Soft Machine are an English progressive rock band from Canterbury, named after the book The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs. They were one of the central bands in the Canterbury scene, and helped pioneer the progressive rock genre. Though they achieved little commercial success, they are considered by AllMusic to be "one of the more influential bands of their era, and certainly one of the most influential underground ones."
Soft Machine (billed as The Soft Machine up to 1969 or 1970) were formed in mid-1966 by Robert Wyatt (drums, vocals), Kevin Ayers (bass, guitar, vocals), Daevid Allen (guitar) and Mike Ratledge (organ) plus, for the first few gigs only, American guitarist Larry Nowlin. Allen, Wyatt and future bassist Hugh Hopper had first played together in the Daevid Allen Trio in 1963, occasionally accompanied by Ratledge. Wyatt, Ayers and Hopper had been founding members of The Wilde Flowers, later incarnations of which would include future members of another Canterbury band, Caravan.
The Soft Machine is a novel by William Burroughs published in 1961.

Soft Machine is the fifth studio album by Teddybears, released on 12 September 2006 on Big Beat Recordings and Columbia Records. It is the first album the band released under the name "Teddybears", as they had previously been Teddybears STHLM. Excluding "Intro", "Riot Going On" is the only new song from the group. The rest are reproductions of tracks found on their previous albums Fresh and Rock 'n' Roll Highschool, with "Throw Your Hands Up" renamed "Are You Feelin' It?".
The Hartford circus fire, which occurred on July 6, 1944, in Hartford, Connecticut, was one of the worst fire disasters in the history of the United States. The fire occurred during an afternoon performance of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus that was attended by 6,000 to 8,000 people. 167 people died and more than 700 were injured.
In mid-20th century America, a typical circus traveled from town to town by train, performing under a huge canvas tent commonly called a "big top". The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was no exception: what made it stand out was that it was the largest circus in the country. Its big top could seat 9,000 spectators around its three rings; the tent's canvas had been coated with 1,800 pounds (820 kg) of paraffin wax dissolved in 6,000 US gallons (23,000 l) of gasoline, a common waterproofing method of the time.
The circus had been experiencing shortages of personnel and equipment as a result of the United States' involvement in World War II. Delays and malfunctions in the ordinarily smooth order of the circus had become commonplace; on August 4, 1942, a fire had broken out in the menagerie, killing a number of animals. When the circus arrived in Hartford, Connecticut, on July 5, 1944, the trains were so late that one of the two shows scheduled for that day had been canceled. In circus superstition, missing a show is considered extremely bad luck, and although the July 5 evening show ran as planned, many circus employees may have been on their guard, half-expecting an emergency or catastrophe.
"Little Miss" is a song written and recorded by Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, of the American country music duo Sugarland. It was released in November 2010 as the second single from album The Incredible Machine. Before the album's release, the song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 80, due to digital downloads. It has also reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The song was featured in the pilot of The CW TV series Hart of Dixie.
Blake Boldt of Engine 145 gave the song a thumbs up, saying "There’s hope and heart and a whole lot to like about this, one of the year’s best singles and an odd bright spot on Sugarland’s ambitious fourth album. The Incredible Machine may be an unruly mess, but "Little Miss" is a hit." Mark Erickson of Roughstock was also favorable of the song, giving the song four stars, saying "The melody is inviting and the lyrics are some of the duo’s best of the album". Although he was in very critical of the album altogether, Jonathan Keefe with Slant Magazine was high praise of the song, calling the "album's best song; [it's] the only one that even hints at Sugarland's roots as a country act [...] it's also the most restrained cut on the album in terms of both its production and performance makes it an obvious standout, but it's a strong enough song that it can stand on its own merits." Sarah Rodman with The Boston Globe called it an "amiable shuffle", saying it "fit squarely in the country pop arena."

I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you
You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
I've got lights in my brain, girl
We'll have fights in the rain, girl
You'll be good/bad together
Writing songs and call that the weather
If you've got something to sing me
Four o'clock's the best time to ring me
You're the sweetest thing I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
I've got something to tell you
Hold on, I wanted to thrill you
It's nice, makes you feel better
It's called a Lullabye Letter
Hold tight, I'm not trying to con you
Get ready, I'm going to lay it on you
You're the strangest scene I see
I'm telling you it's no lie
