3) Mickey is also a Belgium Disco Producer, his bio on soundcloud:
At an early age Mickey already got hooked to the more interesting sounds of the 60’, 70’s and 80’s, never losing track of all the hot music that is being released today. Some 10 years ago he decided to start producing his own sounds and this soon led to his first release on Relish Records. Being charted by The Magician in his ‘Magictapes’ has helped put the spotlight on Mickey in recent years. DJ bookings over Belgium and beyond followed, highlights being gigs in New York (Nouveau York Party), Hollywood (Dim Mak Studio), China & Australia, whilst landing a Belgian residency at Libertine Supersport club in Brussels.
As a producer Mickey has fast become a force of his own. Playing all instruments himself Mickey has already done some song writing for other bands and continues to grow as a producer. After his first E.P. he surprised the world with killer remixes for Housse de Racket on Kitsune, Headman, Tyson & Beni (on Modular). Recently he released an E.P. on the influential Belgian Smile Recordings label and he is already working on a follow-up for that one. Both as a producer and as a DJ Mickey’s sound is a combination of house, pop, disco and a lot more. Mickey, a sound you need to discover!

I'll Be There
Mickey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll Be Doggone if I would bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around,
blowing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone.
Then I wouldn't be doggone (Baby!)
I'd be long gone. mm mm
I'll be Doggone if you ain't a pretty thing
And I'll be Doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred year old,
if you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone.
Oh, I wouldn't be doggone (Baby)
I'd be long gone. mm mm
Now, did you hear me?
Well, now, what I say oh, believe me.
Well, ev'ry woman should try to be whatever her man wants her to be.
And I don't want much, all I want from you is for you to be true to me.
I'll be Doggone if love ain't a man's best friend
Oh, baby, And I'll Be Doggone if you ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like nobody could,
if I ever found out that you're no good
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Well, I wouldn't be doggone (Baby!)
I'd be long gone.
I wouldn't be doggone
(gonna catch me a train)
Naw, baby, I wouldn't be doggone
I wouldn't be doggone
(gonna catch me a plane)
Mickey's song "I'll Be There" features a man professing his love for his woman but emphasizing his expectations of her fidelity and devotion. The song has a catchy and upbeat melody, which juxtaposes the serious nature of the lyrics. In the first verse, the man declares that he wouldn't work all day to bring her his pay, only to have her squander it around town with other men. He warns that he would be "long gone" if that were ever to happen.
In the second verse, he acknowledges her beauty and warmth and promises to be with her for life if she remains true to him. The chorus reiterates his ultimatum, stating that he wouldn't stick around if she ever turns cold towards him. In the final verse, he announces that love is a man's best friend, and his woman is the "loving end" for him. He cautions that he would leave her if he ever finds out that she is not good to him.
Throughout the song, the man represents the traditional expectations of a man from his woman, which is to remain loyal and devoted. He also expects her to be what he wants her to be, which reinforces the patriarchal norms of the time. However, this can also be seen as an expression of his vulnerability and fear of being hurt.
