Just Like Honey

"Just Like Honey" is a song by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain from their 1985 debut album Psychocandy.

Drummer Bobby Gillespie quotes Hal Blaine's opening drum riff from The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" in the song's intro.

[7] The song has appeared in several films, most notably in the closing scene of Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003), as well as The Man Who Loved Yngve and a 2011 Volkswagen advertisement.

[9] In 2015, Pitchfork placed it at number 46 on their list of the 200 best songs of the 1980s, with T. Cole Rachel calling it "a classic bad boy love song—a reverby [sic] dose of Phil Spector grandiosity that sounds as if it might have been recorded in a smoky cave.

"[4] In a retrospective review of Psychocandy, Ned Raggett of AllMusic praised "Just Like Honey" as "weirdly beautiful" and "anti-pop yet pure pop at the same time".
