2.Ricochet is a country band from Oklahoma best known for their #1 hit "Daddy's Money" (1996).
Ricochet emerged in the spring of 1996 to become one of the most successful new country groups, spending the better part of the year in the Top 40 of the country charts. The band formed in 1993, when drummer Jeff Bryant invited singer/guitarist Heath Wright to join his group Lariat, which also featured Bryant's brother Junior (fiddle/mandolin). Lariat disbanded soon after Wright joined, but he and the Bryants decided to try again under the name Ricochet. They held auditions to complete the band, and several members floated through it in the ensuing months. By the beginning of 1994, the final lineup had fallen into place with the addition of Greg Cook (bass, backing vocals), Teddy Carr (steel guitar), and Eddie Kilgallon (keyboards, rhythm guitar, saxophone, backing vocals). For the next two years, Ricochet toured the South and the West Coast, building up a fan base and developing its energetic, edgy neo-traditional sound. They often spent their downtime rehearsing and writing songs.
The group's original manager was friends with record producer Ron Chancey, who was known for his work with the Oak Ridge Boys. Chancey heard the group and arranged for them to cut a demo. He directed the tape to his son Blake, A&R director for Columbia Records in Nashville. After hearing Ricochet live, Blake Chancey and a handful of other Columbia executives decided to sign the band to a development deal under the direction of producer Ed Seay (Martina McBride, Collin Raye). In early 1995, the deal turned into a full-fledged record contract, and during the spring, the group recorded their first album. For the rest year, they toured the country as a supporting act for Merle Haggard, Doug Stone, and Charlie Daniels.
Ricochet's eponymous debut album, produced by Ron Chancey and Ed Seay, was released in early 1996. Preceded by the Top Five hit single "What Do I Know," the album was a hit and stayed on the charts for more than a year as "Daddy's Money" hit number one and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" reached the Top Ten. The follow-up album, Blink of an Eye, was released the very next year, but it was a commercial disappointment, even though it produced three minor chart singles. Ricochet charted modestly with another three songs in 1998-1999, tracks intended for an album to be called What a Ride that was not released. In the meantime, the band underwent personnel changes. Jeff Bryant, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, left the drum chair, succeeded by Tim Chewning in August 1999, and Shannon Farmer replaced Teddy Carr on steel guitar. Meanwhile, Richochet retooled its third album, finally releasing it in September 2000 as What You Leave Behind.
3. . (NWOBHM quartet) RICOCHET
The band’s sole release during their life-time was the excellent “Midas Light” 7” single, released in 1980.
The single was recorded at Ginger Studios, Aldridge (where WITCHFINDER GENERAL recorded “Burning A Sinner”), and released as a “double B-side” with the nowhere-near-as-good flip-side, “Off The Rails”.
Just 500 copies of the single were pressed, most of which were sold at their gigs.
Later that year Ricochet toured Germany.
At the end of the tour bassist “The Finn” opted to stay on in Germany.
The other three members returned to England and formed a brand new band called THE CANERS.
“The Finn” went on to form a new band called DAMIEN, who got a German record deal.
Over the years “Midas Light” became a highly regarded classic NWOBHM single, much sought after by collectors.
Ricochet got back together for 2 weeks in 2000 and re-recorded “Midas Light” in a Coventry studio, together with some other tracks.
These tracks were made available on CD through the band’s website, as the six song “Midas Light” mini-album.
However the band members then went their seperate ways again.
In 2005 “The Finn” was managing a music festival in Northampton, where he arranged for Ricochet to make a guest appearance.
They played “Midas Light”, “Dreadnought” and “Off The Rails”, and went down a storm.
In 2010 the band members converged to live on the outskirts of Birmingham, for the first time in 30 years.
After meeting up for a beer it transpired that they all missed the Ricochet times and decided to give it one more throw of the dice.
The revived band have recorded a new single, “The Blue Eyed Beggar & The Teenage Captain”, and are reportedly working on a full length album.

11. New wave / post-punk band from Japan. Released an EP record in 1985 under Zero Records and Toypick.
12. Hard Rock band from Germany.

The Girl Formerly Known as Mine
Ricochet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She passes by, they're at a loss for words
There ain't one man in the room
Who wouldn't promise her the moon
For just one kiss, they wanna know who she is
She's the girl formerly known as mine
'Cause I didn't take the time, and I didn't walk the line
As it's turning away with the girl, formerly known as mine
She acts like she don't have a care
New dress, new color in her hair
Shining with a different light
Her life is nothing like the way we were
And it sure looks good on her
She's the girl formerly known as mine
'Cause I didn't take the time, and I didn't walk the line
I'm the guy watching my whole world
As it's turning away with the girl, formerly known as mine
Oh, it breaks my heart, watching my whole world
As it's turning away with the girl, formerly known as mine
The song "The Girl Formerly Known as Mine" by Ricochet is about a man who sees his ex-girlfriend in a room full of people, and he notices how she has moved on from their relationship. She walks in, and everyone's attention is on her, and they're all impressed by her beauty. The singer realizes that he didn't take the time to appreciate her while they were together, and he didn't walk the line to keep her in his life. He sees her shining in a different light, with a new dress and a new color in her hair. Her life seems to be going well, and it's nothing like the way they were when they were together.
The man is heartbroken because he sees his whole world turning away with the girl formerly known as his. He knows that he missed his chance with her, and now she's moved on to a new life without him. He watches as she walks away, and he knows that she's no longer his to hold. The song emphasizes the importance of treasuring love while you have it, because once it's gone, it's difficult to get it back.
Overall, "The Girl Formerly Known as Mine" is a poignant reminder to appreciate the people you love before they slip away. It's a bittersweet song about lost love and regret, and it's a relatable song for anyone who has ever let someone special slip away.

She walks in, every eye's on her
As she enters, she grabs everyone's attention
She passes by, they're at a loss for words
She moves and they become speechless
There ain't one man in the room Who wouldn't promise her the moon
Every man in the room would go above and beyond to impress her
For just one kiss, they wanna know who she is
With a single gesture, she causes a commotion and everyone wants to know more about her
She's the girl formerly known as mine
She used to be mine, but not anymore
'Cause I didn't take the time, and I didn't walk the line
I didn't pay enough attention to her and didn't keep my promises
I'm the guy watching my whole world
As I observe, my whole world is changing
As it's turning away with the girl, formerly known as mine
Everything is changing, and she is no longer mine
She acts like she don't have a care
She appears carefree
New dress, new color in her hair
She has changed her appearance
Shining with a different light
She radiates differently
Her life is nothing like the way we were
She has moved on with her life and is far from the way things used to be between us
And it sure looks good on her
She is doing well and it shows in the way she carries herself
Oh, it breaks my heart, watching my whole world
It's difficult to see everything changing
As it's turning away with the girl, formerly known as mine
Especially when she is no longer mine
