Sometime in January 1964, Chuck Berry recorded "You Never Can Tell."
The actual day? I haven't any idea.
You Never Can Tell (song)
US single picture sleeve
Single by Chuck Berry from the album St. Louis to Liverpool
B-side: "Brenda Lee"
Released: August 1964
Recorded: January 1964
Studio: Chess (Chicago)
"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.

The best-known version has to be the one from "Pulp Fiction":

I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.
