Jimmy Boyd (January 9, 1939 – March 7, 2009) was an American singer, musician, and actor. He was known for his recording of the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".
Early years
James Boyd was born near McComb, Mississippi to Leslie and Winnie Boyd. His father was a farmer and picked cotton to help support his own family of 21 brothers and sisters. When Jimmy Boyd was two years old, his father put his wife and their two sons on a train to Riverside, California. With not enough money to buy tickets for himself, Leslie Boyd hitchhiked on freight trains to join his family.
Jimmy Boyd's grandfather, William Boyd ("Fiddler Bill") played at dances and family gatherings in Mississippi. Fiddler Bill's children all sang or played musical instruments. Leslie played guitar and harmonica and began teaching Jimmy to play the guitar at nine years old. Leslie had been a farmer when a drought hit and there were no more crops, so he picked cotton. He could pick over 600 pounds of cotton a day himself, and was paid 25 cents. Although there was no cotton in California to pick, this time they were determined to stay. Leslie got a menial job cleaning up construction sites, quickly becoming an accomplished finish carpenter.
Born in Glasgow, Boyd began his career with junior side Petershill before turning senior with Edinburgh side St Bernards. He joined Newcastle United in 1925 and stayed there for ten years, making 214 appearances and scoring 64 goals for the Magpies. During this period he helped his side win the FA Cup in 1932 and earned one cap for Scotland, in 1934.
"How Come" is a song by the American rap group D12. It was released in June 2004 as the second single from their second album D12 World. The song was certified Gold by the RIAA.
Content
The song is about the tenuous relationship between the members of D12, for the most part Proof and Eminem.
Music video
The video depicts members of D12 fighting with Eminem in the Shady Records studio. It shows a detailed strain on the members relationships. They discuss how Eminem rose to stardom, and they can't get a deal. They envy Eminem, but he doesn't think there is anything to envy, the song ends, leaving people wondering, with the members dissatisfied. In the second verse of the song, Kon Artis talks about a time when he claims to have seen Eminem's girlfriend Kim cheating on him. The video ends with a clip of another song from D12 World, "Git Up". The beginning also shows a home video of Eminem rapping at an underground show with Proof and Bizarre.
Track listing
^ This is an extended version of the song, containing Swifty McVay and Bizarre's verses, which were cut off the album version.
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn play hooky from school and have a plan to revive a dead cat with the spirit of a man named Hoss Williams who is on his death bed. Sawyer and Finn talk with Muff Potter, the town drunk, but are interrupted when Injun Joe says that Doc Robinson wants to see them. Muff and Joe meet Robinson and he informs them that they have a job to dig the grave of Williams. Joe is angry that Robinson didn't fix his leg correctly. Meanwhile, Tom continues to skip school and comes up with fantastic stories about why he's not home for dinner, where he tricks the children of the town to do his punishment chores for him.
How Come is a song co-written by Ronnie Lane and Kevin Westlake, and recorded by Lane as his first single in 1973 after he left The Faces. Featuring a band of constantly changing personnel called Slim Chance, including Benny Gallagher and Graham Lyle, who later had considerable success as a performing and songwriting duo in their own right, it reached No. 11 in the UK.
Gallagher played piano accordion and Lyle mandolin on the A-side, both also contributing back-up vocals. "Done This One Before", on the B-side, featured Gallagher on Hammond organ and Lyle on harmonica.
In 1996 the song was used as the first track of The Pogues seventh and last studio album Pogue Mahone.
When Stinson did not seek a second term in the House 1943 because of his military commitment, Boyd succeeded him and won a second term by seventy-seven votes in the 1947 primary election over Herman "Wimpy" Jones, a restaurateur from Bossier City and Minden in neighboring Webster Parish. Jones rebounded in 1956 to serve a single term in the Louisiana State Senate for Bossier and Webster parishes with his narrow victory over Harold Montgomery, a businessman from Doyline in southwestern Webster Parish.

How come you always wind up changing your direction? How come you always end up dancing through the room? How come you always never wanna use protection? How come you're floating like a helium balloon? I can't keep up You're moving too fast I got to know Is this gonna last? Coz I can't tell whether you're up or you're down This whole situation is spinning me round Spinning me round Spinning me round How come you always end up changing your intentions? How ocme you always wind up blowing hot and cold? One minute honest then you're full of false pretension Head in the clouds but still you're desperate to control, to control I just don't know what to believe You build me and then you bring me down on my knees You say you want me Then you're up and you're gone I got to know just where you're coming from Coming from, where you're coming from I got to know before it's over One way or the other If you're stringing me along I can't keep up You're moving too fast I got to know Is this gonna last? Coz I can't tell whether you're up or you're down This whole situation is spinning me round Spinning me round Spinning me round How come? How come?
