One Mint Julep Lyrics


One Mint Julep
  • A Mint Julep is a drink made with bourbon, sugar, and cracked ice. Served with a sprig of mint, it is a traditional drink at horse races.
  • The Clovers did the original version in 1952 (with a cover by Louis Prima the same year), but Charles made it uniquely his own. Other artists to record the song include Sarah Vaughan, Duane Eddy, Count Basie, King Curtis and The Ventures.
  • Released on ABC's Impulse! Jazz label, Charles' recording was a surprise hit. The producer was Creed Taylor, who started the Impulse! label. Charles' one and only album with Impulse! was due to their association with ABC Records, whom he was signed to.
  • This song is mainly an instrumental, with room for some improvised vocals. Taylor takes credit for the one vocal line in Ray's version of the song, stating he told Charles that during the break in the instrumental, he wanted Charles to say, "Just a little bit of soda." Charles seemed hesitant for a bit, but complied... sort of. Instead, he said, "Just a little bit of SOUL, yeah!" Interestingly, this "incidental" line helped further fuel the Soul Music Movement of the 60s. In addition, several other acts began using the phrase in their own way, most noticeably Little Stevie Wonder in his first hit, "Fingertips (Part 2)." (thanks, Faundell - Brooklyn, NJ, for above 2)

    Paradise Is You Lyrics


    Walking along on a sandy beach
    Everybody's laughing under cigarette trees
    And the water here is crystal clear and bright
    The air is rich with a Hawaiian breeze
    The grass is alive with sugar weeds
    And the hill tops tuck in the bay for the night

    And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
    But without you here there's nothing nice
    'Cause in your eyes
    That's my paradise

    When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
    My Paradise Is You, my paradise is you
    When everything I know is slipping out of view
    My paradise is you, my paradise is you

    You
    My heaven is you

    The runners run and the teasers tease
    But none of these faces can set me free
    And the water here is crystal clear and bright
    When I compare this pleasure beach
    To all the places in your eyes that I have seen
    It could be anywhere, if you're not by my side

    And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
    But without you here there's nothing nice
    'Cause in your eyes
    That's my paradise

    When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
    My paradise is you, my paradise is you
    When everything I know is slipping out of view
    My paradise is you, my paradise is you

    When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
    My paradise is you, my paradise is you
    When everything I know is slipping out of view
    My paradise is you, my paradise is you

    You
    My heaven is you
    My heaven is you
    My heaven is you

    All my love is for you
    Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

    (When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
    (My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

    (When everything I know is slipping out of view) All my love is for you
    (My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

    (When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
    (My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

    Paradise Is You
  • This song finds La Roux's Elly Jackson in tropical paradise away from her beloved. However, without her lover, the palm-lined beach is "nothing nice."
  • The song is a track from La Roux's Trouble In Paradise album. Jackson explained its title to NME: "There are lot of themes to the record and I think that 'Trouble In Paradise' is a nice umbrella title," she said. "In songs I like the juxtaposition between dark and light. It's that feeling you get when you're in a club and there's a tune that's essentially a happy tune, but there's something about it that's melancholy – whether it's a chord, or one part of the melody, or one line of the lyrics – and it makes you feel like you could cry, but also run at the same time. That's what really gets me – that mood – and that's what the record tries to capture."
  • This track and the rest of the album's sunny atmosphere comes from growing up in Brixton, where La Roux still lives. (A large percentage of Brixton's population is of African and Caribbean descent). "I never really felt it came out on my first record," she told The Independent, "but I've always been fascinated by Caribbean culture."

    Busted Lyrics


    My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm Busted
    Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
    I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
    A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
    The county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted.

    I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
    I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
    My brother said there ain't a thing I can do,
    My wife and my kids are all down with the flu,
    And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted.

    Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted
    The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
    The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow,
    Me and my family got to pack up and go,
    But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm busted.

    I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing,

    Busted
  • The Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard wrote this in 1962. It was originally recorded by Johnny Cash that year, but it became a hit in 1963 Charles did a Soul version. Both Johnny Cash and Ray Charles could have a lot of fun with their music, and that's the case here as they sing from the perspective of a farmer who could really use a government bailout. He can't even borrow some cash, since everyone else is busted too. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)
  • This was the 1963 Grammy winner for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording.
  • This song's writer Harlan Howard was a prolific, legendary songwriter. Country Universe quotes him explaining some of the songwriting technique that went into "Busted": "The only thing I know to do with songs like "Why Not Me" and "Busted" – which I never thought was a good title – is to put the title in there often so that people remember it. The weaker the title, the more you gotta hear it."

    Night That You'll Never Forget Lyrics


    You showed up at the party
    You wasn't gonna stay too long
    But that all changed up when your song came on
    Somebody handed you a cup
    So you went with the flow and you filled it on up.

    You feel the buzz in your bones
    And then you start making the rounds
    You know all too well what's about to go down
    You say "hold up, I better go"
    Yeah right, next thing you know...

    You look up and it's 2 in the morning
    You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
    You got your shades on, you got your drink up
    Like you're VIP at the nightclub
    You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
    She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
    It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
    Night That You'll Never Forget

    Now you're phone's filled up
    With pictures that you didn't take
    And it's you throwing deuces with 'what's her name'
    And there's your boys right there
    Tailgate poker table all in on a pair.

    Here come the country girls
    They wanna dance all on ya, wanna rock your world
    It was supposed to be a regular night (Regular night)
    But now you're like
    "To the left, to the left, to the right."

    You look up and it's 3 in the morning
    You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
    You got your shades on, you got your drink up
    Like you're VIP at the nightclub
    You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
    She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
    It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
    Night that you'll never forget

    To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right

    You look up and it's 4 in the morning
    You're still sipping whatever they're pouring
    You got your shades on, you got your drink up
    Here's to the nights that memories are made of
    You kissed a girl and she told you her secrets
    She's so hot, you still can't believe it's true
    It ain't over yet, but it's gonna be a hard to remember
    Night that you'll never forget

    To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right
    To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right

    Night That You'll Never Forget
  • This song describes a house party gone right. "It's a party song, but it has a cool, laid-back feel," Love and Theft's Eric Gunderson said. "A few people I've talked to at country radio recently said there's a lot of stuff on the radio right now that sounds the same, and this is very fresh, and it's a different take on a song that a lot of people are tryin' to put out. So, we're excited about it."
  • Gunderson and his Love & Theft partner Stephen Barker Liles called in some colleagues to help out on the hook. "This is the first time we've ever had a party song at radio, but playing clubs all these years, we've had a few of these nights where you lose track of time celebrating," Liles explained. "We had a blast recording the song, and some of the RCA promotion staff joined us in the studio and sang on the chorus, and it's cool to have the people working the song singing on it."
  • We see Gunderson and Liles throw a party in the music video. Several other several country music artists join in the bash – look out for Parmalee, JT Hodges, Joel Crouse and Maggie Rose.

    You Are My Sunshine Lyrics


    The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
    I dreamed I held you in my arms
    When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
    So I hung my head and I cried.

    [Chorus]
    You Are My Sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
    Please don't take my sunshine away

    I'll always love you and make you happy,
    If you will only say the same.
    But if you leave me to love another,
    You'll regret it all some day:

    [Chorus]

    You told me once, dear, you really loved me
    And no one else could come between.
    But not you've left me and love another;
    You have shattered all my dreams:

    You Are My Sunshine
  • This was written by Jimmie Davis and his guitar player Charles Mitchell, who first recorded it in 1940, a year after both the Pine Ridge Boys and the The Rice Brothers Gang introduced it (some historians claim Paul Rice actually wrote the tune and sold it to Davis). Davis was a prolific songwriter who became Governor of Louisiana a few years after.
  • Bing Crosby was the first to have a hit with this song. His version went to #20 in the US in 1941.
  • This was sung on the "It Was a GOOD Life" episode of The Twilight Zone by a neighbor of a supernatural little boy -- before the boy changes the neighbor into a jack-in-the-box and buries him in a cornfield.
  • The B-side was Hank Williams' signature song, "Your Cheatin' Heart." (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 3)
  • The acclaimed 2000 O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack includes a version from bluegrass performer Norman Blake.

    March, April, May
    She crammed night and day

    March, April, May
    She crammed night and day
    I hadn't seen her smile in a while

    Staircase at the University
    She threw herself down and her head split three ways

    "If you don't get three As," her sweet daddy said
    You're no child of mine and as far as I'm concerned, you're dead
    "If you don't get three As," her sweet daddy said
    You're no child of mine and as far as I'm concerned, you're dead

    Staircase at the university
    She threw herself down and her head split three ways

    "If you don't get three As," her lovely boyfriend said
    Your shame is sure to stain the family name
    "If you don't get three As," her lovely boyfriend said
    Your shame is sure to stain the family name

    Staircase at the university
    She threw herself down and her head split three ways

    Crammin', jammin', pack-em-in rammin'
    Chock-a-block box, power study, polish up
    And if it breaks your heart then don't come running to me

    Crammin', jammin', pack-em-in rammin'

    And if it breaks your legs then don't come running to me

    Staircase at the University
  • This satire of academic expectations depicts the suicide of an over-pressured student. Producer Joe Chiccarelli recalled to Radio.com : "I went through that: I got a scholarship, and my parents were like, 'You're not going to coast by, just because you got a scholarship!' I went to Catholic school, so I understand guilt. Who can't relate to this song? Everybody at some point in their life gets that torture from their parents, to different degrees. It's so universal."
  • Chiccarelli found this a difficult track to put together in the studio. "There were those long musical sections that Moz really wanted in there," he explained. "So I had to figure out what to do, to keep your interest. There's one section where the strings are featured more, one section where the guitar is featured more. There were definitely challenges."

    Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
    I can see that far away look in your eyes

    That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

    And that tears are only rain to make love grow
    Well my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger)
    If I lived to be a hundred years old

    Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
    I can see that far away look in your eyes
    I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Yeah now
    That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

    Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better)
    That's the way it's happened every time before
    And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow)
    Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

    Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
    I can see that far away look in your eyes
    I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Alright now

  • This Spanish-tinged Pop cut about stolen kisses was originally earmarked to be a B-side rather than a World Peace Is None of Your Business track. However, after sequencing the album, Morrissey added the tune as he felt like there needed to be a lighter, more energetic song.
  • It was Morrissey's idea for keyboardist Gustavo Manzur to sing the "Bésame mucho" part. Producer Joe Chiccarelli recalled to Radio.com : "I remember him asking Gus, "How do you say 'Kiss me a lot' in Spanish?" It's "Bésame mucho!"

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

    Work sucks, I know
    She left me roses by the stairs
    Surprises let me know she cares

    Say it ain't so, I will not go
    Turn the lights off, carry me home

  • Guitarist Tom DeLonge wrote this for his girlfriend after she complained that he always writes songs about other girls. He was afraid it wouldn't be good so he kept telling her it was terrible. It ended up being a hit and she was very pleased with it. (thanks, Colin - Colbert, WA)
  • According to DeLonge, the lyrics are true. His girlfriend really did leave him roses by the stairs after a long night in the studio.
  • The group performed this at both the 1999 and 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. At the 2000 performance, where this won for Best Group Video, a bunch of "little people" joined the band. Many of them danced on stage, and a few swung from wires while pyrotechnics exploded overhead.
  • Blink-182 bass player Mark Hoppus met Skye Everly, the woman who would become his wife, on the shoot for this video.
  • This song was used in the Simpsons episode when Bart got a "split" from Homer and moved into the row under Tony Hawk's skate/party room. (thanks, Britt - Tville, Australia)
  • In 2010, Irish pop duo Jedward recorded their own version of the song on their album Planet Jedward. Their version reached #21 in the Irish singles charts. Hoppus told Spinner UK that he was happy for the former X-Factor finalists to cover the track. Said Hoppus: "I have heard the cover. It's funny 'cause all of a sudden on the online forums and my Twitter people started talking about this band covering 'All the Small Things' - it was everything from 'Finally a good band plays this song' to 'How did you guys ever let a band cover your song?' I think that bands can cover whatever songs - we never gave permission for them but I don't think we needed to, I think any band can cover anyone else's song." (If you're unfamiliar with Jedward, you can see them in action here. And Hoppus is correct, anyone can cover any song as long as they pay the mechanical licensing fee.)
  • Tom DeLonge admitted to NME in 2014 that he can no longer listen to this song. "It came on the radio the other day," he said, "and I was like, 'I sound like I'm f--king 11.'"

    "It's still played everywhere, but I don't know why," DeLonge added. "Blink has some really great songs that I think have legs to stand around for a long period of time. But that's not one of them and it haunts me!"

    Smiler with Knife Lyrics


    See in me the side of you
    That sometimes makes you jump with fright
    Smiler with Knife, it's your big night

    Sinking bed, all warm and clean
    Only sadness waits for me
    Smiler with knife you're just in time
    You're just in time

    Press the blade against my skin
    Never to make love again
    Smiler with knife it's alright

    Surrender will I am before you
    I am sick to death of life
    Smiler with knife, alight
    Alight

    If such things weren't meant to be
    Then they would never come to me
    Smiler, oh, don't worry so

    Slamming one shots, gentle pain
    Someone calling out my name
    Sex and love are not the same
    Are not the same

    Time has frittered long and slow
    All I am and was will go
    But where to and why now?

    When my last breath falls away
    Smiler, trust me when I say:
    "You'll be okay"
    "You'll be okay"

    Smiler with Knife
  • This mostly acoustic tune finds Morrissey singing of a deeply wounded, tortured guy begging some former lover to "press the blade against my skin." Producer Joe Chiccarelli recalled to Radio.com : "We used an acoustic piano that's been distorted, and there's also some backwards piano fills that have been treated through a guitar amp. So, some of the sounds that sound like guitar on that song is actually piano."
  • The title phrase originates from Chaucer's The Knights Tale:

    "The smiler with the knife under the cloak
    The stable burning with the black smoke
    The treason and murder in the bed."

    Captured effortlessly
    That's the way it was
    Happened so naturally

    You holding me close
    What was I gonna do?
    I let myself go

    And now we're flyin' through the star
    I hope this night will last forever

    I've been waitin' for you
    It's been so long
    I knew just what I would do
    When I heard your song
    Filled my heart with your bliss
    Gave me freedom
    You knew I could not resist
    I needed someone

    And now we're flyin' through the stars
    I hope this night will last forever
    Oh oh oh oh

    Ain't Nobody
    Loves me better
    Makes me happy
    Makes me feel this way
    Ain't nobody
    Loves me better than you

    I wait for night time to come
    And bring you to me
    Can't believe I'm the one
    I was so lonely
    I feel like no one could feel
    I must be dreamin'
    I want this dream to be real
    I need this feelin'

    I make my wish upon a star
    And hope this night will last forever

    Ain't nobody
    Loves me better
    Makes me happy
    Makes me feel this way
    Ain't nobody
    Loves me better than you

    And first you put your arms around me
    Then you put your charms around me
    I can't resist this sweet surrender
    Oh my nights are warm and tender
    We stare into each other's eyes
    And what we see is no surprise
    Got a feeling most with treasure
    And a love so deep we cannot measure

    Ain't nobody
    Loves me better
    Makes me happy
    Makes me feel this way
    Ain't nobody
    Loves me better than you

    Ain't Nobody
  • This was the last chart single for the group before lead singer Chaka Khan (born Yvette Stevens) left for a solo career. On this track, she sings about a man who makes her feel so good, that no other can come close.
  • Producer Quincy Jones wanted this for Michael Jackson's Thriller album, and almost got it. Rufus keyboardist David Wolinski wrote the song. The group didn't like it but recorded it anyway. It was released as a single when Wolinski threatened to pull it off the album and give it to Jackson and Jones. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)
  • When Rufus was being formed, they rejected guitarist Roger Linn because he didn't sing, but this was one of the first songs ever written to the beat of Roger's invention - the LM-1 Drum, the world's first programmable, sampled-sound drum machine. In this case the machine was used to create the keyboard loop. John Robinson played live drums and overdubbed the fills. (thanks, Massimo - New York, NY, and Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)
  • In 1989 a remixed version by Frankie Knuckles reached #6 in the UK.
  • In 1997 rapper LL Cool J topped the UK charts (#46 in US) with his interpolation of the song. It became a hit after being featured in the movie Beavis And Butthead Do America.
  • In 2003 British pop band Liberty X reached #3 in the UK with "Be Nobody," a merging of the lyrics from "Ain't Nobody" and the music from Human League's "Being Boiled."
  • 12 year old British singer Jasmine Thompson recorded a cover in 2013 after she was discovered singing on YouTube. Her version was featured in a TV commercial for Sainsbury's and charted in the Top 40 of the UK singles chart.

    Mountjoy Lyrics


    The joy brings many things
    It cannot bring you joy
    Sons of mothers huddle here
    Men and boys

    1850 swung the doors
    And human sewage swept inside
    Where victims speak in whines
    And where the hardened cried

    I was sent here by a three foot half-wit in a wig
    I took his insults on the chin, and never did I flinch

    A swagger hides the fear in here
    By this rule we breathe
    And there is no one on this earth
    Who I’d feel sad to leave

    You see we all lose
    We all lose

    What those in power do to you
    Reminds us at a glance
    How humans hate each others guts
    And show it given the chance

    We never say aloud the things
    That we say in our prayers
    'Cause no one cares

    Many executed here
    By the awful lawfully good
    But the only thing that makes me cry
    Is when I see the sky

    Brendan Behan's laughter rings
    For what he had or hadn't done
    For he knew then as I know now
    That for each and every one, of us
    We all lose
    Rich or poor
    We all lose
    Rich or poor, they all lose

    Mountjoy
  • On this somber tune, Morrissey explores the Dublin prison where Republican writer Brendan Behan did time for the attempted murder of two Irish detectives. Behan set his most famous play, The Quare Fellow, in Mountjoy jail.
  • Producer Joe Chiccarelli told Radio.com that the drums were programmed "to sound like the metal of a prison door, to evoke the concrete, the unhappy inmates."
