此曲為英裔澳籍女歌手Olivia Newton-John由其1975的專輯《Have You Never Been Mellow》中所釋出的第2首單曲，在美國告示牌熱門榜獲得第3名的佳績。

歌曲一開始是在讚頌酒吧角落的點唱機，用少許的錢即可聽到最棒的鄉村歌曲，但某些情歌卻會觸發不好的記憶。其中按鍵B-17是女主角和前男友共同的歌曲，觸歌傷情，為了避免再次受到刺激，拜託拜託那位點歌的牛仔先生，不要再按B-17這首歌了。

巧合的事情來了，此曲作者之一的Bruce Welch，是英國貓王Cliff Richard專屬樂隊The Shadows的成員。1968，與Olivia Newton-John相識不久後，倆人隨即訂婚，關係維持了5年，之後傳言Olivia在和別人約會，Bruce在極不情願下才同意分手，甚至事後企圖自殺，而還是幸運活了下來( 尊重生命，請打1995 )。Bruce Welch自己在1974曾錄唱過這首《Please Mr. Please》，但在商業上並不成功。而Olivia錄唱這首「前未婚夫」的歌，對應歌曲的內容，不知會不會有些尷尬？

Olivia之後結過兩次婚：(1984-1995) ( 2008-2022)，其間的一任男友Patrick McDermott (1996-2005)竟然在加州海岸釣魚時失蹤，遺體至今未尋獲，也有傳言說他是詐死，目前在墨西哥生活。1992，Olivia被確診罹患乳癌，2017，有復發移轉現象，就在這個禮拜一 (2022/08/08)，Olivia終於不敵病魔辭世，享年73歲。而她初出道時甜姐兒的形象，相信會一直留在歌迷的心中。

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again
Please Mr. please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song but it's over
Please Mr. please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again
If I had a dime for every time I held you
Though you're far away, you've been so close to me
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville
Maybe even in the state of Tennessee
But I guess I'd better get myself together
'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind
Just a note that said, "I'm sorry" by your picture
And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind
Please Mr. please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song but it's over
Please Mr. please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again
