Lick is the third album by The Lemonheads and the last to feature founding member Ben Deily. It was released in 1989 and was the group's last album before signing to major label Atlantic. A typo on the album itself erroneously states its release date as 1988. As with their first two albums, it was re-released as a CD in 1992, with two bonus tracks.
As would become something of a trademark, the Lemonheads' lineup featured some significant differences on Lick from both previous and later albums. Although the band had officially broken up after recording their second album, Creator, in 1988, they were offered a chance to play a European tour, so in early '89 the band reformed with Evan Dando on drums, Corey Loog Brennan and Ben Deily on guitars, and Jesse Peretz on bass. Deily and Dando, the Lemonheads' two singers, were still not getting along, and their personality clashes and technical difficulties in the studio meant that only five new original songs were recorded. To fill out Lick, several earlier unreleased tracks, B-sides, and covers were added to the album.
"Lick" is a song by American funk/soul singer Joi, It was written by Joi Gilliam, Sleepy Brown, Rico Wade, Brandon Bennett, Raymon Ameer Murrey and produced by Joi for her third studio album Star Kitty's Revenge and later appeared in the film xXx and its soundtrack. Becoming an instant cult favorite courtesy of the film, this remains Gilliam's most successful single to date. A music video was never shot due to Gilliam parting ways with the music label and joining then fellow Lucy Pearl band mate Raphael Saadiq's Pookie Entertainment label at the time of its success. The song would later be sampled in rapper Gucci Mane's 2007 hit single "Freaky Gurl".

My eyes will barely open
And I can't feel my arm
I hear the voice of the scarecrow calling me
I'm rolling in my bed
And still my eyes won't focus
I wonder which one of me
I'll need to be today
Stir it up
Mix it up
I'll keep you guessing
[Chorus]
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
A quick glance in the mirror
And then I'm on my way
I think I'll know who I'll have to
Be today
Sir it up
Mix it up
I'll keep you guessing
[Chorus]
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
How are you at picking out
A face within a crowd
Have a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
[Chorus]
How are you at picking out
A face within a crowd
Have a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
