"Just Like Honey" is a song by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain from their 1985 debut album Psychocandy. The track was released as the third and final single from the album through Blanco y Negro Records in September 1985. An important milestone in the development of the alternative rock subgenre of noise pop,[4][5][6] the song was written by band members William Reid and Jim Reid. Drummer Bobby Gillespie quotes Hal Blaine's opening drum riff from The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" in the song's intro.[7]
The song has appeared in several films, most notably in the closing scene of Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003), as well as The Man Who Loved Yngve and a 2011 Volkswagen advertisement. The track is also featured in "Mommy", the third episode of American Horror Story: Hotel.[7]
