Black Chick, White Guy Lyrics

Black chick white guy, does it mean shit, maybe?
I don't know but yo, it never fazed me
But either way here's one tale
Of two like that and what prevailed
It started way back in the eighth grade
In the small old town where the two both stayed
He came from a family of middle class
Where everything he did he always had to ask
She came from a place that was so alone
You know the same old tale of a broken home
Her momma was an alkie and more like a friend
Had three different kids from three different men
And that's just the way shit was
Couldn't change it, couldn't rearrange it, so there it was
Anyway the two kept on
With the phone calls notes and so on and so on
And after the bullshit and whattn'
That day came the two started fuckin'
All the time, you know kids' habits
Every single day fuckin' like rabbits
Sneakin' out the car when he was fifteen
Climbin' in the window and fuckin' all night, see
Fuckin' during lunch in the junior high bathrooms
Drinking champagne and trippin' on mushrooms
His dick was metal her pussy was a magnet
Ninth grade came, I'm pregnant
Shit got frantic and man, oh, Lord
It was a tuff decision, but they decided to abort it
It might have been right it might have been wrong
But one thing's for sure it really fucked his head up
Where is it, who is it, how is it, was it right?
These are the things he thought in bed at night
A lot of people might laugh at this
But fuck, 'em they don't know the half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low, I'm low
People tell me life's a game I'm not playin'
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin'

Now as time went on the the two kept on
They kept seeing each other off and on
See she moved to the city and you know what happened
Black chick with a real white accent
Pretty girl in the ghetto, go figure
Yeah, she got macked by some dope-dealin' nigga
Still seein' that other kid on the side
She kept most of her thoughts inside
See all the first guy did was just love her
While that punk mother fucker used to beat her and punch her
She was livin' all wild
I think all she ever wanted was the love of her own child
She asked the first guy to have his baby
He looked at her like she must be crazy
He was makin' records and goin' on tour
Twenty thousand people hip hoppin on the floor
And all that while she sat at home and got macked
If she stepped out of line, she got slapped
And then one day she prayed to the Lord to take that guy away
And he did he got caught with a loaded gun
And went to jail but first she had his son
Oooh, and now what to do?
She had no man, no money and no clue
Now the other guy came back from tourin'
And she called him up early one mornin'
They hooked up her mind was blown
As he began to raise her son as his own
And that's a lot of shit to deal with, man
And if you ain't been there you wouldn't understand
And people still laugh at this shit
Fuck 'em, they don't know the half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low, I'm low
People tell me life's a game I'm not playin'
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin'

Now for the next year there was some good times
A few bad times mostly good times
See, he was a ramblin' man to the bone
He liked women and wine and he loved to roam
Not like she was any kind of saint
See in this story there's a lot of red paint
But time kept slippin' and made her crazy
And she talked about havin' another baby
The guy was like, "oh Lord"
We got one now that we can't afford
But she convinced she could handle even two
Said "I want your child or I'm leavin you"
I can't figure out why then he didn't run
I guess he was attached to her and her son
All confused about what to do
That girl met another guy and was fuckin' him too, slut
Could barely pay her rent
And then the same old shit, I'm pregrant
And if that ain't some shit 'cause
The girl didn't even know who the father was
And still by her side the first guy stayed
Head gettin' more fucked by the day
He stuck it out for nine months I don't know why
And then a little girl on the Fourth of July
Was born in the front seat of his car
It was amazing, kinda like a shooting star
He was happy, told his family and friends
Only to realize later his little girl wasn't his
And that crushed him quick
Suicidal thoughts were in his head real thick
But before he found all that out
From the same chick, another kid popped out
And that shit's real ill
Girl told him that she was takin' the fuckin' pill
She must have known all along
The little girl wasn't his and she was tryin' to latch on
Three different kids from three different men
History repeats itself again
And after some more shit got stirred
He kicked that bitch to the curb
And now from her he's got a little boy that makes him laugh a bit, huh
Huh, and he loves him
But still you don't know the fuckin' half of it

Ain't no sunshine when you're low, I'm low
People tell me life's a game I'm not playin'
Bitches don't mean shit to me anymore
I have taken my blows, I'm still standin'
I'm still standin'
I'm still standin'
I am still standin'

Black Chick, White Guy Song Chart

This is the story of a white guy from a middle class background who loses his virginity to a black girl from a troubled background in the junior high bathroom.

The white guy plays father to a son she has with another man, and also fathers two of her other children. He soon discovers that one of the children he thought was his, really wasn't, so he takes his son and leaves.

Kid Rock says this story is ninety-nine percent true. He is the white guy and the black chick is the mother of his only son.

The woman this song is about sued Rock for defamation and invasion of privacy. She claimed the story is not true and also brought suit against Rolling Stone magazine for printing it.

I Don't Care Song Chart

This sweary single finds Cheryl singing: "I don't care, and it feels so f--king good to say, I swear that I don't care." She told Capital FM: "It sums up pretty much how I feel right now. [It's] very pop, but fun pop!"

Cheryl co-wrote the song with Katy Perry's frequent songwriting partner Bonnie McKee, along with Joakim Ahlund, who collaborated with Chrissie Hynde on her 2014 debut solo album Stockholm and "Love Me Again" singer John Newman.

Cheryl said about the feisty lyrics: "I'm a woman now; I'm at that age that things don't bother me like they used to. I still care about things, but I've discovered what's important to care about, and what's most definitely not."

The music video, directed by Colin Tilley, finds Cheryl lounging on the beaches of Spain. Tilley formerly collaborated with the singer on the video for the album's lead single "Crazy Stupid Love," which was shot at The Underground Club in London.

Cheryl became the first British female solo artist to have five #1 singles in the UK when this entered the Official Charts at the summit. The singer overtook Geri Halliwell and Rita Ora who both had clocked up four chart-toppers.

Bonnie McKee was less than impressed how the track turned out. "That was my tenth #1, so I'm grateful for it but I didn't want to give it up," she told The Idolator . "It was a song I had written for myself. They tweaked a couple lyrics and changed the title."

"The original title was 'Waking Up Diagonal.' It's the first line of the song," McKee continued. "I just thought it was more interesting than 'I Don't Care,' which is such a boring title to me. When I hear that song it breaks my heart a little bit because it's my story."

Just Can't Get Enough Lyrics

When I'm with you baby
I go out of my head
And I Just Can't Get Enough
And I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me
And everything you said
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

It's getting hotter
It's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

[Repeat: x2]
I just can't seem to get enough

And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

You're like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

[Repeats]
I just can't get enough

Just Can't Get Enough Song Chart

Depeche Mode founding member and keyboardist Vince Clarke wrote this song. It was inspired by "To Cut a Long Story Short" by Spandau Ballet.

Early Depeche Mode, under the direction of Clarke, had a more upbeat sound. In our interview with Vince Clarke, he explained: "Martin Gore writes in a different way than I do, so that's obviously the main difference. And they've developed this kind of a rock feel to their music. I'm more a fan of pop music, or I'm more of a fan of writing pop music, that's the most difference, I guess."

Clarke had just turned 20 when he wrote this song, which turned out to be the last one he wrote for Depeche Mode. He left the band after the Speak and Spell album was released, later joining Yaz and Erasure. The "Just Can't Get Enough" video is the only one he appears in. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

In an interview with Q magazine February 2008, vocalist Dave Gahan recalled recording Depeche Mode's debut album Speak and Spell and their early days as a band: "Vince (Clarke) was the leader at that point. By the time we got into the studio, Vince had got bored with it. He didn't like the idea of having to deal with other personalities. He wanted to be in control. That's the only album where the songs had already been performed for a year and a half beforehand, and we went into the studio and recorded them as we would live. I think Daniel (Miller, their record label boss) saw us as a cross between the Ramones and the Beach Boys, in an electronic way - fast and short with really simple riffs. We were courted by major labels and were very suspicious of signing a deal that meant 5 albums. We'd come from that Punk ethic: we just wanted to make a single. Daniel came along and that's all he really had the money to do, so it kind of worked. We wanted to keep in control. We never thought much beyond the next single and playing some gigs. That time was brilliant."

Not everyone appreciated the Speak and Spell album. Rolling Stone magazine called it "PG-rated fluff."

This was used in popular ads for The Gap, which featured young people lip-synching to this in front of a white background. They were selling a line of leather.

Vince Clarke has been known to sing this with an acoustic guitar at Erasure concert dates. Clarke formed Erasure with Andy Bell a few years after leaving Depeche Mode. (thanks, Kelly - Portland, OR)

This became the first Depeche Mode song used in a movie when it was featured in the 1982 film Summer Lovers. It was also used in The Wedding Singer in 1998.

This was Depeche Mode's first top 10 single in the UK, and it became a club favorite in the US.

Girl group The Saturdays covered this song in 2009 for the Comic Relief charity.

Live It Up Lyrics

Live It Up up I
Live it up up I
Live it up up I

A thousand people stood in line
To hear a couple words of mine
Afraid I would miss a beat
And everyone is watching me
I don't know why I'm still afraid
It's not like it was yesterday
I'm the one stopping me
From all the I want to be

It's ridiculous
The stars are inconspicuous
I told myself this can't be how I think
It's irrational
It seems so supernatural
I'm happy every after all I've seen

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
I live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back hand and smash em all
I live it up, live it up, up I
I live it up, live it up, up I

Live it up, up I
Live it up, up I

Don't know why my stomach drops
Like jumping off a mountain top
I used to be fearless when, I had my safety net
Wake up my heart is beating fast
'Cause I ain't got no strings attached
Free to go anywhere, everywhere
It's just that I don't know where

It's ridiculous
There thoughts are inconspicuous
I told myself this can't be how I think
It's irrational
It seems so supernatural
I'm happy every after all I've seen

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back up, smashing ball
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I

Live it up, up I
Live it up, up I

No I'm not afraid
No I'm not afraid
Live it up, up I (No I'm not afraid)
No, yeah, yeah

I'm unstoppable
I drop kick impossible
I live it up, live it up, up I
Live it up, live it up, up I
I break down the walls
I back hand and smash em all
I live it up, live it up, up I

Live It Up Song Chart

Colbie Caillat wrote this song about her struggles to overcome stage fright, a fear that plagues her even after years of professionally performing.

A thousand people stood in line
To hear a couple words of mine
Afraid I would miss a beat
And everyone's watching me

"Yeah, it's still a struggle," she told ABC News Radio. "Like, every time I do it, it gets a little easier and a little better and I watch back, I'm like, 'Oh, OK, it wasn't as bad as I thought in my mind.' But no, it's still there. I think it'll be there forever, and that's just something I'm learning to accept."

The topic of stage fright is something that Caillat previously visited on her 2007 Coco track "One Fine Wire." Also the title of her sophomore album Breakthrough, was inspired by the need to overcome her fears and learn to love touring.

Caillat generally uses fairly sparse instrumentation on her tunes, so this song is a big departure as it is filled with countless instruments and sounds. She told Billboard magazine: "We wanted it to sound really huge and loud and strong, then having the lyrics be more vulnerable. I wrote ['Live It Up'] about my stage fright and how I've struggled with that my entire life. To me, it was a really fun balance having a song that sounds so different but lyrics that are just honestly what I'm going through."

Boogie Chillen Lyrics

Well, my mama, she didn't 'low me just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well, my mama didn't 'low me just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low--I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town, people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillen'

One night I was layin' down
I heard mama and papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogiein' just the same

Boogie Chillen Song Chart

John Lee Hooker grew up on a plantation in Mississippi and eventually made his way to Detroit, bypassing the blues hotbed of Chicago.

In 1948, Hooker showed up at the office of a Detroit record store/label owner named Bernard Besman, and presented him with a demo. Besman provided the studio and produced this song for Hooker. They worked together for the next four years, recording many of Hooker's songs, but "Boogie Chillen" was the big hit. The song went to the top of what was then known as the "race" charts, and sold over a million copies after Besman leased the rights to distribute the song to Modern Records. When the song took off, Hooker still had his day job working as a janitor in a Chrysler factory.

Hooker is the only person performing on the song. The only sounds are his voice, guitar, and stomping feet. The tapping sounds came from bottle caps attached to the soles of his shoes.

"Chillen" is Southern slang for "Children." The song is known by a variety of titles, including "Boogie Chillun" and "Boogie Children."

When Hooker sings about going to Henry's Swing Club on Hastings Street, he's referring to a real club in the Black Bottom section of Detroit. The area, which is where the Black Bottom dance got its name, was home to various Blues clubs, speakeasies, pool halls and other places of ill repute. Before Hooker arrived, musicians like Maceo Merriweather and Beulah Wallace performed there along with many traveling musicians. Hastings Street was wiped out in 1957 when the highway I-75 was built through it.

Hooker recorded two more versions of this song, including a remake in 1970 with the band Canned Heat. It was included on an album called Hooker 'n' Heat

ZZ Top reworked this into their 1973 hit "La Grange." In 1992, Bernard Besman, who was Hooker's producer and controlled the copyright to "Boogie Chillen," sued ZZ Top, but a court eventually ruled that Hooker's song was in the public domain.

Hooker died in 2001 at age 83.

In the book Hound Dog: The Leiber & Stoller Autobiography , Jerry Leiber tells of hearing this song for the first time. He was working at a record store called Norty's circa 1950 while still in high school. Lester Sill, a sales manager for Modern Records, came into the store and started playing demos for Leiber, mistaking him for the store owner. Leiber loved the music because it reminded him of Hunter Hancock's radio show. He says of the song, "Suddenly the epiphany re-exploded, expanded, and knocked me on my ass." This experience re-affirmed his ambition to someday write songs. In the ensuing years, Lester Sill became Leiber and Stoller's mentor as they entered the music business.

This was the first song Buddy Guy learned how to play on guitar. Growing up in Lettsworth, Louisiana in a small house with no electricity or running water, Guy heard this song when a family friend, Henry "Coot" Smith, would come over and play it on his guitar. Guy would play what he could of the song on homemade instruments, and when he turned 13, his dad bought Coot's guitar for Buddy, and he was soon playing "Boogie Chillen" on the instrument.

Critical Mass Lyrics

The bio-sphere, the place we live
It seems like we don't give a damn
Other species flushed down the tubes
We need another race to rape
The way we live we will destroy
Every other living thing
'Til none are left except our race
And then we will destroy ourselves

Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies
Bring on the acid rain

Slightly insane, the type of greed
That makes a world unfir for life
Toxic wastes destroy the seas
While poison gas pollutes the air
A waste of life, while no one cares
The earth becomes a giant tomb
Critical Mass will be achieved
And ruins will be all that's left

Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies

A Hell on Earth, what we create
Dragging life to death with us
All living things destroyed or used
By shortsighted human beeings
We do these things, let them be done
Apathy creates despair
The damage done will be too great
The world wounded beyond repair

Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies

Critical Mass Song Chart

This rocker was written by Nuclear Assault frontman John Connelly and bass player Dan Lilker. The song is a warning about impeding environmental disaster if we don't start taking care of the Earth. This was a prescient statement in 1989, as decades later scientists made a clarion call for action, explaining that global warming was devastating the planet.

The "critical mass" Connelly sings about is the point of no return where there is nothing we can do about the Earth's destruction. Scientists would later explain that there could indeed reach a point where damage to the Earth is irreversible.

In our interview with Dan Lilker , he explained: "It was just a real strong, heavy song. You have to balance your thrash songs with your heavy, straight-ahead, mid-paced songs."

Woke Up This Morning Lyrics

I'm gonna take you down
Deep down to the front lines

You Woke Up This Morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said, you're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All that love had gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (Shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine. (Shame about it)
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes
You woke up this morning
Got a blue moon in your eyes

When you woke up this morning everything was gone.
By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
Like a voice trying to tell you there's something you should know.
Last night you were flying but today you're so low
Ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
You'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to the others;
Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
Don't you wish you didn't function, don't you wish you
Didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink?
Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cause
When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
You want to be the Chosen One.

Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
Woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

Woke Up This Morning Song Chart

This became famous as the theme song for the HBO TV show The Sopranos, but it was around long before the show. The song first appeared on the group's 1997 debut album Exile on Coldharbour Lane, and remained an obscurity until David Chase, who created the HBO show The Sopranos, decided to use it as the theme song. Chase originally wanted to use a different song for each episode of the show, but HBO insisted on one song for the sake of branding and consistency. Chase says that the first time he heard "Woke Up This Morning," he knew it was the one (Chase says he bought the CD after hearing a different song by the group on the radio). A3 received $40,000 for the use of the song; It was an offer they couldn't refuse.

With the refrain "Woke up this morning, got myself a gun," the song does sound very gangster, but it's actually about a case in which a wife finally shot her abusive husband after twenty years. The song is about female empowerment, not the mob.

The woman in question is Sara Thornton, who killed her husband in 1989. The case made headlines in England, where Alabama 3 founder Rob Spragg heard about it and got the idea for the song. He wrote the song with his bandmates Jake Black, Simon Edwards and Piers Marsh.

Alabama 3 are neither a trio nor from Alabama. Formed by Rob Spragg and Jake Black, they are from south London, but have an affinity for American Country music, which they would combine with House music. Like Chumbawamba, they were a collective with rotating members, often performing songs with political leanings.

Spragg and Black started out playing raves around England under the name Larry Love and the Reverend D Wayne Love, speaking in American accents. Their first album in 1997 was adored by some music critics, but left no impression on the charts, as their fusion of Americana with Eurodance proved a little too niche. That niche turned out to be perfect for The Sopranos, however, as it provided an appropriate song that was unheard to all but a tiny sliver of the show's viewers.

When the show became a huge hit, Alabama 3 brought their act to America, where they played a series of shows.

As detailed in the liner notes for the album, this song samples "Tell Me" by Howlin' Wolf, "Standing at the Burying Ground" by Mississippi Fred McDowell, and "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf, under his real name Chester Burnett, is a credited writer on the song along with four members of Alabama 3.

In the US, the band used the name A3 for legal reasons, as the Country band Alabama threatened a lawsuit (even "Bama 3" and "Alabaman 3" were denied). The name Alabama 3 derives from a 1930s case involving two black men were lynched after being accused of raping a white woman. The men were called the "Alabama 2" in the media.

At the 1999 Emmy awards, the house orchestra played a version of this every time a Sopranos actor or writer won an award. It was played many times that night.

To get the song on the radio and MTV, the word "gun" had to be removed. This posed a problem because the phrase "Woke up this morning, got yourself a gun" is repeated many times throughout.

There is a degree of irony in this song that made it apropos for The Sopranos, which is about a Mafia family and their emotional struggles. As Jake Black explained in The Times of London: "It's totally ironic that we, who disapprove of anything villains do, should be picked for the theme song of a show that shows the human side of villains. You see the guy knocking f--k out of someone... but he's got heart. All the while the guy's controlling thousands of people's lives, squeezing them. So that is ironic."

By the time this song became the theme for The Sopranos, Alabama 3 had been dropped from their American record label, Geffen. Sony Music, which issued the soundtrack to the show, re-released the song as a single in 2000, but it went nowhere, as the song got very little airplay (a battered-woman song by British guys with American accents somehow couldn't find a format) and the band was too obscure to generate sales.

In the UK, the band is better known for their song "Ain't Goin' To Goa," which hit #40 there in 1998.

The original US release on this song was a 12" single containing five different mixes of the song:
Chosen One Mix
Urban Takeover Mix
Drillaz In The Church Mix
Y'all Gotta Come
Dam Metal Jam Mix

The Chosen One Mix was edited for use on The Sopranos.

Unlike most TV shows, The Sopranos didn't use theme music composed for the show. Instead, they used real songs. This costs a lot, but is much more realistic and can make a big difference in a scene. The producers spent a lot of time picking out music for the show.

This song was used in The Simpsons episode "Papa's Got A Brand New Badge." (thanks, Campo - Sydney, Australia)

Never Gonna Let You Down Song Chart
Low
When you're feeling low
And you just don't know where to run to
Broke
If your heart's been broke
And you feel like you're all alone
If you need something to believe in
If you're looking for a light to guide you home
Just look inside
You're light a shining brighter than you know
You should know

I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that
When you need me
I promise I will never let you down

Laugh
I will make you laugh
If you ever feel like crying
Close
I will hold you close
You won't be alone anymore
If you need someone to believe in
If you're reaching for a hand to guide you home
Just take my hand and I won't let you go
I hope you know

I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that

I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that
When you need me
I promise I will never let you down

Ain't never gonna let you down

If you need something to believe in
If you feel you've reached the end of the road
Don't be afraid, I'll always guide you home
You should know

I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that

I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna build you up
And when you're feeling lost
I will always find you love
I'm never gonna walk away
I'm always gonna have your back
And if nothing else you can always count on that
When you need me
I promise I will never let you down
Ain't never going let you down
Ain't never going let you down

Cannonball Lyrics

Check check check
One two

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell crash
I'm the last splash

I know you little libertine
I know you're a real coocoo

Want you coocoo Cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball
In the shade, in the shade
In the shade, in the shade

I know you little libertine
I know you're a cannonball

I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song

In the shade, in the shade
Want you coocoo cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball

Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell
Crash
I'm the last splash

I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song

Want you coocoo cannonball
Want you coocoo cannonball
In the shade, in the shade
In the shade, in the shade

Cannonball Song Chart

The Breeders started as the side project of Kim Deal, who was with the Pixies at the time, but often at odds with their frontman, Frank Black. Written and sung by Deal, "Cannonball" made the US Hot 100 - something the Pixies never did.

Deal formed the band with Tonya Donelly of Throwing Muses (and later, Belly), and they released their first album, Pod, in 1990 (Kim played bass in the Pixies; she switched to guitar with The Breeders). The Safari EP followed in 1992, with Kim's sister Kelley Deal joining the band. Donelly left for Last Splash, with drummer Jim MacPherson coming on board to round out the band with Josephine Wiggs. When Kelley got caught in a drug bust in 1995, Kim morphed the band into the Amps, which released the album Pacer in 1995. The Breeders would return in 2002 with the album Title TK.

The song was originally titled "Grunggae," a combination of 'grunge' and 'reggae.' The name came from Kim Deal thinking the accented riff resembled the accent in Reggae.

The British music paper Melody Maker named this song their Single of the Year for 1993.

Mojo magazine May 2013 asked Kim Deal if she had a sense this song would be a hit. She replied: "Did we record a song that opened with me saying, 'Check 1-2,' and then loads of vocal feedback from my brother's harmonica mike, and think, 'This is destined for radio?' That was the sort of thing that didn't get you played on the radio then. We thought no one would play it."

The loud/soft dynamics in this song is something Kim Deal brought over from the Pixies. The titular cannonball could portend the aggressive part of the track. Most songs with the cannonball metaphor (Supertramp, Damien Rice) use it to indicate a person who is reckless in love. Deal's lyrics are designed to complement the melody; we wouldn't recommend reading too much into lyrics like "I'll be your whatever you want, the bong in this Reggae song."

The video was directed by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon.

The single was released as a 4-song EP, which also included a cover version of Aerosmith's "Lord of the Thighs."

Nissan used this in commercials for the 2000 Sentra. The song was also heard in trailers for the South Park movie.

Action Cat Song Chart

The first song to be heard from Gerard Way's debut solo album, Hesitant Alien, finds him singing from the point of view of someone who has just left a serious relationship. It describes the fears and feelings they experience in the wake of their breakup.

Speaking with Rock Sound magazine, Way said the Hesitant Alien album title is a reflection of how he looks at himself as a person. "It's not about [alienation] from the angle of being an outsider, but rather that I don't exactly fit in, and that's OK," he explained . "That's how I fit - by not fitting. I constantly evolve; I go up, I go down, I move from side-to-side; that's my role in music."

This was Kerrang!'s song of the year for 2014. They said: "Riding a fuzzed-out guitar and packed with delicious, sugar-coated vocal melodies, this was a pure power-pop rush to die for."

Way explained the song's meaning to Kerrang!: "Lyrically, it feels like it's about starting over," he said. "It feels like it's about rediscovering having fun again."

Trying Lyrics

Could you let down your hair
And be transparent for a while
Just a little while
See if your human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out
I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
And god I pretend like I do just
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art for today
I'd I quote all the line off the top of my head
And you'd be
I don't understand all of these things Ive read
I'm just trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't drawn it or figured out quite yet
But even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you
I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way
Oh, I'm trying to find my way
Trying to find my way

Lead singer Jason Wade wrote this about trying to cope with the divorce of his parents. After the divorce, Wade moved with his mother to Seattle. He is now a huge Nirvana fan.

Wade: "I wrote "Trying" when I was 15. It's about the same kind of spiritual searching as "Only One." After my parents got divorced, I wrote the lyrics to it, then learned how to play guitar and came up with the melody. The song's about finding your way in life. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, what I wanted to become, not just in music but also who I was as a person. I consider "Trying" my first song, the first one I didn't scrap. The funny thing is, I can relate to it more now than I could back then. Sometimes I think, "Man where did that come from?" I still feel the same emotion when I play it, so I guess it's pretty timeless; people can relate to it, no matter how old they are." (thanks, Patti - Mahopac, NY)

Wade is now disillusioned with the Christian church because of its reaction to some of his fathers "mistakes." Wade believes in mercy and love, his father was shunned.

Millions Song Chart

Gerard Way penned this song with James Dewees, who was MCR's touring keyboardist from 2007. He references in the second verse The Smiths song, William, It Was Really Nothing. The '80s British band has had a big influence on him.

Way initially previewed this song at the Graphic festival in Sydney, Australia on October 5, 2013. He said at the the time the song is about a group of jewel thieves, which isn't very apparent from the lyrical content. "Everything is fine," Way explained. "Then everything goes horribly wrong."

Gerard's brother and former My Chemical Romance bassist Mikey Way supplied backing vocals for this track.

The video was directed by Jennifer Juniper Stratford, who works on web series, public access shows and music videos for Telefantasy Studios, which specializes in analog effects that were popular in the 1970s and '80s. The retro look is designed to stand out among far more polished music videos.
