Set On You: A witty, addictive, chemistry filled rom-com

Product Information

Did you ever see that old film of The Beatles in New York in 1964 that Maysles made? It’s been around for years and there’s scenes of us coming into New York City. And there’s a scene in the Plaza Hotel and Murray the K ’s there. During that, we’re on the telephone to Murray the K’s station. And he’s asking us for requests. And you can see in that film, I say, ‘Have you got a record called Got My Mind Set On You by James Ray?’ The second video received significant airplay and was nominated for three MTV VMAs. [7] Personnel [ edit ] This brings me to the main message of the book. Self-respect and self-understanding… self-acceptance. That is the goal. Period. 1000% Curvy fitness influencer Crystal Chen built her career by breaking with gym stereotypes and largely ignoring trolls. With little energy left for men after her recent breakup, she instead finds solace in the gym, her place of strength and positivity. The lead single from the album, ‘Got My Mind Set On You’ was released on 12 October 1987. ‘Lay His Head’, a leftover from the Somewhere In England album, was on the b-side. A 12″ vinyl single also contained an extended mix of ‘Got My Mind Set On You’.

RPM 100 Singles (January 16, 1988)". Library and Archives Canada. July 17, 2013 . Retrieved August 24, 2018. Talking to Musician, Harrison said that he decided to record “Got My Mind Set On You” because Keltner came up with a beat that sounded like swing. The keyboardist Gary Wright had commented that it sounded a bit like “Got My Mind Set On You.” (Wright had been playing on Harrison’s records since All Things Must Pass. As a solo artist, Wright’s two biggest hits, 1976’s “Dream Weaver” and “Love Is Alive,” both peaked at #2. “ Dream Weaver” is a 9, and “ Love Is Alive” is an 8.) Harrison couldn’t believe that anyone else remembered the song. Got My Mind Set On You” is a deeply simple song, and there’s not a ton of meaning to it. Harrison’s narrator wants to get with someone, and he’s willing to spend both money and time to “do it right.” Harrison doesn’t sound like he’s in the throes of infatuation, though. He sounds like exactly what he is: a fantastically successful 44-year-old man singing a song that he liked when he was a kid. There’s charm in that, and a lot of that charm is just George Harrison. He’s an easy guy to like. Everyone sees beauty differently. What’s worse, that same society taught us as little girls that we’re not beautiful because we’re not white and skinny. Set on You is the best kind of workout: one that ups your heart rate with its swoony hero, makes you sweat with its slow-burn tension, and leaves you satisfied with its themes of empowerment and self-acceptance. With a fresh, hilarious voice and a deeply relatable protagonist, this romantic comedy is enemies-to-lovers gold.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, national bestselling author of The Ex Talk

Harrison's version of the song was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic on his 1988 album Even Worse, as "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" poking fun at the repetitive nature of the lyrics. Eric from Bend, OrTo the people who have asked why the song mentions money, I've always thought this song was about having his mind set on a woman, and money is needed for things like taking her out to dinner, buying her gifts, etc., and if he wants to marry her, it will take money to buy her a ring and pay for the wedding, as well as buying a house with her. Steven from Henderson, NvGeorge didn't write this song but it's obvious to me he chose it for the main lyric: "Got my mind set on you (Krishna). Does anyone remember that on the TV series VEGAS with James Caan, a band played "Got My Mind Set On You," while marching through the Montecito Casino at the end of an episode.
