edna Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 "Every Morning"Sugar Ray Written by Sugar Ray and David Kahne. A track from his 1999 album, "14.59".The single was released as the first single, reaching #1 on Billboard Hot Rock Modern chart, made # 1 in Canada singles chart and #3 on Billboard Hot 100 by 1999.It aldo made # 2 in the UK.Wikipedia says: "The chorus of the song samples "Suavecito" by the Chicano music group Malo, as well as High Masekela' s 1968 hit "Grazing in the Grass". Mark McGrath explained to MTV News, "We referenced 'Suavecito' because growing up in California, you know, that was just like the low rider anthem. Any car show or swap meet you'd ever go by, you'd always hear that [song] and that just stuck in your mind." He added, "We actually came up with that part, and it was very similar to Malo's part. We were sort of imitating it, and then we said, 'Let's just leave it, we're gonna change it later.' It really makes the song – we think – so we just left it."
