Come Softly To Me

Originally "Come Softly," the title of this song was changed because Dolphin (later Dolton) Records owner Bob Reisdorff feared that AM radio DJs would think it to be too suggestive. He was being extra-cautious, Dolphin Records was formed by the Seattle DJ for the sole purpose of distributing Fleetwoods records.

This song started when Fleetwoods members Gary Troxel and Gretchen Christopher were waiting for a lift home from high school by her mother. Troxel started humming "Dum dum, domby doo wha..." and Gretchen noticed that it was the same chord progression that she used in a song that she had just finished writing, "Come Softly." She asked him to slow his tempo, then sang her song atop Troxel's humming. They took it to Gretchen's singing partner Barbara Ellis, who liked it, and the trio formed Two Girls and a Guy.

Two Girls and a Guy performed this live twice - at a senior class assembly and at a post-football game dance. Classmates wanted copies of the song so they could learn it.

It took six months for the trio to record it. Ultimately, they sang it a capella, then instrumentation was overdubbed (a reversal of the usual production technique of overdubbing vocal atop an instrumental bed).

There are no drums in the recording -- the only percussion was that of Troxel shaking his car keys in his closed hands.

Originally Troxel's part didn't have any lyrics -- they were written in the studio.

Bob Reisdorff suggested that the trio change their name to a more "commercial" one. Since all three of the teenagers had the same telephone exchange -- FLeetwood -- they accepted Reisdorff's idea of calling themselves the Fleetwoods. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

The song reached #69 on the UK singles chart after being released in a new set of mixes in January 1995.

The featured vocalist is Detroit singer Alana Simon. MK and Alana scored further hits with the singles "Burning" and "Love Changes."

There was renewed interest in Kinchen's house tunes following his remix of Storm Queen's "Look Right Through" which peaked at #1 in the UK in 2013. Arising from this, Route 94 produced a new remix of this song the following year, which reached the UK Top 20.

Blueberry Hill Lyrics

I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

Blueberry Hill

This was written by Vincent Rose, Al Lewis and Larry Stock for the 1940 Western The Singing Hill before they decided it was good enough to be released commercially. The song was used in the movie, where it was heard for the first time performed by Gene Autry.

Larry Stock, who wrote the lyrics, recalls that "One important publisher turned down Blueberry Hill, because, he claimed, blueberries don't grow on hills. I assured him I had picked them on hills as a boy, but nothing doing. So Chappell And Company bought the song and another hit was born." (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)

Fats recorded this in LA, at a session in which he ran out of material to tape. Domino insisted on recording the song over the vehement objections of producer-arranger Dave Bartholomew, and then forgot the lyrics while he was recording the song. The engineer pieced together the final version from many fragmentary takes.

In 1940, this was a #2 hit for Glenn Miller. In 1956, Louis Armstrong took it to #29 with the assistance of Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra (with a recording that was originally released in 1949). It has also been covered by Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, Andy Williams, Kiki, Cliff Richard, Bruce Cockburn, and others.

Domino's real name is Antoine Domino. This is his biggest hit and best seller.

In the TV series Happy Days , Ritchie Cunningham (played by Ron Howard), sings this whenever he has found a date. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 4)

Ray Manzarek of The Doors admitted on his BBC Radio 2 program that the baseline to "Light My Fire" was based on this song.

Domino Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin performed this song on December 10, 2010 at a charity event in front of an audience of international film and television celebrities. Videos of his performance quickly went viral worldwide. Putin's spokesman said the former KGB chief learned the lyrics to the song as part of his English language studies.

All Who Remain Lyrics

Tell the one above he’s a criminal
For taking and giving life like marble candy
Everything collapses around me
Overwhelms and astounds me
A Terrible Truth

When you leave this life, the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
The light you gave the human race will go away…

I see you every time that I close my eyes
I Hum every lullaby that you used to sing
You never know the last time you’ll see someone
So give them all of your love
Cause they’ll disappear

When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
And the light you gave the human race will go away...

If I can’t have you in this life
Then I don’t want this life at all
Cause there’s nothing in this broken world
That I’ll ever ever love as much

I called and I called you never picked up
I cried and I cried but you never woke up
You died and died without asking me first
You left me all alone here on Earth

When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain

All Who Remain

Beware of Darkness is the Los Angeles-based trio of lead singer Kyle Nicolaides, bass player Daniel Curcio and drummer Tony Cupito. Nicolaides wrote this song's lyric, which he told us is about "losing your favorite person on the planet." When we pressed him for details, he declined: "That's all I can say about it."

Nicolaides was clearly going through a rough patch and working out his emotion in the song, where he sings: "If I can't have you in this life then I don't want this life at all."

Nicolaides wrote this song with John 5, a guitarist who has played in Marilyn Manson's band and with Rob Zombie.

Kyle Nicolaides keeps journals, which is where a lot of his song ideas come from. A key line in this song, "When you leave this life, the world will be a darker place," is something he wrote down in a journal months before he wrote this track. He discovered it when he went back to look at the journal, and decided to incorporate it into this song.

A Thousand Miles Away

The Heartbeats started out as The Hearts but changed their name in 1955. The members were Robbie Tatum, Wally Roker, Vernon Sievers, Albert Crump and James Sheppard. They signed with Hull Records and recorded this (co-written by Sheppard) in 1956. After Hull sold the master to Rama Records, this reached #5 on the R&B charts. (thanks, Frank Pellicone - Yardley, PA)

Shortly after this hit, Sheppard left the Heartbeats to form his own group, Shep and the Limelites, who eventually recorded an answer record. Five years later (in 1961) Shep and the Limelites hit #2 on the Hot 100 with "Daddy's Home." (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

Heart Attack (Bang Bang Shake) Lyrics

Heart Attack (Bang Bang Shake)

In the Punk tradition, this song launches right into the caustic opening line: "Come on, like anybody cares your mother died."

In our interview with lead singer Kyle Nicolaides , he explained that the song is intended to get people to look at their lives in a different way, which can put personal struggles in perspective. "it's basically a really, really abrupt way to say, Does a person in China really care what you're going through right now?," he explained.

This is a track from the first Beware of Darkness album, Orthodox. The album title plays into the existential theme of this song - how there is something bigger than you out there. The original idea was to call the album Bleak and make it a concept set about depression. The band decided that Orthodox was a more meaningful title, and they wanted the songs to be more varied in their content.

"The first half of the word means 'right/true,'" Nicolaides told us. "And the second half means 'belief,' doxy. So it means 'right beliefs,' basically. That really hit home with the material of the record."

Bo Diddley bought his babe a diamond ring,
If that diamond ring don't shine,
He gonna take it to a private eye,
If that private eye can't see
He'd better not take the ring from me

Bo diddley caught a nanny goat,
To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat,
Bo diddley caught a bear cat,
To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat

Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone,
Take my baby away from home,
Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin,
Up your house, and gone again

Bo diddley, bo diddley have you heard?
My pretty baby said she wasn't for it

Bo Diddley

The lyrics were based on the American folk song "Mockingbird." It has virtually the same lyrics as the "Mockingbird" adaptation by Charlie and Inez Foxx in 1963, which was later recorded by James Taylor and Carly Simon.

Bo Diddley was born Ellas Bates. He had his name changed to Ellas McDaniels when he was adopted. He took his stage name from a one-stringed Deep South instrument, the Diddley Bow.

Originally titled "Uncle John," the song was rejected by the owners of Chess Records because the original lyrics were "too dirty" for the white American record-buying public. In response, Diddley re-wrote the lyrics and named the song after himself. From this point forward, Diddley often put his name in his songs.

Diddley was trained on the violin as a child, but switched to guitar (to emulate John Lee Hooker) when his sister gave him one for a Christmas present.

Diddley took his longtime partner Jerome Green to play the maracas on the recording. Green's efforts were fed through an echo chamber to get the desired effect.

The Bo Diddley riff was incorporated into many rock'n'roll songs. Examples include "Not Fade Away" (Buddy Holly), "Willie and the Hand Jive" (Johnny Otis Show), "Cannonball" (Duane Eddy), "Hey Little Girl" (Dee Clark), "I Want Candy" (Strangeloves), "Bad Blood" (Neil Sedaka), and "Faith" (George Michael).

Although the riff used in this is ascribed to Bo Diddley (the "Bo Diddley Beat), it didn't originate with him. It goes back to West Africa -- American slaves patted the rhythms on their bodies as they were denied access to their traditional drums (many pre-Civil War slaveholders were afraid of them being used for communication). "Hambone" became part of the African-American musical tradition. Chicago youngster Sammy McGrier did a hambone on a radio talent show in the early '50s; bandleader Red Saunders recorded McGrier, Dee Clark, and Ronny Strong as the Hambone Kids and called the song "Hambone." "Hambone" became a novelty hit despite covers by Tennessee Ernie Ford and the duo of Frankie Laine and Jo Stafford. It was the only chart record for Red Saunders.

Contrary to popular belief, this did not make the Billboard Top Singles chart, but it did hit #1 on the Rhythm and Blues chart.

Diddley's sole Top 40 his was recorded four years later - "Say Man" - a tape of Diddley and Green swapping insults in a bar. Instruments were added in the studio, and a #20 hit was born. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

Bo Diddley performed this on his Ed Sullivan Show appearance November 20, 1955. Sullivan wanted Diddley to sing "Sixteen Tons," but Diddley played this song anyway, which didn't go over well with the host. Diddley was never asked back.

Wings of Feather and Wax Lyrics

Cut from wire, blind of light, from another breed
Realize wrong from right, turning raw inside of me
Having visions in the sight, like cutting razor wire
We live on through the night, night of eternal fire

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Wings above, danger's near, they're coming down
Flying close to the sun, you will only hit the ground
The silence is so deafening, the end is just the beginning
Inside the void, I hear you scream

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Arise, arise, not so close to the sky
Alive, alive, when you face death, you feel alive
Kill it, kill it, channel your animal side
Fire, fire, it's time to start a riot

Unleash your wings
Unleash your soul
Unleash yourself
From the sun

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

I never stopped to notice the fire in your hand
A burning so consuming, but now I understand
And now I'm falling, like Icarus to land
Too late to kill the flame that I fanned

Wings of Feather and Wax

A band formed by vocalist Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan), guitarist Max Cavalera (Soulfly), bassist Troy Sanders (Mastodon), and drummer Dave Elitch (The Mars Volta), Killer Be Killed released its debut album in 2014, with the songs composed by Puciato, Cavalera and Sanders.

The song is a reference to Icarus, a figure in Greek mythology whose father Daedalus crafted him wings made of feathers and wax. Icarus flew too close to the sun, which melted his wings and led to his doom.

The tale is an allegory of unchecked ambition - believing you are capable of more than you are. In this song, the Puciato relates the myth to one-sided relationships. "I've gone out of my way certain times in my life to the point of self-destructive co-dependency where I was trying to fix something or someone, or change something or someone, and I was hurting myself in the process," he told us. "I took that to its absolute limit in a couple of personal relationships in my life around the time of the last year or two. "Feather Wax" references that. It's an inability to fix people's problems that aren't yours." (Here's our full Greg Puciato interview .)

Semi-Charmed Life Lyrics

I'm packed and I'm holding
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden
And she lives for me
She says she lives for me
Ovation
She's got her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me
And I make her smile
It's like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth
Will lift you up until you break
It won't stop
I won't come down, I keep stock
With a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
How do I get back there to
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life, baby, baby
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
When the plane came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips
In the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the mattress
One
Now you hold me
And we're broken
Still its all that I want to do just a little I
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say
Good-bye

Semi-Charmed Life

In our interview with Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins , he said this song is "about falling apart." It relates specifically to a drug-induced high that makes everything fleetingly better. Said Jenkins: "Perfection is the moment right before gravity comes back in."

This song describes a drug user's descent into crystal meth addiction. The line, "I want something else..." contains a reference to crystal meth in the song. Stephan Jenkins explained on the HBO show Reverb that they intentionally put a chipper melody to the dark lyrical content. Said Jenkins: "When I wrote 'Semi-Charmed Life,' the guitar riff was intended to have this sort of bright duh-nuhnuh-nunt, this shiny thing, because that was a feeling of speed. You know, it's sort of a bright, shiny drug. And we all were sort of into hip-hop, and so it has a hip-hop flow over it."

The line: "Doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break" was a little racy for some radio stations, who played an edited version with the words "Crystal Meth" distorted.

Talking about the deeper meaning of the song on Reverb, Jenkins said: "It's a song about always wanting something. It's about never being satisfied, and reaching backwards to things that you've lost and towards things that you can never get. I think everybody has some identification with that. The story line between the people, the demise of this relationship, is just an extreme example of that condition. I think that's what makes people really relate to 'Semi-Charmed Life.'"

The band has admitted that they borrowed the doot doot doot part of the song from Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side."

This was Third Eye Blind's first single. The group's name could be a reference to a penis, but The Third Eye is also a metaphysical term in new age spirituality referring a state of enlightenment and is associated with clairvoyance. (thanks, Jules - W. Bloomfield, MI)

The original line was "I want nothing else..." but when the song was eventually released, it was changed to "I want something else." No explanation has ever been given for this, however recordings of the original can be found. (thanks, Andy - Chattanooga, TN)

This was played in the Norm MacDonald movie Dirty Work as Norm's character, Mitch, returns home after being fired to find his girlfriend is also kicking him out. (thanks, DC - Kansas City, MO)

In 2015, when we asked Stephan Jenkins how he felt about this song, he replied: "I don't feel like it's really mine. It's participating in the experiences that other people are having with it."

I've got the demons in me,
I've got to flush them all away,
I feel the demons rage,
I must clean them all away

Yeah (yeah)

Inside I see more,
Cobwebs in the way,
The magic cleaner will,
Shine his smile over me

I am the demon,
Cleaner to save the day,
I get the back one,
Important they'll always stay

If only one thing that you'll know
Impostors from the show,
They'll try to trick you into,
Normal treatment,
Oh don't you listen to them say,
Shush them all away
I am the Demon Cleaner,
Madman of Encino,
I am the the freedom bleeder,
Standing naked here to say,
I'm the only way

Demon Cleaner

Written by Kyuss guitarist Josh Homme, "Demon Cleaner" finds frontman John Garcia singing about purging the demons from his system. The song could be interpreted different ways, but it's really about brushing your teeth.

Dentists and oral hygiene were a big deal for Homme, who used to have nightmares about having his teeth pulled. So the song does relate to his personal demons, but it's also quite literal: the line "I get the back one,
Important they'll always stay," is about brushing your molars.

Garcia, however, would interpret Kyuss songs as they related to his life, and he encouraged listeners to do the same. "If you try to get something deeper out of that from that song, I think that's great," he said in our 2014 interview .

Kyuss didn't print the lyrics on their albums for this very reason: they wanted listeners to hear it through their own ears.

Kyuss was full of rancor around this time, with many of their disputes dealing with songwriting and creative control. John Garcia was not involved in the songwriting, which made him feel like he was not respected. Bass player Brant Bjork, who was the main songwriter along with Homme, left the band after the Welcome to Sky Valley album.

I got a pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade.
I don't have a lot of money, but I'm bringing everything I made.
I've got a callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurting too.
I'm gonna eat them all up, just as soon as they turn blue.

'Cause I've got Pac-Man Fever;
Pac-Man fever.
It's driving me crazy.
Driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man fever;

I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.
I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.

I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key.
I've got Speedy on my tail, and I know it's either him or me.
So I'm heading out the back door and in the other side;
Gonna eat the cherries up and take them all for a ride.

[Chorus]

I'm gonna fake it to the left, and move to the right;
'Cause Pokey's too slow, and Blinky's out of sight.

Now I've got them on the run, and I'm looking for the high score;
So it's once around the block, And I'll slide back out the side door.
I'm really cookin' now, eating everything in sight.
All my money's gone, so I'll be back tomorow night.

'Cause I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
It's driving me crazy.
Driving me crazy.
I've got Pac-Man fever;
Pac-Man fever.
I'm going out of my mind.
Going out of my mind.

After a recording session one night, they went to a bar that had the game and started playing. After a few more nights playing Pac-Man, they wrote a song about it.

Buckner & Garcia were slightly ahead of the Pac-Man trend. By the time the game became a phenomenon, they had already released the song on a small label and were in a position to capitalize on the Pac-Man craze. One of their friends who was a disc jockey in Atlanta played it a few times on his show, and the single started selling. This got the attention of CBS records, who signed them to a deal and issued it as a single in wide release.

When CBS signed Buckner & Garcia, they needed them to put out an album, but it had to be quick, before the Pac-Man fad passed. For 3 weeks, Buckner and Garcia went to arcades researching video games and writing songs about them. The result was an album of video-game songs like "Do The Donkey Kong," "Ode To A Centipede," and "Froggy's Lament."

The single sold over 2 million copies and was a major source of revenue for CBS Records. They dropped Buckner and Garcia the next year.

Contains sound effects from the video game. Since there was no good way to do it, the sounds were recorded directly from the machine.

This was recorded in German by Gerald Mann. The title was "Pac-Man Fieber."

Pac-Man was a big deal in 1982. Spin-off games include "Ms. Pac-Man" and "Pac-Man Jr." It was also made into a cartoon series that year.

Born Too Slow Lyrics

Just like seventies goofballs
He's waiting on last calls
Well listen to Method Man
'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Born just a little too slow
Just a little too slow

Just a little too
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh just a little too

'Cause if he picks up the wrong kind
You'll know you'll be turning blind
Gun at your head
Lay him down just the wrong way
You know that he's turning gray
Born just a little too slow

Oh your lights are burning too,
Burning too, burning too slow.
Oh your lights are burning too, just a little too.
Just a little too

Your lights are burning too
Just a little too
Oh your lights are burning too
Just a little to slow

'Cause if you leave him the last line
Don't leave him the brown kind
Well listen to Method Man

So if you're leavin' him callin'
You know you'll be fallin'
Lights are burning low
Your stars are burnin' gold
Lights are burning low.
Your stars are burnin' gold

Born just a little too

Born Too Slow

The Crystal Method (Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan) wrote the track for this song and commissioned former Kyuss frontman John Garcia to write the lyric and sing on the track. In our interview with Garcia, he said that he was surprised when The Crystal Method asked to work with him, since there wasn't much crossover between their sound and what he did in Kyuss. Garcia, however, has varied musical tastes and was intrigued by the challenge, so he took the gig, choosing this track to work with out of a few that Kirkland and Jordan sent him.

"I like it when I have a personal vendetta with a song, I'll put it to you that way," he said in our 2014 interview . "When I can't fit a lyric or a melody to a song, it becomes a thing with me and I have a relationship with it, and sometimes it wins and sometimes it doesn't win. Well, this one was personal to me and I wanted to see if I could do it. My inner artist was bored with what he was doing, and I just thought it was a challenge."

Describing the lyrical content of this song, John Garcia told us it was "another tragedy about this dude born slow and who got into drugs - just another tragic story."
