1) Smile is an Orange County… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists named Smile:
1) Smile is an Orange County, CA-based indie-rock band. (http://thebandsmile.com) They released several albums on several different labels with several different lineups, united by singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Rosas. The band began as a sludgy grunge project on Atlantic records, but bounced to San Diego-based Cargo with a poppier sound. Their 1998 album "Girl Crushes Boy" earned critical-acclaim in Southern California, and was often-cited by alternative paper OC Weekly as one of the best albums ever to come out of Orange County. Smile reunited in 2013.

Scott Reeder (drums)
Aaron Sonnenberg (bass)
2) Smile was formed in the late 60's, and was made up of Queen members; Brian May and Roger Taylor, and a long time friend Tim Staffell. The band recorded but never released one single, titled "Earth" (b-side "Step On Me"), and posthumously released two albums. Smile later turned into Queen when Staffell left, Freddie Mercury joined, and the 3 of them found John Deacon. Their song "Doin' Alright" was later recorded by Queen for their first album as "Doing All Right".
Staffell and May met in 1964 and, together with several mutual friends, formed a band that they would call "1984". 1984, in May's words, was "purely an amateur band, formed at school, although perhaps at the end we once got fifteen quid or something. We never really played anything significant in the way of original material". (Brian May, The Guitar Greats, 1983).
For four years, the band did little in the way of recording, playing cover songs at sporadic gigs while the bandmembers focused on their schooling. May would leave the band in 1968 to focus on his BSc exams and would be accepted to study for a phD in astrophysics at renowned Imperial College.
(A degree that May would finally obtain forty years later.)
Though he was a diligent student, May desperately wanted to continue to play his guitar, so he and Staffell decided later that year to start fresh with a new band. "Smile" would be the chosen name of this new venture, and May would post an advert on the student message board: "Brilliant Drummer wanted for Heavy Guitar band - must be able to play like Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon."
A student at Imperial saw the posting and immediately told his roommate, a London Hospital medical school student by the name of Roger Taylor. Though enrolled for a dentistry degree, music was Taylor's first passion and he immediately responded to the advertisement.
May later recalled: "I went to the Imperial jazz room, which I'd booked for the evening, and Roger was there already, hitting the skins, fiddling around, turning knobs. I said, 'What're you doing?' He said, 'I'm tuning them.' I'd never seen a drummer do that before! I was impressed. He'd got great energy, but was very neat too, particularly with the snare drum: he'd do these ththththrump things which started very cleanly and precisely on time. Immediately, the sound of my guitar and his drums had that hugeness. We hit it off like brothers too..."
Smile would achieve moderate success during their brief existence, recording several original songs that May and Staffell had written.

Smile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we going out tonight
Yeah
He asks, like he don't
Already know, alright
That's why my boy is dangerous
That's why my boy makes me
Nervous
Your shining armour
And I see you for who you are
Mon amour
And I know he knows
What nobody else knows
And he knows I know
What he knows I know
We were young
We was just kids
Finna live fast and gain
Them experiences
When we was in the club
It's like we was in the gym
We lined up the shots
And did reps of ten
Got the devil and his homies
Off our shoulder
On that big boat busting
Outta no-where
Turns out our tastes were young
We was amateurs
Cause his crew tasted better the next time around
Connoisseurs
We was rollin and ridin
We was chillin and vibin
When outta nowhere
Came some rally car drivin
White knuckles
With the kegs in the back
It was an off roading SAAB
Surprise attack
That's cardiac not Cadillac
New whip, new kicks, new hat
Aint no forgetting that
I mean, what can I say
Pounding out from our
Lunch break
We always dip when we leave
Under the beam, unseen
Throwing off the count
Is obscene
Brian's our door man
Or did you not see the
Gold-rimmed Caravan
Sebastian ain't need no degree
To make fifty g's
Zep's Swatch is a Rollie if he
Makes believe
To keep this hustle lucrative
We always dip when we leave
Got a field to hoe
Got a trip to bro
My boy is deep
And pairs well with merlot
Straight up, this ain't a deception
Your eyes aint lying, it's a
Triple bagception
Ya best send your prayers
Up in the air
Cause this boy, right here
This most valuable player,
Just crushed a King Slayer
Thudding again
Cause it's four am
And we arguing
With our global positioning
Tripping up the side
Of a coastal mountain top
We never found the path
But we didn't stop
Mud on my shoes
While I'm scratching at roots
Two homies stumble out of the Woods in the freshest of suits
Not lost, not found
Not up, not down
Match makers for strangers
Remember
I have a lot to apologize for
A cut too deep to ignore
Had some things
I had to work out
Thick walls
Can't hide the self-doubt
We opened up
And shared immense joy
Drop the act, don't be so coy
You ain't no mythical Helen of Troy
Ya better than that
You my Wedding Boy
Nice shirt
So fresh
So fresh
The best
The song "Boys" by Smile is an upbeat and energetic track that has become a staple of dance clubs and parties. The lyrics express the singer's desire for physical and romantic connection with the boys around her, and her willingness to invite them to be her lover. The song conjures images of hot summer nights spent on the beach or dancing at a club, where the singer is looking for nothing more than some fun and excitement.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that the singer is expressing her sexual liberation and empowerment, claiming agency over her own desires and taking charge of her own pleasure. She does not wait for the boys to approach her but instead actively seeks them out, inviting them to join her in a mutual exploration of physical intimacy. The use of the word "lover" rather than "boyfriend" or "partner" suggests a fluidity in the singer's approach to relationships, and a willingness to explore passion in a variety of forms and with a variety of people.
Interestingly, Smile was a Eurodance group from Italy that gained popularity in the 1990s with a string of hits like "Boys." The songs were known for their catchy hooks and danceable beats, and became popular not just in Italy but across Europe and beyond. The group disbanded in the early 2000s, but their music has continued to be played in clubs and enjoyed by fans of the Eurodance genre.

Boys boys be my boy
I am looking for a boy to be my companion
I want to feel your body
I desire a physical relationship with you
Tonight I'm ready honey
I am prepared for romantic desires tonight
I want to be your lover girl
I desire to be in a romantic pursuit with you
Be my lover boy
Be the object of my romantic desires
Hot summer times there is something on my mind
During the hot summer season, I have a certain desire or thought on my mind
A kind of magic in the air
There is an enchanting or enchanting atmosphere
I'm on the run to a sunny paradise
I am heading towards a tropical or relaxing location
With crowded beaches everywhere
The beaches are busy and filled with people
Hot summer nights always make me lose control
I have less self-control during the summertime
It's feel like heaven now I'm free
I am experiencing a sense of bliss now that I am unburdened
And all the boys, if you want to feel the heat
All the boys have the opportunity to experience passion and intensity with me
Just come along and play with me
Join me in my pursuit of romantic fun
I'm just the girl who's looking for some fun
I am a woman who seeks to indulge in enjoyable or pleasureable activities
It's time to get things started
The moment has arrived to initiate romantic pursuits
So come on everybody
Everyone is invited to join in the festivities
