Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff; April 3, 1922 or 1924) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist.
Day began her career as a big band singer in 1939, and is well known for her string of romantic comedies with leading man Rock Hudson including 'Pillow Talk' and 'Lover Come Back' in the early 1960s. Her popularity began to rise after her first hit recording "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving Les Brown & His Band of Renown to embark on a solo career, Day started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which remained her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967 and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. In 1948, after being persuaded by songwriters Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne and by Al Levy, her agent at the time, she auditioned for film director Michael Curtiz, which led to her being cast as the female lead in Romance on the High Seas.
Over the course of her career, Day appeared in 39 films. She was ranked the biggest box-office star, the only woman appearing on that list in the era, for four years (1960, 1962, 1963 and 1964), ranking in the top 10 for ten years (1951–52, and 1959–66). She became the top-ranking female box-office star of all time and is currently ranked sixth among the top 10 box office performers (male and female), as of 2012. Day received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Awards (World Film Favorite), and received the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement Award. In 1989, she received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures. She made her last film in 1968.
Doris Elinor Hermitage Day (1873, Abbeycwmhir, Powys, Great Britain – 1966, East London, South Africa) was a British archer. She competed at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

"Doris Day" is a song from 1982 by Dutch band Doe Maar. It was the title-track off their third album Doris Day en Andere Stukken and became their first top 10-hit.
Bass-player Henny Vrienten, lead-vocalist alongside pianist Ernst Jansz, wrote "Doris Day" as a complaint about TV-boredom (which includes the screening of a Doris Day-movie) best tackled by pressing the off-button and going out. The original lyrics also mentioned movie-expert Simon van Collem, but this was altered to "ein Wiener Operette" when he appeared to be the father of the band's new drummer Rene (1961).
"Doris Day" catapulted the otherwise thirtysomething Doe Maar into superstardom, but overexposure and creative exhaustion would split them up two years later. Vrienten, who went on to write TV- and movie-soundtracks, told Music Maker-magazine in 1985: "You can flush 'Doris Day' down the toilet anytime you like; it's the worst song I ever wrote. Rhyming for rhyming's sake, and stuff. And the worst thing of all is that it drew full crowd-participation every night".

All We Know Is Falling is the debut studio album by the American rock band Paramore, released on July 26, 2005. According to Paramore's A&R at Atlantic Records, Steve Robertson, instead of giving the debut album a major radio promotional push, he believed the band should start small and slowly build through word of mouth. In his own words, Robertson "wanted kids to discover the band without it being shoved down their throats."
The album reached No. 8 on the UK Rock Chart. In the USA, it reached No. 30 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, but failed to chart on the Billboard 200. The album produced three singles, "Pressure", "Emergency", and "All We Know", but all three failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The album then became a sleeper success after the success of the band's second album, Riot! in 2007 and in July 2014, nearly nine years after its release, All We Know Is Falling received gold certification from the RIAA.
In September 2005, a special Japanese edition containing the previously unreleased "Oh, Star" was made available. On May 26, 2009, a deluxe edition of the album was released exclusively on iTunes with 2 live tracks and 3 music videos.

I saw her wait, waitng at the bus stop
Watching as her tears dropped
Like pennies down a well
Oh well
We can drink until the sun comes up
I never let a good thing go
So I'll stay here if you're not leaving
I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to go
I saw your man, fast car and a dark suntan
You said he's in a punk-rock band
But baby, punk-rock's dead
Oh well
We can drink till you forget about him
It's not like he waits up for you
I'm sure he'd do the same thing too
But I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could make a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
(You don't have to go)
"Don't go, don't go so far away"
You don't have to
I knew it was a crime
I did it anyway
I tell him we're like magnets
I tell him I feel no shame
If I crawl into your blood
Can I sleep under your skin?
C'mon let me in
Don't make me wait
I am on your side
This house is empty
We could cross the line
And we could be making a big mistake
The silence breaks and you hear me say
"Don't go, don't go so far away" [x5]
You don't have to go
