RCA Records - PB 40027
Myzsterious Mizster Jones owes more than a passing nod to Laura Brannigan's 'Gloria' and sees Slade hark back to their (in?)famous mispelling days of the seventies, last seen with Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me in 1973!
The record was the third release from their 1985 forthcoming twelfth Studio Album, Rogues Gallery and it reached Number 50 in the UK singles chart, remaining in the charts for five weeks.
There was also a 12" Single, RCA PT 40028 released in March, 1985:-
It was also released in 7" Picture Disc format on RCA PB 40027 in the May of 1985:-
During Slade's mimed TV performances of it, Don's drum kit usually ended up being dragged all over the stage.
Another single from Rogues Gallery was released in the U.S.A. and Germany, Little Sheila:-
April, 1985 - USA 7" Single
CBS Associated ZS4 04865
1985 - Germany 7" Single
RCA Victor PB 40329
There was also a 12" Little Sheila single released in Germany on RCA Victor PT 40330 AF:-

Myzsterious Mizster Jones
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)
He'll wanna read your palm
And keep you calm
Gotta Voodoo head on a lucky charm
With a snake tattoo
Going down his arm
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
Well he's the living proof
Of eternal youth
Got an ice-cold diamond in his tooth
And the walls will tumble
When he hits the roof
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
[Chorus:]
Oh what's good for him
Is bad for me
Oh it's hard to break
A mystery
A double dealing hero
To bring you down to zero
His origins unknown
And he ain't got no home
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
He's into shooting stars
Eccentric cars
Grew up fussing, fighting, in thr bars
All he's got to show for it's
The battle scars
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
[Chorus]
Whatever makes him tick
Go take your pick
With a five line rhyming limerick
Is it his silver tongue
Well maybe that's the trick
Of the Myzsterious Mizster Jones
[Chorus]
He'll wanna read your palm
And keep you calm
Gotta Voodoo head on a lucky charm
With a snake tattoo
Going down his arm
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones

Got an ice-cold diamond in his tooth
And the walls will tumble
When he hits the roof
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
[Chorus:]
Oh what's good for him

Oh it's hard to break
A mystery
A double dealing hero
To bring you down to zero

Mama Nature Is A Rocker

Mama nature is a rocker - Get the bee to buzz and make it sting
Mama nature is a rocker - She gets your head spinnin' in the spring
Are you ready?
Woah are you ready?

Are you ready?
Woah are you ready?
Woah are you ready?

She takes the day back into night time - She can curse and turn the grey sky blue

Are you ready?
'Cos the earth is gonna shake it tonight.

Little Sheila
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)
The boys are getting rowdy,
Skies are getting cloudy,
And we're standing in the rain.
My feet are getting wetter,
Now we're feeling better,
And we're all out of our brain.
There's another urban jungle on heat,
And another rebel out on the street,
You've gotta watch yourself whoever you meet.
[Chorus]
'Cos she's little Sheila,
She's right now.
She's little Sheila,
Sheila's right now, yeah.
On up and over under,
Can you hear the thunder,
On a concrete avenue.
Pointed toe stilettoes,
Ringing in the ghettos,
When the girls are on the loose.
There's some commotion down on the street,
And some emotion out in the heat,
You've gotta watch yourself whoever you meet.
[Chorus]
The boys are getting meaner,
I ain't getting no cleaner,
See me standing in the rain.
I'm getting soaking wet,
And then I drop my cigarette,
And see it floating down the drain.
There's another urban jungle on heat,
And another rebel out on the street,
You've gotta watch yourself whoever you meet.
[Chorus]
The boys are getting rowdy,
Skies are getting cloudy,
And we're standing in the rain.
My feet are getting wetter,
Now we're feeling better,
And we're all out of our brain.
There's another urban jungle on heat,
And another rebel out on the street,
You've gotta watch yourself whoever you meet.
[Chorus]
'Cos she's little Sheila,
She's right now.
She's little Sheila,
Sheila's right now, yeah.
On up and over under,
Can you hear the thunder,
On a concrete avenue.

And some emotion out in the heat,
You've gotta watch yourself whoever you meet.

And another rebel out on the street,

Time To Rock
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)
Well I see my friends and family
Are waiting at the door
It's a party like you've never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
There's a bareskin in the bedroom
And another on the floor
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
So I say
Time to rock
Time to roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
And we go marching home
Time to rock
Time to roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
As we go marching home
Well there's people there who I don't know
They're knocking at the door
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
All the nice girls love a sailor
They get one in every town
But I like to see the rich girls get 'em at the door
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Well it's getting out of order
And somebody called the law
Let's pretend that we can't hear 'em at the door
There's a time and place for everything
It's now and we're all here
And there's nothing anymore that's very clear
[Chorus]
Well I see my friends and family
Are waiting at the door
It's a party like you've never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
There's a bareskin in the bedroom
And another on the floor
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
So I say
Time to rock
Time to roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
And we go marching home
Time to rock
Time to roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
As we go marching home
Well there's people there who I don't know
They're knocking at the door
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh oh oh oh
All the nice girls love a sailor
They get one in every town
But I like to see the rich girls get 'em at the door
Oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Well it's getting out of order
And somebody called the law
Let's pretend that we can't hear 'em at the door
There's a time and place for everything
It's now and we're all here
And there's nothing anymore that's very clear
[Chorus]
