Brand New Lyrics


My love, ooo
My love

A winner never quits
And a quitter never wins
I thought about what I wanted
And you were on my list

Remember where I was?
In the desert with no love
No cactus's, just dust
And you swept me from above

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' Brand New
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me

My love, ooo
My love

Life to me is easy
People make it complicated
When love is the tool
No reason we can't make it

Come on, let's go, be brave
Feel somethin' at the [?]
Once we know that amaze
Then give it all the way

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me, oh

Listen, all my life, when I describe
What I want, I've been misunderstood
The more I try, at bein' satisfied
And didn't think that I could
But then you came along, and you made me strong
Like God said you would

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Good
Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me

    Do you wanna try?
    Take off your halo and wings
    Girl, I can make her fly

    I don't know, what's come over me
    My momma didn't raise me that way
    You lit a fire, from inside of me
    That'd light your seat ablaze, girl
    Light that ass on fire

    I could be the guy to treat you
    To a nice movie, feed you
    But I don't wanna mislead you
    Tonight I think I wanna be dirty, girl
    Do you wanna get dirty, girl? Come on
    Light that ass on fire

    They're tryna catch a glimpse (intimacy)
    Of you and I

    Gush
  • G I R L's most explicit sex jam, this disconcertingly titled song (pronounced "goosh") finds Pharrell threatening a paramour to "leave those panties in flames." There are times where I get a little bit cute," Skateboard P had warned before he started playing the album at the listening party. "But I should be allowed to do that."
  • The song's hook of "Light that ass on fire," is a repeat of Pharrell's line on his 2003 Busta Rhymes collaboration "Light Ya Ass on Fire."

    Mayonaise Lyrics


    Fool enough to almost be it
    Cool enough to not quite see it
    Doomed
    Pick your pockets full of sorrow
    And run away with me tomorrow
    June

    We'll try and ease the pain
    But somehow we'll feel the same
    Well, no one knows
    Where our secrets go

    I send a heart to all my dearies
    When your life is so, so dreary
    Dream
    I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
    While the harlots of my perils
    Scream

    And I fail
    But when I can, I will
    Try to understand
    That when I can, I will

    Mother weep the years I'm missing
    All our time can't be given
    Back
    Shut my mouth and strike the demons
    That cursed you and your reasons
    Out of hand and out of season
    Out of love and out of feeling
    So bad

    When I can, I will
    Words defy the plan
    When I can, I will

    Fool enough to almost be it
    And cool enough to not quite see it
    And old enough to always feel this
    Always old, I'll always feel this

    No more promise no more sorrow
    No longer will I follow
    Can anybody hear me
    I just want to be me
    When I can, I will
    Try to understand
    That when I can, I will

    Mayonaise
  • Billy Corgan got the title for this song after looking in his refrigerator. Corgan had many interesting names for songs. He said this about coming up with titles: "Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song 'Cow.'"
  • The title is not the correct way to spell "Mayonnaise." Corgan also used alternate spellings with the song "Galapogos" (Galapagos) and the album Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (Melancholy). (thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada, for above 2)
  • According to Billy Corgan, when he wrote the lyric he just "threw together a bunch of weird one liners." He says that while the song doesn't have any continuity, it later made some sense to him, as he could see that it reflected what he was going through at the time.
  • In 1756 a sauce made from olive oil and egg yolks was invented by the French chef of Louis François Armand de Vignerot du Plessis, duc de Richelieu. While the Duke was defeating the British at the successful siege of the English-held St. Philip's Castle, his chef was creating a victory feast that included a sauce made of cream and eggs. When the chef realized that there was no cream in the kitchen, he improvised, substituting olive oil for the cream. Located in Mahón, port city and the capital of Minorca, the successful siege had resulted in the French's gain of the entire island. The chef named the new sauce "Mahonnaise", (or mayonnaise) in honor of the Duke's victory. (From the book Food for Thought: Extraordinary Little Chronicles of the World by Ed Pearce)
  • The distinctive guitar sound came about in a very lo-tech fashion. Corgan explained: "The origin of the squealing high note was, I bought this guitar for $65, and it was such a cheap guitar that every time I'd stop playing it would make that whistle. So when we wrote the song, we wrote in these parts that would stop so the whistle became part of the song because every time I would stop it would whistle."

    Gust of Wind Lyrics


    My heart is filled, with love and care
    Not an ounce of gas, I would get up there
    The answer's simple
    You lift me up
    The view up here, I see all the stars
    There go Venus, and there go Mars
    Somethin' you been through
    You're from above

    Hey, when I first saw you, I got excited
    Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
    But I didn't know
    I didn't let go
    Then it occurred to me while tryna fight it
    Just like a kite, you learn to ride it
    But I didn't know
    You're s'posed to let it go

    Like a Gust of Wind
    You hit me off sometimes
    Like a gust of wind
    You push me back every once in a while
    Like a gust of wind
    You remind me there's someone up there
    Who whooshes in
    The air I need to power myself

    When I open the window
    I wanna hug you
    'Cause you remind me of the air
    I said yeah
    'Cause when I'm feelin' real low
    I remember I love you
    I put my hands in the air
    And you were there

    With your love, I can board the skies
    Finding a way that electrifies, mother's your other
    Cannot stow away
    Telephone winds of the northern sky
    Is the closest thing, and here is why
    'Cause we're color
    You blow me away

    I need you, like I'm breathing
    Music umbrellas can make one cover
    Who cares if they don't see you?
    Don't you know that they're the same?
    I need it like I'm breathing
    If you never discover, forever you'll suffer
    Who cares if they don't see you?
    You got until then to learn the way

    Like a gust of wind
    You hit me off sometimes
    Like a gust of wind
    You push me back every once in a while
    Like a gust of wind
    You remind me there's someone up there
    Who whooshes in
    The air I need to power myself

    When I open the window
    I wanna hug you
    'Cause you remind me of the air
    I said yeah
    'Cause when I'm feelin' real low
    I remember I love you
    I put my hands in the air
    And you were there

    When I first saw you, I got excited
    Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
    But I didn't know
    I didn't let go
    Then I realized I'm tryna fight it
    Just so they can learn to ride it
    But I didn't know
    I had to let it go

    Gust of Wind
  • This song finds Pharrell in love with a lady who lifts him up mentally and emotionally like a force of nature. It features a vocal contribution from Daft Punk – the Robots previously recruited Pharrell to appear on their 2013 Random Access Memories album.
  • The song was inspired by Pharrell's wife, model and designer Helen Lasichanh. He explained to The Sun: "That song came to me in a dream. It's the only time it has ever happened to me in my life."

    Pharrell continued: "I woke up and sang them to my girl and said: 'Babe, this is about you. It's about the divine force you have which could be compared to a gust of wind.' I told her: 'Like a gust of wind, you remind me there's someone out there who ushers in the air as I need to power in myself."

    "And my wife was overjoyed when she first heard that song," he added. "She was also a little teary-eyed but then we have the Robots on there. It was like, 'Wow! Those guys are like, the next level."
  • This is Pharrell's "personal favorite" song on G I R L, and during the album's listening party he played it twice, excitedly jumping back to the start at the part where Hans Zimmer's string arrangement kicks in.
  • The offbeat electric guitar was played by 17-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter Francesco Yates, who is signed to Atlantic Records.
  • Pharrell takes the opportunity to rep his i am OTHER YouTube channel and cultural movement when he sings on the second verse: "Mothership Other cannot go away."
  • The song was mixed by former Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones collaborator Nathan "Mick" Guzauski. He was also the recording engineer for Random Access Memories.
  • Directed by British filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), the music video finds Pharrell walking through an autumnal forest in his trademark hat accompanied by some girls demonstrating their ribbon dancing skills. Daft Punk don't appear in the clip, however the French duo's famous helmets feature as ancient stone statues, which fly and glow during their chorus.

    No More Mr. Nice Guy Lyrics


    I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
    'Til they got a hold of me.
    I opened doors for little old ladies,
    I helped the blind to see.
    I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
    They can't be seen with me and I'm gettin' real shot down
    And I'm feeling mean.

    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    No more Mister Clean,
    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    They say he's sick, he's obscene.

    I got no friends 'cause they read the papers.
    They can't be seen with me and I'm gettin' real shot down
    And I'm feeling mean.

    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    No more Mister Clean,
    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    They say he's sick, he's obscene.

    My dog bit me on the leg today.
    My cat clawed my eyes.
    Ma's been thrown out of the social circle,
    And dad has to hide.
    I went to church incognito.
    When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
    He recognized me,
    And punched me in the nose.
    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    No more Mister Clean,
    No more Mister Nice Guy,
    They say he's sick, he's obscene.

    No More Mr. Nice Guy
  • Cooper wrote this song about the reaction of friends and family toward his over-the-top stage persona. The maniac he plays on stage goes over well with his audiences, but the folks in his mother's church groups were unsure how to handle it and were uncomfortable talking about it. This song was the shock rocker's declaration that the "gloves are off," and he's no longer going to apologize for his wild-man stage antics, as there are many worse things that he could be doing with his life.

    The upbeat pop-rock anthem boasts an irresistible sing-along chorus that helped its chart fortunes.
  • Cooper co-wrote this song with Michael Bruce, who was a member of the original Alice Cooper Group. Bruce played guitar, keyboards and contributed vocals as a band member. He was also the group's chief songwriter and wrote or co-wrote many of their most-recognized songs, including "School's Out," "Under My Wheels," "I'm Eighteen," "Ballad of Dwight Fry," "Be My Lover," "Desperado" and "Billion Dollar Babies."
  • The lineup on this track was Cooper (vocals), Glen Buxton (lead guitar), Michael Bruce (rhythm guitar), Dennis Dunaway (bass) and Neal Smith (drums). In our interview with Smith , he explained that this song came at a time when the band was burnishing their Shock Rock for greater appeal. "'No More Mr. Nice Guy' is a good combination between the dark side and the commercial side," he said.
  • This was the third single from Billion Dollar Babies, the sixth studio album by Alice Cooper (the name of both the singer and the band at the time). This was the band's most commercially successful album. It topped the album charts in both the United States and the UK, and also made the Top 10 in Australia, Austria and Canada.

    The album was produced by Bob Ezrin, who has produced many albums for Cooper - both the Alice Cooper band and his solo LPs. With this album, Ezrin aimed for a more polished sound, but the tracks still have Cooper's signature Hard Rock flavor. Ezrin was one of the most commercially successful and acclaimed producers of the 1970s. Highlights in his career include his production work for Pink Floyd's groundbreaking album The Wall and KISS's multi-platinum Destroyer. Other notable albums he's produced for Cooper include Welcome to My Nightmare, School's Out, Love It To Death and Lace and Whiskey. Cooper has described Ezrin as "our George Martin."
  • Pat Boone pulled off an ironic cover of this song for his album In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, released in 1997. The Thrash Metal band Megadeth recorded a more sincere version for the 1989 horror film Shocker, which was later included on the band's EP Hidden Treasures in 1995.
  • This was featured in the 1993 movie Dazed and Confused during a scene where the school seniors (one of which was played by Ben Affleck) paddle a freshman per tradition. It was an appropriate choice, as the movie was set in 1976. When this scene was spoofed in the 2005 Family Guy episode "Jungle Love," the song was also used. The song also appears in the 2011 episode of The Simpsons titled "Love Is a Many Strangled Thing."
  • In 2010, Cooper rerecorded the song for the popular video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
  • Dave Mustaine, the frontman for Megadeth, became Alice Cooper's godson after Cooper became his mentor. When the video for Megadeth's version of this song was being shot in 1989, director Penelope Spheeris remembered Mustaine being so messed up on drugs he could not do the vocals and guitar playing at the same time, so the parts had to be recorded separately.

    Mama she has taught me well
    Told me when I was young
    "Son your life's an open book
    Don't close it 'fore its done"

    "The brightest flame burns quickest"
    That's what I heard her say
    A son's heart's owed to mother
    But I must find my way

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama, let my heart go
    Or let this heart be still
    Yeah, still

    Rebel, my new last name
    Wild blood in my veins
    Apron strings around my neck

    The mark that still remains
    Left home at an early age
    Of what I heard was wrong
    I never asked forgiveness
    But what is said is done

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama, let my heart go
    Or let this heart be still

    Never I ask of you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
    Never I ask of you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
    So let this heart be still

    Mama, now I'm coming home
    I'm not all you wished of me
    A mother's love for her son
    Unspoken, and maybe
    Yeah, I took your love for granted
    And all the things you said to me
    I need your arms to welcome me
    But, a cold stone's all I see

    Let my heart go
    Let your son grow
    Mama, let my heart go
    Or let this heart be still
    Let my heart go
    Mama, let my heart go

    You never let my heart go
    So let this heart be still

    Never I ask of you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave
    Never I ask of you
    But never I gave
    But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave

    So let this heart be still

    Mama Said
  • This is a song for James Hetfield's mother, who died of cancer when he was young. The song talks about his regrets of not being able to spend more time with her and how he hopes that she will still love him when he sees her again ("Mama now I'm coming home. I'm not all you wished of me. A mother's love for her son unspoken, help me be. Yeah I took your love for granted and all the things you said to me. I need your arms to welcome me. But a cold stone is all I see.") (thanks, Josh - El Paso, TX)
  • In an interview with Mojo magazine December 2008, Hetfield referred to this song about his mother as, "like a prodigal son song: leaving and then coming back and it's too late, you can't talk to her now." He added: "It was a realization that lots of questions went unanswered. 'I want to say this. I want to ask you this.' And you're unable to. But through therapy I was able to do a lot of grief work, about both parents."

    It Girl
  • Pharrell closes G I R L with this ode to the love of his life. He had been in a relationship with model/designer Helen Lasichanh for several years and they married in Miami on October 12, 2013.
  • G I R L is a tribute to ladies - physically and emotionally. The Neptunes producer's only previous solo album, 2006's In My Mind, received generally mixed reviews and had a disappointing commercial performance. Williams told GQ magazine how he got a call from Daft Punk's label, Columbia in Spring 2013. "And they're like, Look, we know that you're not interested in doing another solo album," he recalled. "But we know that you're going to change your mind. Even if you're not ready now, we know you're going to change your mind. And since we know that, we'd like to get ahead of it and change your mind and tell you, 'Look, here's a deal. Go make whatever album you want to make.'"

    Pharrell took some convincing, but once he'd signed, he already knew what the album would be. "I instantly knew that the name of the album was called G I R L," he said, "and the reason why is because women and girls, for the most part, have just been so loyal to me and supported me."
  • The song finishes on a long instrumental fade with distorted guitar riffs, warping strings and chiming percussion behind which Pharrell repeats the word 'girl.' He explained at the listening party that it's a song written with live shows in mind, hence the funky breakdown.
  • The colorful animated video channels both Japanese anime and 64-bit video game styles as we see a cartoon version of Pharrell wearing his recognisable Vivienne Westwood hat.

    Williams created the clip with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The pair previously worked together in 2009, when they collaborated on a sculpture that allegedly sold for $2 million. The Neptunes producer also remixed the theme song to Murakami's film Jellyfish Eyes five years later.

    These Are The Times Lyrics


    These Are The Times
  • James Young: "These Are the Times is really an intervention song and what the lyrics are have kind of evolved - what they are at this stage and what they were when Tommy and I first wrote it. When we first started working on it was seven years ago, it was more about, Tommy was heavily involved, and still is, with drug interventions, and very supportive of a lot of groups that do work in that field and I've been through a number of those, notably with our dearly departed first drummer John Panozzo. The song was about intervening in someone's life, kind of in a way that Chuck (Panozzo), who is now openly a gay man who has come out and announced that he's HIV-positive and his struggles with this - it's about supporting him. Ultimately, what the lyrics finally evolved into, in a way, was the passing of my younger brother from a lymphoma and when we had to take him off life support. When we were in his room, everyone was around crying and it was very emotional and from the next room comes the sound of Jimi Hendrix' 'Purple Haze.' This is in the intensive care unit and I said, 'This is my brother speaking to me, speaking to us.' And it lightened the mood. 'I hear voices from beyond the veil,' it sort of inspired that line, Tommy and I collaborated on that. So that song has kind of become about helping those, that there is something to live for, for those that think there isn't." (thanks, Jayme - Stockbridge, MI)

    How Does It Feel?

    Woo woo!
    Yessur! aha
    New Skateboard P
    Hey!
    Let's go get 'em
    Uh-huh
    Yo, hola

    Mearle maire, club muchacho
    Asorted flavours, in they solatos
    Inspire young minds, stacked by Nato's
    With the right determination of a patho
    Running 'cross the water with bricks at his poncho
    Face like a shoot when it's bussin' my glock hold
    Vanity stings, 'til I die when the holy father hands me my wings
    When I was young yo the teacher gave me stanity dreams
    Giving me music like drugs and they handed me things, they shoot it up
    See me on the TV, the cuties they wanna fuck
    Both presidential and plus, they hoop it up
    Got more hits in his zip, who want enough
    I can go back in time, you be Judge Eato
    With my men and ?? I know you thinkin' Neato
    Givin' peace to minutes, something like your T-Vo
    But it's 3 hundred thousand more with no remote
    Take it in the rain, I used to live with Tito
    But he clowned me and told me that my money's free-doughs
    Now the Enzo doors go up like a Dilo
    Reon, same song some from my man Nigo
    SLR, when the doors go up it's like a fresh elle jar
    Nigga we boss, he shall not get hot, he too frost
    Yessur...
    My nigga close your eyes,
    Just picture you're self just holdin' pies
    Implement a plan and and you'll surely rise
    Just promised by the man that controls the skies
    Don't you see, I know that shit's so ill
    Better yet, dawg, just tell me how you feel
    How you feel dawg?

    We just picture thinking, dreaming, scheming, breathing, reading, all in the late night
    Shaking, boiling, lacing, bake it, shaping, shaving, gotta get this cake right
    As I serve it, you just burn it, breathe it, learn it, now watch you take flight
    My nigga how does it feel?
    Ha ha! Yessur!

    Nigga you don't know me
    I'm part Howard Hues, part horny, part holy
    First trip on the ramp is the rock and rolly
    Keep one on my staff with a new pro-chromy
    If they priest need the mention that I've been biten
    But a force be the chocolate where critics are written
    He dresses insane where his music admire
    Ask anyone from Vouge and Esquire And Vanity Fair you like can of the year
    But you should guess who's in insanity chair
    Now it ain't about what I want
    Still thumbing through my life like a drug-star porn
    It's one thing to say you did it
    It's one thing to lie about your didgits
    It's one thing to say that you live it
    It's another for you fuckers to admit it
    But I admit I got all this paper plus the prettiest faces that's off of our nature
    I drive a Casper, s'cuse me Cassper, wanted meet me at my house, I got space like NASA
    And it'll make me happy buy yourself a Sattle
    Unlike my sister Stacy when she lost her papa
    I been there, gettin stroke and nothing to trap-uh
    John could do, when surrounded with true
    A man dies, baby born, as far as Peru
    It's a simple proof between us and imposters
    We hop in the air, and don't care what it costs us
    Now I'm with NERD with a pit full of Martians
    I guess you could say that we fly like saucers
    Zapping at niggas, with classing and figure
    The cash and class whippers
    The thrashing mag ripper
    Go 'head and say it (you a rappin' ass nigga)
    Yessur!

    My nigga close your eyes,
    Just picture you're self just holdin' pies
    Implement a plan and and you'll surely rise
    Just promised by the man that controls the skies
    Don't you see, I know that shit's so ill
    Better yet, dawg, just tell me how you feel
    How you feel dawg?

    We just picture thinking, dreaming, scheming, breathing, reading, all in the late night
    Shaking, boiling, lacing, bake it, shaping, shaving, gotta get this cake right

    My nigga how does it feel?
    Ha ha! Yessur!

    How Does It Feel?
  • Pharrell Williams was riding high as a producer in the mid 2000s, providing hit singles for the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ludacris, and Beyoncé. However, his debut solo album, a braggadocious rap record titled In My Mind, was a commercial disappointment. Reflecting back on this track during a 2014 interview with GQ magazine, Williams admitted his life at the time was without purpose. "That wasn't joy," he said. "That was just bragging. I wanted to be like Jay. I wanted to be like Puff. Those are their paths. I got my own path. But I didn't know what my path was. I knew that I was meant to do something different. I knew that I needed to inject purpose in my music. And I thought that was my path. I didn't realize that like, from '08 up until now was like, training. Like, keep putting purpose in everything you do. Don't worry about it; just put purpose in there."

    Jessie's Girl Lyrics


    Jessie is a friend,
    Yeah I know he's been a good friend of mine
    But lately something's changed
    It ain't hard to define
    Jessie's got himself a girl
    And I want to make her mine
    And she's watching him with those eyes
    And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
    And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

    You know I wish that I had Jessie's Girl
    I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    Why can't I find a woman like that

    I'll play along with this charade
    That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
    You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
    I want to tell her that I love but the point is probably moot
    'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
    And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
    And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

    You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    Why can't I find a woman like that?

    Like Jessie's girl
    I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    Why can't I find a woman
    Why can't I find a woman like that

    And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
    Wonderin' what she don't see in me
    I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
    Ain't that the way love's supposed to be
    Tell me why can't I find a woman like that

    You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    Why can't I find a woman like that?
    Like Jessie's girl

    I wish that I had Jessie's girl
    I want, I want Jessie's girl

    Jessie's Girl
  • Who is Jessie's girl? We may never know, but in our interview with Rick Springfield , he told us the story. Said Rick: "I don't know her name. It was a brief relationship I had when I was making stained glass for a while. I was going to a stained glass class in Pasadena, and I met this guy and his girlfriend. I was completely turned on to his girlfriend, but she was just not interested. So I had a lot of sexual angst, and I went home and wrote a song about it. Then about 4 months later I stopped going to the class and lost contact with them. The only thing I remember is his name was Gary, so I changed the name, because 'Gary' didn't sing very well. But the whole thing is absolutely what I was feeling. He was getting it and I wasn't, and it was really tearing me up. And sexual angst is an amazing motivator to write a song. Actually, Oprah's people tried to find her, and they got as far back as finding the stained glass guy. I couldn't remember his name, but I said it was late '70s; they found him, and he had died 2 years earlier, and they'd thrown all his papers out a year after that. So we missed finding out who she was by a year."
  • This was Springfield's second Top 20 hit (the first being "Speak To The Sky" in 1971) and it was his only #1, where it stayed for two weeks in August, 1981. The popularity of the song and album that summer was bolstered by the fact that Springfield, also an actor, had landed the role of Dr. Noah Drake on the soap opera General Hospital earlier that spring. Springfield began acting in the mid-'70s when his music career had stalled and his then-girlfriend, actress Linda Blair, suggested he try it.

    Speaking of Linda Blair, when Springfield and Blair were dating, Blair was just 15 years old while Springfield was 25. They only lived together for one year, and according to an interview on VH1's Behind the Music, Blair said, "He's someone I'll always love" while Springfield says that of all his former girlfriends, Blair is the only one he remains friends with. Remember that this was 1974, when standards were a little more relaxed, and median age of consent for most of Springfield's native country of Australia is 16. (thanks, Dawn - Highlands Ranch, CO)
  • Spingfield's take on relationships: "We’re clueless. Desperately clueless. Everybody is on relationships. Truly, I remember being a jerk because I thought that’s what girls wanted. You only really learn about women when you get into a long relationship, unless you got a really great dad – a really clued-in father – or a really open mom."
  • This was the #1 song in the United States when MTV launched on August 1, 1981. The video became a favorite on the fledgling network, as the photogenic Springfield starred in a well-produced promo where he used his acting skills to portray his angst.

    Springfield says it's his only video where he took creative control, storyboarding it himself. The scene where he smashes the mirror remains an iconic clip; it was the most expensive part of the video, since Rick estimates that went through 24 mirrors.
  • In the category of weird covers, this song was covered by The Chipmunks, using the same instrumental backing track, no less. Check out their 1982 album Chipmunk Rock if you just have to have it.
  • This song was used in the movie 13 Going On 30 starring Jennifer Garner. (thanks, Julian - Anaheim, CA)
