"Along comes Mary" werd door verschillende Amerikaanse radiostations geweigerd, omdat door sommigen werd aangenomen dat "Mary" op de drug marihuana. Het was de enige Top 40-notering voor de groep en de song kwam niet hoger dan een schamele 34e plaats.

Trivia

Wist je dat? The Association is een Amerikaanse popgroep uit Los Angeles. Ze waren eind jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw populair. Hun bekendste nummers zijn "Along comes Mary," "Cherish", "Windy" en "Never my love". Aanvankelijk wilden ze zich The Aristocrats noemen, maar toen Terry's vrouw Judy de betekenis van dat woord wilde opzoeken, vond ze op dezelfde pagina in het woordenboek het woord Association. Uiteindelijk werd dat de nieuwe bandnaam. De groep brak in 1966 door met de single "Along comes Mary". The Association treedt nog steeds op.

Songtekst

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me


And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees


When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch


When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today


And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same


When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch


And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars


And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more


When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
