Speak To Me Lyrics

Speak To Me

In the pre-Dark Side live performances, this song was usually just low drumming and a heartbeat. On the album, it contains the heartbeat, followed by sounds representing things that can drive you to madness: spoken bits, a clock ticking, a cash register, coins clinking, synthesizer, then at the end, a mad shriek. It was Clare Torry that Pink Floyd used for the closing screams as the song fades to "Breathe." She is later heard on "Great Gig In The Sky." (thanks, Old Pink, New Castle, IN)

This is Pink Floyd's only song that gives all composing credits to drummer Nick Mason, who generally didn't write the songs - he called the composition a "color sound montage." At one point Roger Waters claimed this credit was a "gift" to Mason, which didn't help band relations. (thanks, Matt - Russell Springs, KY)

Pink Floyd's road manager Peter Watts contributed the crazed laughter on this song. The father of the actress Naomi Watts, Peter died of a heroin overdose in 1976 at age 30.

The title doesn't appear in the lyric - "speak to me" is what the album's engineer Alan Parsons would say when testing a microphone.

There are lots of little aural details on the Dark Side of the Moon album that lend it to repeated headphone listening. An example on this track: the heartbeat comes slightly from the right, which simulates the sound of a person's heart if he were standing directly in front of you.

Nothing Will Change Lyrics

Maybe something will change
Maybe something will change

Remember when you saw me on the street
And then you looked in my eyes?
You helped me with the tire change
It had been a while and I had thought that you'd forgotten about me
I never could have forgotten you

I will reach you
I will reach you
I will meet you, on your street
I won't let you down

Maybe something will change
Maybe something will change

A couple years later when I saw you making western moves
And pal-in' 'round but I still saw in you
You always believed in me and I always believed in you
Let's not turn the page

I will reach you
I will reach you
I will meet you, on your street
I won't let you down

I will meet you
I will meet you
I will meet you, on your street
I don't wanna let you down

Nothing Will Change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change

Nothing Will Change

Are We There is about Van Etten's decade-long on-off relationship with a DJ named Christian that cracked as she focused on her blossoming music career. This song finds Van Etten telling the story of how she met her boyfriend. She told Uncut magazine: "That one is really R&B which I haven't done much before, it has more of a Sade groove. I was really into Sade's 'Soldier of Love.' And I got tired of the guitar, I thought I was rewriting the same song, so I started playing keys more."

"Coming up with a song on the organ felt different, I started singing in a more soulful way."

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives Lyrics

You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives

This leads directly into "Another Brick In The Wall (part II)" on the album, and radio stations usually play them together. "Another Brick In The Wall (part 2)" starts too abruptly for most desirable radio play, as opposed to this song which starts with the hum of a helicopter, which sounds rather nifty on a decent sound system.

This also leads into "Another Brick In The Wall (part 2) on Echoes, their greatest hits album. (thanks, Matt - Russell Springs, KY, for above 2)

In the DVD commentary for the movie version of The Wall, Roger Waters explained that the scene with the teacher and his wife was symbolic of a lack of communication and pointed out that the teacher took out his frustrations on the students. In the movie, when the teacher grabs Pink's little black book of poems, the one he quotes is their earlier hit "Money." Also in the commentary, Waters admits to having a lot of teachers like the one we see punishing Pink. (thanks, Ales - Rialto, CA)

Make It Easy Lyrics

Make It Easy

The song's music video features the We Are Scientists duo of Keith Murray and Chris Cain engaged in a low-budget space adventure. "It's a love song, but with plenty of ambivalence and frustration lurking around the edges," Murray explained to MTV News. "We figured a good way to illustrate that would be to use that old trope of a guy who gets involved with an alien woman on a foreign world after slaying all her friends. The seeds of disaster are planted right at the beginning for this young couple!"

"It's a video about misunderstanding, conflict, and the fact that beauty can't be defined using limited cultural signifiers," Cain added. "It is also, of course, the sort of martial-arts spectacular not seen since Bruce Lee's heyday."

The song is a track from We Are Scientists' fifth album TV En Français. Asked by HMV.com where the title came from, Murray replied: "We were in Miami doing photoshoots for the album artwork and we knew that one of the themes for the album was poor communication, the idea of being in a conversation and not really understanding what the other person was really saying. We saw this cheap motel on the beach in Miami that advertised that it had TV in French and we thought it was an interesting metaphor for poor communication between a couple."

"It's like you're talking to someone, but you're not really catching what it is they're really saying, it's a bit like watching TV in French," he added, "When you watch TV in French you kind of get the gist of what's going on, but you're missing a lot of the nuances and core meaning."

What Is This Thing Called Love? Lyrics

I was a humdrum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What Is This Thing Called Love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

A Cole Porter composition, this popular jazz standard debuted in the 1928 musical Wake Up and Dream and was first performed by English singer Elsie Carlisle. Its legacy has endured through covers by Billie Holiday, Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald.

Gwyneth Paltrow performed this song as Kitty Dean (originally written as Peggy Lee) in the Truman Capote biopic Infamous (2006).

English singer Lemar performed this in the 2004 Cole Porter biopic, De-Lovely (named for "It's De-Lovely"), while actress/big band singer Ginny Simms sang it in the 1946 biographical film, Night And Day, also named for its title song.

Give It To Me

One of the most popular J. Geils Band songs from the group's early years, this one is unusually carnal, with Peter Wolf making it very clear in his vocal delivery what he's asking for in "Give It To Me."

Wolf wrote the song with the group's keyboard player Seth Justman.

J. Geils Band had their biggest hits in the '80s with "Freeze-Frame" and "Centerfold," but that was the culmination of a long career that included lots of blues-based boogie music like this track.

"Give It To Me" was cut down to 3:07 for radio play, but the full version runs a healthy 6:32, with showcase spots for many of the band members. Seth Justman gets a long solo on organ, which is followed by a guitar spot by J. Geils (the group's guitarist was the band's namesake) and an extended harmonica solo by Magic Dick. The song became a concert favorite, and one that established the J. Geils Band as a great live act. The live version from their album Blow Your Face Out is the one many radio stations play, as it captures the energy of their shows.

Heineken beer used this in commercials in 2002.

Bill Szymczyk produced the Bloodshot album, which was recorded at the Hit Factory in New York City. Szymczyk would later produce the Eagles, including their albums On the Border and Hotel California.

Fat Lyrics

Your butt is wide, well mine is too
Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you
The word is out, better treat me right
'Cause I'm the king of cellulite
Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right

My zippers bust, my buckles break
I'm too much man for you to take
The pavement cracks when I fall down
I've got more chins than Chinatown

Well, I've never used a phone booth
And I've never seen my toes
When I'm goin' to the movies
I take up seven rows

Because I'm Fat, I'm fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
Don'tcha call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again who's fat

When I walk out to get my mail
It measures on the Richter scale
Down at the beach I'm a lucky man
I'm the only one who gets a tan
If I have one more pie a la mode
I'm gonna need my own zip code

When you're only having seconds
I'm having twenty-thirds
When I go to get my shoes shined
I gotta take their word

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, sha mone
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds
Lemme tell you once again who's fat

If you see me comin' your way
Better give me plenty space
If I tell you that I'm hungry
Then won't you feed my face

Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
Woo woo woo, when I sit around the house
I really sit around the house

You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know, you know, you know, come on
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
And you know all by myself I'm a crowd
Lemme tell you once again

You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, you know, ho
(Fat, fat, really really fat)
You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know

And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud
Just tell me once again who's fat

Fat

A parody of Michael Jackson's hit "Bad," this song is all about the state of being overweight. It's similar in concept to Yankovic's previous Jackson parody, "Eat It."

Food is a common theme in Al's parodies - he drew inspiration from cafeterias when he started writing songs.

The video is based on "Bad," with Al wearing a fat suit and gorging himself throughout the clip. It was a big-budget production with special effects that required lots of ingenuity - to make Al's face expand, tubes were placed in the latex on his face and inflated by technicians blowing through them.

The subway set is the same one used in the "Bad" video.

All my friends know the Low Rider
The low rider is a little higher

Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer

Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider is the one to meet, yeah

Low rider don't use no gas now
Low rider don't drive too fast

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

Low Rider

A low rider is a car, and also a culture. "Low Riders" are modified with hydraulic lifts that allow the driver to lower each wheel and make the car bounce. They are often customized with outrageous paint jobs, tiny steering wheels and swivel seats. The culture formed around these cars is big in the Southwestern US, and popular in Latino culture. Most of the band grew up in Southern California and were immersed in low rider culture.

War's drummer Harold Brown, who was a founding member of the band, knows his way around cars and had his own business working on them for a while, which kept him from getting drafted during the Vietnam War. Brown told us: "The first time I knew about what we called Low Riders were my cousin Leon and a few more cruising up and down the coast in California. You also had Hot Rodders, which were a different breed racing around town. They were from the other side of the tracks. Leon left his 1953 yellow Mercury with black prime spots on it, tuck and roll seat covers from Tijuana Mexico, lowered in the front, parked on the side of the house. He eventually lowered it all the way around after returning from the Korean War.

My brother KB and I had a 1953 Dodge. We'd chop our springs with torches - this would lower the car a few inches. It made for a hard ride up until homies started putting hydraulics on them. If you were driving a truck with lift gates on the rear, you'd better check to see if someone has stolen your hydraulics - it happened to me.

We would drive from Pomona California to South Los Angeles taking side streets and main drags through El Monte, Whittier, Watts, and Compton, then eventually into Long Beach/San Pedro, California. When they finally built freeways in Southern California we would cruise in the slow lane just in case we had to pull over and do some repairs. There wasn't any AAA for us folks.

Back in 1965-66, The Sheriffs would stop us for our car being too low. At first they would have a long rod with a clamp on it. Then they would take a pack of Camel cigarettes and clamp it on to the rod sliding it under the chassis of your hooptie. If it didn't go from one side to the other they would give you a ticket or impound your ride. You have to call your daddy or momma to come give you a rider. After a couple of years they became more sophisticated by having a stick with a caliper on the end made as a ruler. The Sheriffs would measure from the ground up to your rims, then slide the calipers from one side to the other to make sure you had proper clearance. Could you imagine having a blow out? You would be dragging along the cement. Thank God for lifts."

The lines "Take a little trip" and "Rides a little higher" led many listeners to believe this song was about drugs, but Brown tells a different story: "We did not want it to sound as if we were referring to drugs. As a rule most Lowriders are not big druggies, because we all had regular jobs as machinists, body and fender and mechanics. We didn't have any extra money for drugs. We put the money into our cars. Drugs didn't come into the picture then. That became a Hollywood thing for some reason. Maybe Cheech and Chong?

We were trying to convey that the Lowrider gets a little higher by riding in his automobile, being proud of how he takes care of his ride. It's like riding around in your trophy. We have found that if you are a real Lowrider with a nice ride and it's clean you will find that his or her home and work place is neat and in order. We Lowriders like to make our surroundings better by taking pride in what we are blessed with.

'Take a little trip, take a little trip with me and see.' That's how it felt with my big brother Charles Miller. He's the one that sung the song. When he and I would cruise in his 1948 Chevy (You can see Charles Miller in our Lowrider film on Youtube.com) we never knew what adventure we would encounter. One morning about 2:30 - 3:00 AM we came up on a fire in an apartment complex in Long Beach, California. The people were all asleep. Charles jumped out of his hooptie (1948 Chevy), me following close behind, and started banging on doors and throwing barrels and things against the building to get the attention of the residents inside. I had forgotten about that little trip out of many that we took."

The group's sax player, Charles Miller, came up with the idea for the song. Brown explains: "What happened on 'Low Rider' was in the studio, we were jamming, and I was supposed to have been on the downbeat. But all of the sudden I was on the upbeat. And I said, 'Oh, boy. I got the beat turned around.' I didn't panic. I said, 'Wait a minute. Stay there. Don't change it. Stay.' Because as long as you keep doing it over and over and over, it won't be a mistake. We were just messing around, you know. Then the next thing I know, Charles started just singing, "Low ri-der drives a little slower. The low..." he was just pumping it. And then the next thing I know Lee's over there putting that harmonica on, because Lee is a melody man all the time. And then - boom. If you'd hear the original version of it, all with that jam, that would be worth a million right there. When we finished it, all of us looked at it, 'That's a hit.' We didn't know that it was going to be an icon. You've got to say it's Americana. I don't care if you're driving a Cadillac or a Rolls Royce or if you have a hooptie - hearing it thumping, it just works because it predicts historically a time period in America. That's true about all music, pretty much. If you go back and look at a lot of music from 1800 to the turn of the century, all through the 1900s, how they used to write songs, "You're my little tulip." And then when you go into the 1940s all of the sudden you're talking about growing squash corn, and you're relating your love to that. Then you went into the '50s, you started getting Fats Domino and all them Hollywood types singing - that time period relating to it. Or even Chuck Berry. And then you got into our music, and then you started having all the other artists doing it, like we're not the only ones. But there were certain things during that time period, especially when we went into the Vietnam War, stuff was happening. Then we came on past the Vietnam War, and then all of the sudden the Disco stuff started happening. And then right up to now. You'll be able to look at it, you can tell what was going on, just like food or anything. What was happening. Clothes and everything. So our music, like 'Low Rider,' started setting a trend right there."

Disco was starting to become popular around this time. The slow funk groove on this song sounded nothing like the heavily produced dance beats that would soon dominate the charts.

The group was known as Nite Shift before they were asked to back up Eric Burdon and renamed War. Burdon had been lead singer of The Animals, and brought them instant notoriety. After two albums and the hit "Spill The Wine," Burdon left War, but the band continued without him, racking up several hits in the '70s.

Korn covered this in 1996. In their version, lead singer Jon Davis played the main melody on his bagpipes. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ)

In the movie Gone in 60 Seconds, this song got the "old school" car thieves into the mood to steal the cars. (thanks, Joe Smrekar - Green Bay, WI)

This was the theme song to the ABC sitcom The George Lopez Show.

This was the opening song in the 1978 Cheech & Chong comedy movie Up In Smoke.

The Offspring's "Original Prankster" is attributed as "Containing portions" of this song. (thanks, Ryan - lancashire, England)

The Lowrider Band consists of four of the five surviving original core group members of War: Howard E. Scott, B.B. Dickerson, Lee Oskar and Harold Brown. These members lost the right in federal court to use and tour under the name "War" in the mid-1990s to Far Out Productions (producer and songwriter Jerry Goldstein). The band's original keyboardist Lonnie Jordan began touring using the name "War" under Goldstein's guidance. (Thanks to Harold Brown for speaking with us about this song.

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

A sanitarium is a mental institution that an inmate can leave at his own free will.

This is somewhat inspired by the play/movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The movie stars Jack Nicholson as a mental patient.

Metallica members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett wrote this.

The chorus was supposed to be sung in a higher pitch, but while recording the vocals, James realized it wasn't going to work that way and sang it lower.

Limp Bizkit performed this on Metallica's MTV Icon special in May 2003. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ)

On the HBO special Paradise Lost: The Murder At Robin Hood Hills (West Memphis), this song was played in the opening shots. This marks the first time Metallica ever let their music be used in a movie or soundtrack. (thanks, Jodie - Jacksonville, AR)

In the original demo tape of this song, the lyrics were very much different. The demo tape included no chorus; it contained basically the same tune, but halfway in the song cuts off into the bass Interlude of "Orion" which is another song on the album. (thanks, JT - Tullahoma, TN)

Been away, haven't seen you in a while
How've you been, have you changed your style?
And do you think that we've grown up differently?
Don't seem the same, seems you've lost your feel for me

So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and We Just Disagree
Ooh ooh ooh, oh oh oh

I'm goin' back to a place that's far away, how 'bout you?
Have you got a place to stay?
Why should I care when I'm just trying to get along
We were friends and now it's the end of our love song

So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree
Ooh ooh ooh, oh oh oh

So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree

We Just Disagree

This song was written by Jim Krueger, a guitarist from Manitowoc, Wisconsin who joined Dave Mason's band in 1974. Affectionately and ironically known as "bruiser" (he was actually very soft-spoken), Krueger became Mason's trusted musical partner at a time when he sorely needed the help. Mason, a former member of the band Traffic, signed a deal with Columbia Records in 1973 that demanded two albums a year from him. It was Clive Davis who signed Mason, but Davis departed the label soon after, leaving Mason in the lurch.

The song is about a couple who have parted ways, possibly via divorce, and have agreed to set aside their differences and stop assigning blame. The song could describe any number of scenarios where a relationship goes sour; Mason connected with the song based on his numerous conflicts with band members, love interests and record labels.

In our interview with Mason , he explained: "I did it because I thought it was a great song. An unusual chord arrangement behind it. And it stood up - it was a song that when he sang it to me, it was like, 'Yeah, that's the song.' Just him and a guitar, which is usually how I judge whether I'm going to do something. If it holds up like that I'll put the rest of the icing on it.

I was going to cut it anyway, but I frankly thought it was too good a song to be a hit. Sounds strange. And it wasn't a huge hit, it got to #12. But it's been around. It's a great song. It's a timeless song."

Mason included the song on his 1977 album Let It Flow, but it wasn't chosen as the first single: that honor went to "So High (Rock Me Baby And Roll Me Away)," which peaked at #89. "We Just Disagree" was the second single, and it became Mason's biggest hit as a solo artist.

Jim Krueger, who wrote the song, also played the 12-string guitar and sang the harmony vocal. Krueger, who died of pancreatitis in 1993 at age 43, included this song on his only solo album, the 1978 release Sweet Salvation.

This stripped-down song stood out in 1977 amid the Disco offerings that proliferated on the radio. It held up well when Mason and Krueger set out on an acoustic tour in 1981, making them one of the first "unplugged" acts. The song was a staple of their setlist, and one Mason continued to play live after Krueger's death.

The Country singer Billy Dean covered this song in 1994, taking it to #9 on the Country chart.
