Here Comes The Sun

With this song, off the 1969 Abbey Road album, The Beatles kept doing what they did best - providing the world with great music!  It's a simple song with few lyrics but it is meaningful and upbeat and classic Beatles.  I was creating a Wedding Seating Music CD this morning for a wedding this weekend and I found this song as an instrumental and HAD to include it for seating music!  Such a great song. 
I love how George Harrison, author of the song, uses the sun to tell the story of love.  There's a saying it reminds me of.  "Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place." (Zora Neale Hurston)  As the song says, the ice is slowly melting.  Just as the sun melts the ice so does true and sincere love melt the cold heart.  And when the heart is warmed by love it crawls out from its cold hiding place and unfurls into a thing of beauty. 
Btw, there were many videos to chose from with this song but this is the one I chose because I enjoyed watching it almost as much as I enjoyed the song itself!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
