It is said that he was inspired to play music after seeing Elvis Presley on television. His first interest in music was when he learned the trumpet in the fourth grade, and later, the guitar. At age 14, he taught himself to play “Frankie and Johnny” and performed at a high-school talent contest. He played in several local bands, and after graduation, began working as a musician in clubs. It was during this time that wrote and produced his first single, “Lazy Me”.

Mel McDaniel signed to Capitol Records in 1976 and released his first single, “Have a Dream on Me”, but his career finally took off with “Louisiana Saturday Night” in 1981. In early 1985 he scored his only number one hit with “Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On”

Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On

Lyrics

Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody’s lookin’ as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her ’til she’s gone

Lord have mercy, baby’s got her blue jeans on

Up by the bus stop and across the street
Open up their windows to take a peek
Y’all she goes walking, rockin’ like a rollin’ stone

Heaven help us, baby’s got her blue jeans on

She can’t help it if she’s made that way
She’s not to blame if they look her way
She ain’t really tryin’ to cause a scene
It just comes naturally
Aww, the girl can’t help it

Well, up on main street by the taxi stand
There’s a crowd of people and a traffic jam
But she don’t look back, she ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong

Lord have mercy, baby’s got her blue jeans on

She can’t help it if she’s made that way
She’s not to blame if they look her way
She ain’t really tryin’ to cause a scene
It just comes naturally
Aww, the girl can’t help it

Down on the corner by the traffic light
Everybody’s lookin’ as she goes by
They turn their heads and they watch her ’til she’s gone

Lord have mercy, baby’s got her blue jeans on
Heaven help us, baby’s got her blue jeans on
