On this day in 1985, The Jesus and Mary Chain released "Just Like Honey" - the third single from their brilliant debut studio album “Psychocandy”.
The song has appeared in several films, most notably in the closing scene of 2003's Lost in Translation, as well as 2008's The Man Who Loved Yngve and a 2011 Volkswagen advertisement campaign. The track also features in "Mommy", the third episode of American Horror Story: Hotel, in which Angela Bassett's character Ramona Royale makes her first appearance. The beginning of the song uses the opening drum riff of The Ronettes' "Be My Baby".
Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good
Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you
I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
