💿 [SONG INFO]

"You Never Can Tell", also known as "C'est La Vie" or "Teenage Wedding", is a song written by Chuck Berry.
It was composed in the early 1960s while Berry was in federal prison for violating the Mann Act. Released in 1964 on the album St. Louis to Liverpool and the follow-up single to Berry's final Top Ten hit of the 1960s: "No Particular Place to Go", "You Never Can Tell" reached number 14, becoming Berry's final Top 40 hit until "My Ding-a-Ling", a number 1 in October 1972.
The song performed slightly better in Canada, and also reached the Top 40 in the United Kingdom.

Berry's recording features an iconic piano hook played by Johnnie Johnson.

Description

The song tells of the wedding of two teenagers and their lifestyle afterward.
Living in a modest apartment furnished with items bought on sale at Sears, Roebuck, and Co., including a Coolerator brand refrigerator, the young man finds work and they begin to enjoy relative prosperity. Eventually, they purchase a "souped-up jitney" and travel to New Orleans, where their wedding had taken place, to celebrate their anniversary.
Each verse ends with the refrain, "'C'est la vie,' say the old folks, 'it goes to show you never can tell.'" The piano melody was influenced by Mitchell Torok's 1953 hit "Caribbean".

Pulp Fiction

The song became popular again after the 1994 release of the film Pulp Fiction, directed and co-written by Quentin Tarantino.
The music was played for a "Twist contest" in which Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) competed (and were the only contestants shown in the film).

Other versions

1975 John Prine
1975 Loggins and Messina
1977 Emmylou Harris
1980 Daddy Cool
1993 Aaron Neville
1994 Bob Seger
2019 Jerry Garcia Band
The song has also been recorded or performed by Chely Wright, New Riders of the Purple Sage, the Jerry Garcia Band, Bruce Springsteen, the Mavericks, Coldplay and Buster Shuffle.
