I'll Be Back

Rating:

Words & Music: Sid Wayne/ Ben Weisman

All right

Well I'll be back, Yeah! I'll be back
Like a homesick train on a one-way track
I got to travel and hit the gravel
But I'll be back, Yeah! I'll be back

Yeah! I'll return, I shall return
Don't cool those lips, we're gonna see 'em burn
'Cause I'll be missin' your kinda kissin'
But I'll be back, Yeah, I'll be back

Yeah! There ain't nobody tell me stay or go, oh no
And no-one tells the four winds where to blow-ow-ow
I'll be back, I'm comin' back
Don't throw away that welcome mat
The door I'm hopin' will still be open a teeny weenie crack
To your shack
So keep that love light burnin', I'll be back

Yeah! There ain't nobody tell me stay or go, oh no
And no-one tells the four winds where to blow-ow-ow
I'll be back, I'm comin' back
Don't throw away that welcome mat
The door I'm hopin' will still be open a teeny weenie crack
To your shack
So keep that love light burnin', I'll be back
Yeah, I'll be back

Recorded: 1966/02/17, first released on Spinout

I also like this song, including the movie version with the extra drum solo at the end. Could make a nice remix.

A fun song and one of the better from the Spinout soundtrack. It would have been a better single as the title song Spinout, as it sticks into your head after listening to it after one time. Three stars from me.

I'll Remember You and All That I Am remain my favourite tracks from the iffy California Holiday soundtrack. This particular song is well down the list in comparison. But having said this, the song isn't too bad at all and merits more than zero marks.

The best song from Spinout and the probably the best movie song from 1965-1967. Should have been a single. Little known and could be a hit yet today with the right remix & promotion.

I can easily imagine singers like Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett singing this type of number.The song is not that bad really but whether it was suitable for Elvis I remain unsure. Of course suitability never was an issue with these writers.

A fine uptempo number used as the finale of the movie "Spinout" (1966). RCA and Colonel Parker thought enough of this song to send a promotional copy to Academy Awards with hopes of it being recognized as an Oscar winning song. It wasn't to be however. This song is one those happy songs that like many of his movie finale songs, that gets stuck in your head after you watch the movie. Along the lines of with "Didja Ever" from "G.I. Blues", "Happy Ending" from "It Happened At The World's Fair" and "There's A Brand New Day On The Horizon" from "Roustabout" Just plain fun.
