. "Now that I'm a father, I've forgiven my parents."

    Tie Your Mother Down Song Chart
  • Queen guitarist Brian May wrote this song. In a 1976 interview on Capital Radio, Freddie Mercury was asked "why tie your mother down?" The Queen frontman replied: "Well this one in fact is a track written by Brian (May) actually, I dunno why. Maybe he was in one of his vicious moods. I think he's trying to out do me after 'Death On Two Legs' actually."
  • The video, which is comprised of concert footage of the band, was shot in Nassau Coliseum in Long Island during Queen's 1977 US tour. Queen discovered the power of music videos two years earlier when TV shows started playing the video they made for "Bohemian Rhapsody."
  • Brian May clearly has a lot of affection for this song - it was included in the setlist of almost all Queen shows, as well as his solo tours in the 1990s, the reunited Queen + (Paul Rogers and Adam Lambert) tours, and even on his various performances with Kerry Ellis. On the Acoustic by Candlelight tour with Ellis, he performed a slowed-down, Country-style version of the song to better fit the acoustic performance.

    If Brian May and occasionally Roger Taylor guest with other bands, this is commonly the song May will play with the band - they have performed it numerous times with the Foo Fighters and The Darkness.
  • Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen performed this when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins from The Foo Fighters played with them.
  • After Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991, a concert was held in his honor in Wembley Stadium in London. At the show, Joe Elliott from Def Leppard sang this with Slash from Guns N' Roses on guitar. The concert drew 72,000 fans and raised money to fight AIDS.
  • Queen commonly used explosions for effect during live and video performances of this song. During the video shoot, Roger Taylor was blown off his stool and off the stage due to an explosion placed in a bucket on his riser. While watching certain versions of the video you can see the part cut out, where Freddie turns around to face the back of the stage almost immediately. The recording had to be stopped for a moment because Roger was on the floor. Luckily, he was fine, though Brian May states clearly in video commentary, "Nearly killed Roger, it has to be said!" (thanks, Lorena - Miami, FL)
  • This song was covered by Shinedown for the 2005 Queen tribute album Killer Queen. (thanks, Rachel - South Point, OH)
  • Guns N' Roses has covered this song live with guitarist Brian May in concert. (thanks, Jonathon - Clermont, FL)
  • In the documentary Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story, we learn that his close circle of male friends all had female nicknames, and Freddie's was mother. (thanks, Becky - Locust Grove, GA)
  • On the TV show Al Murray's Happy Hour, on each episode a band would appear and have to cover a Queen song in the outro of the show. The Welsh rock band Stereophonics chose this song to perform, with vocalist Kelly Jones singing the chorus hook and guitarist Adam Zidani handling the rest of the vocals. Pretty good version it is too!

    You and Me Lyrics


    You and Me were always with each other
    Before we knew the others was ever there
    You and me we belong together
    Just like a breath needs the air
    I told you if you called I would come runnin'
    Across the highs the lows and the in between
    You and me we've got two minds that think as one
    And our hearts march to the same beat
    They say everything it happens for a reason
    You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person
    Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart
    Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark,
    Oh that's you and me

    You and me we're searching' for the same light
    Desperate for a cure to this disease
    Well some days are better than others,
    But I fear no thing as long as you're with me
    They say everything' it happens for a reason
    You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person
    Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart
    Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark

    And they say, everything it happens for a reason
    You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person
    Someone who will be there for you when you start to fall apart,
    Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark

    Oh that's you and me
    That's you and me

  • You+Me is a country and folk-flavored duo. The act comprises Alecia Moore, better known as Pink and Dallas Green, who after fronting the Canadian hardcore band Alexisonfire, has released a series solo albums under the City and Colour moniker. The pair met through Pink's husband Carey Hart and instantly felt a connection. "He has the most angelic voice I've ever heard in my life," Pink said of Green. "And I thought, 'Huh, maybe one day if I get good enough he'd sing with me."

    City and Colour opened for Pink on several dates of her Truth About Love tour. Once they got into the studio together, the pair recorded an entire album in about a week. This eponymous love ode was released as their debut single.

    Someone To Call My Lover Lyrics




    Someone To Call My Lover Song Chart
  • This uses the guitar riff from the 1972 America song "Ventura Highway." Jackson wrote it with her producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Lifting a soft-rock hit from the '70s doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for a Dance-Pop act like Jackson, but Jimmy Jam told us that Janet loves many kinds of music and was always willing to try different ideas. Describing the construction of this song, he said, "For 'Someone to Call My Lover,' she hadn't heard the 'Ventura Highway' sample before. She hadn't heard those songs. So it's kind of fun to come up with stuff like that and play it for her. And she hasn't heard of it, but she still really likes it. So you have something that's going to appeal to people that haven't heard it before, it's going to catch them, but it's also going to catch the people who are nostalgic about it." (Check out our full interview with Jimmy Jam .)
  • This song was used in the animated series Neighbors From Hell on the episode "Country Club Hell" in 2010.
  • Jackson really was looking for someone to call her lover: she had just ended her ten-year marriage to Rene Elizondo Jr. while recording this album.
  • The loop played throughout the chorus was borrowed from the Classical piece "Gymnopédie No. 1" by French composer Erik Satie. Jackson first heard it on a TV commercial when she was a child and never forgot it.
  • Jackson first worked with So So Def producer Jermaine Dupri, who would become her longtime boyfriend, on a remix of this song. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2002, but lost to Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like A Bird."

    Canyon Moon Song Chart
    The sun ran out on a cold October
    Somewhere under the canyon moon
    Camera jammed in a slow exposure
    California in her rear view

    She couldn't handle another season
    Another ocean of fiction blue
    Said a prayer to a dashboard Jesus
    Death Valley and worn out shoes

    Then the road turned into desert everywhere
    The sun ran out on a cold October
    She disappeared, she disappeared

    Take all your troubles, put them to bed
    Burn down the mission, the maps in your head
    Shot like a bullet, don't know the way
    The ricochet, kind of got away from you

    The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
    Marching band in a high school dream
    Little town and a faded beauty
    They still remember when she was queen

    Then the road turned into desert everywhere
    The leaves are falling, the church bells ringing
    She disappeared, she disappeared

    Change The World Lyrics


    If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you
    Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
    That this love I have inside, is everything it seems
    But for now I find, it's only in my dreams

    [Chorus:]
    That I can Change The World
    I would be the sunlight in your universe
    You will think my love was really something good
    Baby, if I could, change the world

    If I could be king, even for a day
    I'd take you as my queen, I'd have it no other way
    And our love will rule, in this kingdom we have made
    Till then I'd be a fool, wishin' for the day

    [Chorus]

    Baby, if I could change the world

    Change The World Song Chart
  • This was written by the songwriting team of Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy and Wayne Kirkpatrick. The song was originally recorded by Wynonna Judd early in 1996, and then it became a big hit when Eric Clapton heard the song and recorded it as a duet with the R&B singer Babyface later that year.
  • Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin uses this as an example of a song that can succeed without a great title or lyric. He told Musician magazine: "What sold that song, I believe, is production. And it had a good melody. But don't listen to the lyric. Because the lyric is appalling. It's a bad lyric. There are some rhymes in there that are really awful. But that's not what sold the song."
  • This was featured in the John Travolta movie Phenomenon.
  • Clapton and Babyface performed this at the Grammys in 1997, where the song won the award for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
  • The Clapton/Babyface combination brought together a rock legend and an R&B kingpin, and the combination gave the song huge crossover appeal. The duo got together again when Babyface played on Clapton's album Pilgrim in 1998.
  • Gordon Kennedy told the story of this song in an interview with American Songwriter magazine: "'Change The World' was a song written over the course of a year by Tommy Sims, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and myself. On a recording session in Quad Studios in Nashville, in the early '90s, Wayne and I were recording some demos in an attempt to do the 'artist' thing. We recorded four songs that day, three of which wound up on Garth (Brooks)'s Chris Gaines CD (this would happen several years later).
    During that session, Tommy was there playing bass and played us the nugget of an idea he had, wondering if it might be something that would work for the sound we were doing. He had the title and a chord progression and melody direction going. Wayne would ask him some months later for a tape of the idea so he could work on it. He wrote the lyrics to the chorus and all but one line of the second verse. Then, it went dormant again for a time before I asked Wayne about its progress. He gave me what he'd done on it. I finished writing the music, went to Columbus, Ohio and laid down a demo track with Tommy. He was there working on a church choir album. On the way home, I listened to a tape of the track and dictated lyrics into another little handheld recorder (I still have the micro-cassette!) I wrote the lyrics to the first verse and the missing line in the second verse. When I got home, I went into the studio and did a guitar and all of the vocals for a finished demo, the one Clapton heard later… None of the three of us were together when we wrote what we each wrote on the song."
  • The song was a massive AOR hit but Clapton was happy to take a walk in the commercial market as the guitarist made sure that he still kept one foot tapping on his blues roots. Clapton explained to Mojo magazine May 2013: "When I heard Tommy Sims' demo. I could hear McCartney doing that, so I needed to, with greatest respect to Paul, take that and put it somewhere black. So I asked Babyface who, even though he may not be aware of it, gave it the blues thing. The first two lines I play on that song on the acoustic guitar are lines I quote wherever I can and they come from the beginning of 'Mannish Boy' by Muddy Waters. On every record I make where I think. This has got a chance of doing well, I make sure I pay my dues on this. So I think I've found a way to do it, but it has to have one foot in the blues, even if its subtly disguised."

    American Middle Class Song Chart
  • Angaleena's former Kentucky coal miner father, Jimmy Presley, opens the title song of her debut solo album with a personal narrative. Many of the tracks on American Middle Class revolve around the struggles of people working to make ends meet. "You keep doing it. You be proud of it," she told Country Weekly. "I feel like it's a necessary evil. You recognize yourself as one of the heroes of the country."
  • The song features one of Presley's biggest musical heroes, Patty Loveless, whom she met through her fellow Pistol Annies member Miranda Lambert. "They had toured together in Switzerland. She had came out to a Pistol Annies show in Atlanta, and we clicked instantly - like we were kindred spirits," Presley explained to Billboard magazine. "I was at her house one weekend, cooking and singing, and I played her the rough of the record. She gravitated toward 'American Middle Class.' She said it was kind of a modern-day 'Coal Miner's Daughter.' I asked her to sing on it, and she did."
  • Presley explained the song's meaning to Billboard: "It's my story of how I grew up - right at poverty's door," she said. "We were going to fake it till we make it. My mom would cut the little Keds signs and hot-glue them to dollar store shoes so her daughter had Keds and she could hold her head up and be proud until you have something to be proud of. It works."

    "I'm so proud my parents had that work ethic," Presley continued. "They pushed me. They made me go to college, and then I got my degree and said, 'Here, Mom. I'm going to Nashville.' But I have all these stories to write about, and I definitely wouldn't have as many to write about if they hadn't forced me to grow up before I came here.''

    I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
    Just about to lose my mind
    I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
    Where the people all live so fine

    My baby said I was crazy
    My Momma called me lazy
    I was goin' to show 'em all this time
    'Cause you know I ain't no fool
    An' I don't need no more schoolin'
    I was born to just walk the line

    Livin' on Tulsa Time, livin' on Tulsa time
    Well, you know I've been through it
    When I set my watch back to it
    Livin' on Tulsa time

    Well, there I was in Hollywood
    Wishin' I was doin' good
    Talkin' on the telephone line
    But they don't need me in the movies
    And nobody sings my songs
    Guess I'm just wastin' time

    Well, then I got to thinkin'
    Man, I'm really sinkin'
    And I really had a flash this time
    I had no business leavin'
    And nobody would be grievin'
    If I went on back to Tulsa time

    Tulsa Time Song Chart
  • This song was originally recorded by the Texas songwriter Don Williams; it was written by his guitarist Danny Flowers. The song is about a guy who leaves Oklahoma for the bright lights of Hollywood, but discovers that he is much happier back home where he can set his watch to "Tulsa Time," where things happen at a much slower pace.
  • The original version of this song was released earlier in 1978 on Don Williams' album Expressions. Clapton was into American roots music and had recorded Williams' song "We're All the Way" on his 1977 album Slowhand. When it came time to record Backless, he included this song and released it as a single, backed with "Cocaine," a song written by the Tulsa musician J.J. Cale.
  • The original 1978 single didn't chart, but a live version taken from a show at the Budokhan Temple in Japan was issued in 1980 and made #30 US.
  • When he recorded this, four members of Clapton's band were from Oklahoma: bassist Carl Radle, drummer Jamie Oldaker, organist Dick Simms and backup singer Marcy Levy. Radle, Oldaker and Simms were all from Tulsa and had a band together called the Tulsa County Band, which helped forge the "Tulsa Sound," a melding of country and rock. Clapton was smitten with this sound, and used these musicians to create it on his Slowhand and Backless albums. On his next album, Just One Night, Clapton switched to British musicians.
  • For a while, Clapton opened his shows with this song, including the Budokhan show the single was taken from.

    The Core Lyrics


    Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
    Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
    There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
    There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.

    [Chorus]
    Oh, I have a flame; feel it touch my heart.
    And down at my core is the hottest part.
    I can burn without fuel.

    If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
    Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my side.
    No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
    Cause every day, your fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.

    [Chorus]

    It is burning.
    It is burning.

    You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
    I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
    Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind:
    You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."

    Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
    And down at The Core is the hottest part.
    We can burn without fuel.

    It is burning.
    It is burning.

    The Core Song Chart
  • Clapton wrote this based on a repeating guitar riff he came up with.
  • The original title was "The Riff," followed by "Burning Hot Core," and finally "The Core."
  • Marcy Levy, one of Clapton's backup singers, helped him write this. She also helped him with "Lay Down Sally." In 1988, using the name Marcella Detroit, she joined former Bananarama singer Siobhan Fahey to form Shakespear's Sister.
  • A rare Clapton song with horns. Mel Collins, who has also recorded with King Crimson and The Rolling Stones, played the sax. It was the first time Clapton used horns since his first solo album.
