Songfacts®:

This song is about how every time lead singer Sully Erna goes to New Orleans (touring with Godsmack), he would get sick. Supposedly, in his previous life, Sully was killed in the city of New Orleans, and in his current life, "Evil Spirits" come and haunt him every time he visits New Orleans, making him sick and disturbed. In the fall of 2002, a few months before he and Godsmack performed at the 2003 Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans on Halloween Night, he saw a psychic that helped him understand how to fight off these spirits. This problem may explain why Godsmack doesn't go to New Orleans so often when they tour, despite the huge fan base they have in the city. >>>

Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganYeah, that solo is killer. Tony should lay off the wah pedal once in a while. Poor Kirk Hammett gets flack for over using it but Tony uses it way more. It's kind of his signature sound though and he's still awesome, but he also sounds great when he doesn't use it, like in this solo. Another awesome song by the Boston 'Smackers!
Zero from Nowhere, NjSully plays rhythm guitar on live versions of this song.
Zero from Nowhere, NjThe first time I heard that guitar solo, my jaw hit the floor! Sounds great acoustic too!
Kayla from Oklahoma City, OkLike I said before - Jeff, Godsmack has 53 songs.
This song is great! One of my favorite Godsmack songs, to tell te truth.
Mark from New Orleans, LaI think it's probably some sort of sinus problem. The balmy air in New Orleans will bring out any kind of sinus issue. My brother had huge sinus issues when he lived in New Orleans. When he moved to Texas, they went away.
Jaxx from Manchester, Nhits cause new orleans has the good h
Jeff from Helena, MtHow many songs does godsmack have? Exactly
Jeff from Helena, Mtwhy doesnt godsmack ever come to montana?
Nick from Paramus, NjThat solo is one of the best Tony has done with Godsmack, and he doesn't even use the wah-wah!

Disco LadyJohnnie Taylor

The first #1 hit with the word "disco" in the title wasn't a disco song. It was an R&B song called "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor in 1976. The lady he's singing about is disco, but the song isn't.

YesterdayThe Beatles

The melody to "Yesterday" came to Paul McCartney in a dream, but the lyrics he had to write consciously. His first attempt at the title was "Scrabble Eggs."

Crazy In LoveBeyoncé

Jay-Z did the rap on Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" at the last minute. They had just started dating; she asked him to feature on the track the night before she had to turn in her album.

The first version of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" was a 27-minute jam, so you can imagine what Ringo was going through pounding away on drums. To convince the guys he needed a break, he screamed, "I've got blisters on my fingers!" This was included on the fadeout.

Thinking About YouCalvin Harris

"Thinking About You" was the ninth track from Calvin Harris' 18 Months album to enter the UK singles Top 10. No other artist has obtained so many hits from one LP - Michael Jackson was the previous record holder with seven Top 10 tunes from both his Bad and Dangerous sets.

I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin'" is based on a '60s song with the same title written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
