**«Глава пятнадцатая, объясняющая предшествующую главу»** — пятнадцатая глава книги «Приключения Чиполлино».

## Сюжет

После того как синьора Горошка приговорили в замке к казни, Земляничка встретилась с Редиской и всё ей рассказала. Земляничка же немедленно передала всё Чиполлино, который вместе со всеми сбежавшими укрывался в лесу в пещере неподалёку от того места где они спрятали домик кума Тыквы.

Никому не сказав, что придумал, Чиполлино побежал воплощать свой план. Он долго ходил по полям пока не нашёл поляну где под землёй работал Крот, он присел и позвал его, когда понял, что тот совсем рядом. После того как из-за Чиполино он чуть не ослеп, Крот сердился и не очень хотел помогать мальчику, но Чиполлино был очень вежливым и убедил его помочь ему вновь. После их первой встречи Чиполлино догадался, что в душе Крот очень добрый, он рассказал ему о том в какую беду попал Горошек и они отправились к месту казни под землёй.

Они прорыли туннель прямо под эшафот и казались под самой виселицей. Когда люк открылся и Синьор Горошек упал на веревке вниз, Чиполлино в одно мгновение освободил его, напоил картофельным соком, который всегда с собой носил Крот, а также дал ему несколько пощечин, чтобы немного оживить его. Синьор Горошек не мог поверить, что Чиполлино его спас, он подумал, что умер и они встретились в раю. Но он когда познакомился с Кротом, который грубо и деловито шутил, стал горячо благодарить своих спасителей.

В пещере, куда Крот прорыл ещё один свой ход, все были рады, что Чиполлино оказался таким находчивым и спас их деревенского адвоката, все простили Горошку то, что он помогал Помидору и радовались его спасению. На радостях Крот пообещал заглядывать в свою новую нору под пещерой, чтобы узнавать как дела у его новых друзе… Однако синьор Горошек прервал веселье когда вспомнил, что проболтался синьору Помидору о том где Чиполино и его друзья спрятали домик кума Тыквы. Чиполлино мигом оказался у кума Черники, но домика уже не было, Лимончики забрали его вместе со всем имуществом кума Черники. Куму Чернике пришлось отправиться жить вместе с Чиполлино и другими в пещеру.

Глава двадцать девятая. Гроза, которая никак не может кончиться

**«Глава двадцать девятая. Гроза, которая никак не может кончиться»** — двадцать девятая глава книги «Приключения Чиполлино».

## Сюжет

После того как принц Лимон сбежал из столицы, он спрятался в навозной куче на краю поля.
Он ждал что его подчинённые наведут в городе порядок и разыщут его. Но Лимончики перешли на сторону народа, а его придворные оказались в тюрьме так что искать его было некому. Принц так бы и седел в своей кучи, но пошёл сильный дождь и принц вынужден был искать новое укрытие. Так он выяснил, что он всё это время был неподалёку от замка графинь Вишен. Проклиная свою глупость, он поспешил к ним.

Земляничка приняла принца Лимона за нищего и не хотела пускать его в замок. Однако его узнал синьор Петрушка. Чтобы оправдаться перед графинями за свой внешний вид, принц соврал будто он переоделся и ходил в народ посмотреть как тот живёт.

Принц решительно уклонился от попытки отправить его обратно домой во дворец. При этом он сослался на якобы непрекращающийся грозовой ливень и жильцы замка поспешили ему подыграть и начали притворяться будто за окном действительно идёт сильный дождь и гремит гром. А чтобы реальность им не мешала, они попросили Земляничку закрыть на окнах все ставни. Угождая принцу они все дрожали с ним вместе от страха перед бурей, а барон Апельсин даже сделал вид, что не хочет есть, так как у принца не было аппетита.

Ужинать пошли только после того как уставший от переживаний принц наконец-то заснул в своем кресле. Синьор Помидор, который сразу заподозрил что-то неладное, быстро покинул стол и, сообщив всем что идёт спать, отправился в деревню чтобы разведать в чём дело. Он хотел выяснить, что на самом деле так напугало принца и боялся того, что это могла быть революция.

За ним последовал адвокат Горошек, но Помидор заметил, что за ним кто-то идёт и пропустил его спрятавшись за изгородью. Однако оказалось, что и за Горошком тоже следил синьор Петрушка. Подождав ещё, Помидор увидел, что за Петрушкой крадётся герцог Мандарин, а за ним - барон Апельсин. Так они всю ночь и ходили друг за другом пока не встретились под утро на аллеях парка. Ничего так и не узнав, они наврали друг другу что якобы ходили ночью каждый по своим делам, при этом Апельсин и Мандарин оба придумали одно и тоже, будто бы они были на рыбалке, поэтому им пришлось ещё и разыгрывать удивление от того что они там не встретились.

Они все так устали, что шли с закрытыми глазами, поэтому только один из них увидел, что на башне Замка развевается флаг Республики. Его ночью подняли Чиполлино и Вишенка.

Глава девятая. Мышиный главнокомандующий вынужден дать сигнал к отступлению

**«Глава девятая. Мышиный главнокомандующий вынужден дать сигнал к отступлению»** — девятая глава книги «Приключения Чиполлино».

## Сюжет

Пленники синьора Помидора заключённые им в подземелье замка оказались в окружении мышей.

Поначалу профессор Груша отгонял их своей игрой на скрипке, которую мыши не возлюбили из-за того, что её звуки напоминают им кошачье мяуканье. Но так как Груша играл грустную музыку от которой всем хотелось плакать, его в итоге попросили прекратить.

И мышиные войска сразу пошли в атаку, они съели свечку и смычок. Однако отсутствие смычка все заметили только когда мыши снова пошли в атаку. Чтобы отбиться от них на этот раз им пришлось мяукать подражая кошкам. Испугавшись, мыши отступили.

Неизвестно чтобы они делали дальше если бы с ними не связалась через подслушивающую трубу синьора Помидора
служанка Земляничка. Она рассказала, что Чиполлино пытается их вызволить и по их просьбе скинула через трубу новую свечку и коробок спичек.

Синьор Помидор застукал Земляничку у себя в комнате, но когда она притворилась, что думает будто труба это всего лишь ловушка для мышей, отпустил её. А сам сел подслушивать, но его пленники, которые уже были предупреждены Земляничкой, только и делали что ругали Помидора.

Мыши вскоре снова предприняли атаку, они хотели съесть их новую свечку, но заключённые уже были готовы к этому и подняли свечу так высоко, что мышам не удалось до неё достать.
Раздосадованный генерал Мышь-Длиннохвост, которого за глаза называли генералом Бесхвостым, решил строго наказать своё войско и приказал каждому десятому отрезать усы.

А Чиполлино в это время вместе с Редиской встречался у замковой ограды со служанкой Земляничкой. Они так
увлеклись обсуждением планов по спасению друзей, что не заметили как к ним подкрался пёс Мастино, который повалил Чиполлино и удерживал мальчика пока на его лай не прибежал синьор Помидор, который радостно заключил Чиполлино в тюрьму, посадив его в отдельную камеру.

Onett Clubhouse

> "Onett Clubhouse, Do not enter. Yes, that counts for you too!"
>
> The sign standing in front of the Onett Clubhouse

The **Onett Clubhouse** is a small treehouse outside the town of Onett. It is nearby the Onett Library, just northwest of it. Throughout its lifetime, the treehouse has served as a place for clubs and gangs to hang out.

## In *EarthBound*

Towards the beginning of Ness's journey in *EarthBound,* Ness can enter the Clubhouse by simply walking straight into it in between the trees. Inside, he can talk to some of the club members occupying it. One of the members will compliment Ness for how far he'd come, and will give him the Mr. Baseball cap, a piece of equipment that boosts Ness's defense by a good amount. However, this is completely optional and not required.

## Non-canonically

Years after the events of *EarthBound,* during the Post-War Era, the Clubhouse serves as a spot for Fred and his gang to hang out in after school.

Ness took Emo there once, however they still prefer places that they can be for a long period of time and not have people come in.

Nathan went there once but after being bullied out by the gang members he swore to himself that he would one day destroy the clubhouse with everything in it.

Глава двадцатая. Герцог Мандарин и желтая бутылка

**«Глава двадцатая. Герцог Мандарин и желтая бутылка»** — двадцатая глава книги «Приключения Чиполлино».

## Сюжет

С отъездом графинь и принца, барон Апельсин и герцог Мандарин остались в замке одни, единственными его хозяевами. Когда герцог это обнаружил, он сказал барону Апельсину будто графини укрывают от него в подвале лучшие свои вина, а его угощают только плохим вином из капусты.
На самом деле он хотел заглянуть в подвал потому что слышал, что там в одной из стен графини спрятали наследство покойного графа Вишни, которым не захотели ни с кем делиться. Он хотел найти эти сокровища. А барона Апельсина решил взять на случай если его поймают, тогда бы он мог свалить всю вину на него, сказать, что тот хотел пить и ему пришлось спуститься с ним, так как носильщика его живота Фасоль они отпустили.

Склон лестницы разогнал их тачку и герцог Мандарин не сразу смог остановиться.
Затормозили же он у бочек между которых был проход. Пока Апельсин опустошал бутылки, Мандарин обнаружил там маленькую дверь, которую нельзя было никак открыть. Он мучался, пытаясь разгадать её секрет, пока барон не попросил подать ему жёлтую бутылку с полки рядом с дверью. Это была единственная жёлтая бутылка там, и когда герцог её взял сработал механизм открывающий дверцу.

За дверцей оказался Вишенка, он поблагодарил за то что его впустили, но догадался о том, что барон с герцогом затеяли что-то нехорошее. Вишенка не стал развивать эту тему, а вместо этого представил своих друзей, которые пожаловали с ним в замок: Чиполлино, Редиску, мастера Виноградинку, кума Тыкву, адвоката и прочих беглецов.

Оказывается они давно нашли друг друга в лесу, а также узнали о том, что их враги оставили замок на барона с герцогам и решили захватить вражескую крепость. Вишенка сам всё это придумал и воспользовавшись секретным туннелем, соединяющий замок с лесом, привёл их в замок.

Герцога Мандарина заперли в его комнате, приставив Фасолинку сторожить его, а Апельсина оставили в подвале, потому что никто не хотел поднимать его по лестнице.

## Цитаты

> Под тяжестью живота барона тачка покатилась вниз по ступенькам с такой скоростью, что, если бы окованная медью дверь погреба была закрыта, герцог и барон неминуемо расшиблись бы в лепёшку.
>
>

> Барон, удобно усевшись на земле, протягивал руки то направо, то налево и, не тратя даром ни минуты, хватал по две, по три бутылки, вытаскивал пробки зубами, которые у него давно уже стали крепче железа от постоянного упражнения, и опрокидывал содержимое бутылок себе в рот.

Born in Southern Mississippi, Jones developed an interest in the tenor saxophone at the age of 5. By the age of 10 he was playing in adult bands, and by the age of 15 he had left his home to tour the country. He claims to have influenced a number of notable musicians during his time with them, including convincing B.B. King to stick with the guitar instead of switching to the trumpet, however these statements have been widely contested. He worked throughout the 1960s and 1970s as a session musician and a touring member of several bands. It was during this time that he met both his old lady Bernice, whom he would regularly cheat on throughout the ensuing decades, and a young Michael Slammer, who he took in as a sort of son-like figure. It was during this time that Jones instilled the value of "deny[ing], deny[ing] deny[ing]" in the boy, which would be widely quoted in the wake of Slammer's numerous legal trials. After joining All Business in the early 1990s as a drummer, Slammer convinced Jones to do the same. Jones lead the horn section for the group alongside trumpeter Enzo Dodd, with whom he shared an intense working relationship. He left the band in 2000, citing artistic and moral differences and the fact that "they didn't give a shit about the blues."

Jones would make his acting debut alongside many of his bandmates in the 2004 historical epic film *Unify* (2004), playing John Hancock. Michael Slammer played Sam Adams, who Hancock inaccurately treated as a son-like figure in the film. Following this and the unsuccessful opening of his "Bo's Nasty Catfish" restaurant, Jones formed the Dirty Down Under boys as a backing band for his solo, blues heavy efforts. The lineup featured Slammer, Dodd, bassist Johnny Law and guitarist Moe Silk. Jones would play with this lineup until his death by burst liver in 2014, around the same time that talks had begun regarding an All Business reunion. The band's comeback album *Back to Business* (2015) would feature posthumous contributions from him (the authenticity of which have been disputed) and was dedicated in his honor.

Yesterday

"**Yesterday**" is a song by English rock band The Beatles, originally released in 1965. It was covered by American rock band All Business on their seventh studio album *Friction Makes Heat* (1996), and was released as one of the album's many singles. *Rolling Stone* alleged in their review of the album that the band's version might be the greatest recording of the song of all time, a fact which would be quoted by the band for their rest of their careers.
The Hard Talk

"**The Hard Talk"** is a song by American rock band All Business from their sixth studio album *Man's Best Friend* (1996). The song was written by Vernon O'Shaughnessy about giving your son the "sex talk", though it's been speculated that the song was actually written about the band's guitarist Lonnie Joe Parker, who was 14 at the time of the song's release.
Bad Bitches In My DMs

"**Bad Bitches in my DMs**" is a song by American rock band All Business. Released on their twentieth studio album *X Marks the Spot* (2024), the rage and plugg inspired song was first heard by fans as a solo Rolly Rockefeller snippet the previous year. He recorded the song while trying to join Playboi Carti's Opium record label, which he successfully did for about a week before getting kicked out. This was due to his age, demeanor and public image. This in turn prompted Rockefeller to leak "Bad Bitches" to try and sway public opinion about him, showing that he was indeed Opium worthy. This was unsuccessful, with many disregarding the song and his ensuing performance at Rolling Loud Thailand. The track was eventually released as an All Business song with minimal changes.
Erman Holt

**Erman Holt** is an American musician best known as the sixth guitarist of rock band All Business. Despite being billed as the band's "least important member" by lead singer Vernon O'Shaughnessy, he is one of the few members to be present on nearly every one of the band's albums. He is known for his lack of technical virtuosity and his notably simple guitar solos, which were heavily featured on the band's early recordings. His talents were drawn into question after a notorious interview with the band in 1993, during which he was asked to play a C chord on his guitar. He reveled he did not know what that meant after a prolonged period of stammering, and was subsequently advised by the rest of the band to not publicly speak moving forward. This would push him to the bottom of the band's social ladder for most of their history.

**Humphrey Grammar**, known professionally as **H. G. Willikers** and artistically as **peacekeeper**, is an American lawyer and musician. He is best known as the head lawyer of American rock band All Business, and has represented a number of the members in various cases since 1993. As peacekeeper, he has released two IDM albums, the first of which appeared as the 18th disc of All Business's 18 disc eighth album 18 Kings. He is the only non-member of the group to get his own disc on the album.
We've Got Something to Say

***We've Got Something to Say*** is the thirteenth studio album by American rock band All Business. It was released on August 8, 2000, by Rock Records and Epic Records. Promoted as "a return to hard rocking form" for the band following several creative detours, the album also doubles as a diss record towards the group's accountant Howard Neely, whose perceived financial mismanagement sent the band into bankruptcy.

Recording for the album took place during the latter half of 1999. Sonically, the album sees the band return to their trademark hard rock style, along with incorporating elements of nu metal. It would be the band's final album recorded at their Mount Vernon estate, which would have to be foreclosed due to the band's financial situation. A majority of the album's songs were bitterly directed at Howard Neely, with several making accusations against his character and revealing intimate details about his personal life. Several tracks also made passes at his wife Julia, including the single "Julia (Get Freaky)". Controversially, the album ends by publicly revealing her positive breast cancer diagnosis, a fact which the band paid her doctor to not reveal to her so she could hear it for the first time alongside the rest of the world. This would outrage many members of the band, several of whom had just returned from deployment overseas. Five members would thus exit the band before the album's release, including saxophonist Bo Jones and guitarist Larry Silk.

Despite heavy promotion, particularly behind its lead single "Give It To Me (Little Lady)", *We've Got Something to Say* saw All Business underperforming commercial expectations for the third time in a row. The album received mixed critical reception, with several bashing the group for their harassment of the Neely family. Despite the success of the supporting Stage 2 Tour, All Business's poor financial situation would disenfranchise many of its members. The album would be the band's second to last before entering a hiatus the following year.

## Track listing

Singles: "Give It To Me (Little Lady)", "Julia (Get Freaky)", "We're Not F\*\*\*\*\*g Around" and "A Whiter Shade of Pale".

Feel the Life

"**Feel the Life**" is a song by American rock band All Business from their twelfth studio album *The Real History* (1999). Recorded in a new pop punk style for the band, the song would go on to be released as the lead single from the album. Lyrically, "Feel the Life" acts as a plea for the American government to fund further research into a purported lost civilization that was allegedly uncovered by All Business members while deployed overseas. Coincidentally, this happened to be one of the main platforms lead singer Vernon O'Shaughnessy was running on at the time in his failed push to become governor of Texas. The song and the platform were both marred by critics, with many demeaning it ingenuine, unimportant and even entirely fabricated. The song fared poorly commercially, with it not managing to chart on the *Billboard* Hot 100.
Rock Records

**Rock Records** was an American record label founded by rock band All Business in 1997. Created in conjunction with Epic Records following the group's departure from Capital Records, the label would declare bankruptcy and go out of business less than five years later due to a number of damaging financial decisions made by the group.

Go Nads

"**Go Nads**" is a song by American rock band All Business, released on their twentieth studio album *X Marks the Spot* (2024). The song was primarily written by guitarist and disgraced fragrance mogul Ernesto, who sings the song's chorus and first verse. Lyrically, Ernesto details an extramarital affair he's having with a woman that wants to play with his "go nads." It's also been speculated that some lyrics make subliminal references to human trafficking, which Ernesto was accused of and evading trial for at the time by being aboard the All Business Cruise Experience. The song also features a rap verse from Rolly Rockefeller and an extended guitar solo by Larry Silk over the song's reggaeton beat. Like the rest of the album, "Go Nads" was marred by critics for its immature lyrics and confusing mix of genres.
Enzo Dodd

**Enzo Dodd** (April 5, 1974-April 23, 2025) was an American trumpeter. He was best known as a member of American rock band All Business, in which he formed half of the band's permanent horn section alongside saxophonist "Dirty" Bo Jones. During his infrequent time with the band, he also played the cello, oboe, alto saxophone, and, when Jones was not with the band, tenor saxophone. Dodd joined in 1993 during the Industry Titans Tour, when he was recruited from the Berklee College of Music due to his on stage gymnastic abilities as opposed to his musical proficiency. At only 19 years old, he became the group's second youngest member behind the then-12 year old Lonnie Joe Parker. Though both men were tormented with their newfound fame, the puberty stricken Dodd was shown much less love than Parker, much like how young children with cancer are given far more attention than teenagers with cancer. Dodd became reluctant to perform his gymnastic feats on stage after shooting a man on stage during one of his first concerts with the group. The horrendous reception to his untitled solo disc on the band's 18 disc 8th release *18 Kings* (1997) only heightened his timidness, with him thus keeping a low profile both in and outside All Business. In 2007, Dodd released his memoir *The Shot Heard Round the World: My Life as All Business's Actual Murderer.*

Throughout his career, Dodd felt alienated from the rest of his bandmates. His performances on albums were occasionally praised, such as his prominent muted trumpet work on *Barely Legal: The Gangsters* (2018). While recording the group's penultimate album *Red Scare* (2025), Dodd died in an alleged murder suicide while in Suzhou, China. His death influenced the band's surviving members to officially retire from recording and begin their farewell Las Vegas Residency, which is currently being staged in his honor.

The Edge of Destiny

"**The Edge of Destiny**" is a song by American rock band All Business from their second studio album *Back 2 Basics* (1992)*.* Released as the second single from the album, the song was one of the band's first to deviate from the straightforward, hair metal style that they had exclusively utilized on their debut album. The album version of the song is a sprawling 10 minute power ballad that has 4 distinct stylistic sections, each with a solo from a different member of the band (guitarist Ted Bundy, saxophonist Bo Jones, keyboardist Manchester Seuss and auxiliary percussionist Philip Duke, respectively). Lead singer and co-songwriter Vernon O'Shaughnessy stated that he was inspired by the success of similarly long songs like "November Rain" and "I'd Do Anything For Love" to dabble with "sadder music", however it would be the song's 3 minute single edit that would earn the track it's success. This version, containing only Bundy's solo, reached the top of the *Billboard* Hot 100 chart, becoming All Business's first song to do so. Its success also helped push *Back 2 Basics* to the top of the album charts, with it subsequently becoming one of the best selling albums of the year. The song was performed as the finale at all dates on the band's ensuing Industry Titans Tour, with an increasing number of solos being added as more and more members joined the band. According to Bundy, the song is "perhaps the most important in All Business's catalog, at least from a living standpoint... a monetary standpoint. It made us a lot of money. I bought a new house because of 'Edge of Destiny'. I lived somewhere because of it, and I think a lot of people who were touched by that song can say the same thing."
Speed of the Demon

"**Speed of the Demon**" is a song by All Business guitarist Lonnie Joe Parker. Originally released on *The Impossible Album,* his disc of the band's 18 disc eighth album *18 Kings,* the song was later issued as a single. Lyrically, "Speed of the Demon" explores Parker's alleged deal with the devil that granted him his incredibly fast guitar playing abilities.
Unite the World Foundation acquisition of the Longhorn Steakhouse chain

In 1998, American rock band All Business, through their charitable organization the Unite the World Foundation, acquired the LongHorn Steakhouse chain of restaurants. Headed by the band's accountant Howard Nealy and their lawyer H. G. Willikers, the acquisition would prove a disastrous move for the charity. Within one year, the organization had to declare bankruptcy, with All Business placing much of the blame on Nealy. He subsequently became the subject of their controversial 13th studio album *We've Got Something to Say* (2000).
Johnny Law

**Johnny Law** is an American bassist, stand up comedian and federal informant. He is best known as one of the original members of rock band All Business, having appeared on all but three of their albums. The band's legal woes in later years drive him to become an informant for the FBI in order to gain immunity.

## Ben Tacular

In 2018, Law began performing stand up comedy under the pseudonym Ben Tacular. He would wear a paper bag over his head during early performances to maintain anonymity, as he feared retribution for the controversial, right leaning content of his sets. His subjects included liberalism, gender roles, the Black lives matter movement and China. He started to perform without the bag after two sets, revealing his identity and thus bringing the stand up more attention. He claimed to do this to "show the mainstream media he [wasn't] scared of them", however he did make several offhand remarks about the bag being too hot to perform in. It's been speculated that it was during these sets that Law first came into contact with the FBI.

Unify World Premiere Tour

The **Unify World Premiere Tour** was a series of promotional premiere screenings for the historical epic film *Unify* (2004). Boasting the presence of American rock band All Business, who made up the movies principle cast, the screenings would be the last time the group would appear in public for a number of years. Each successive date of the tour, which lasted from 2004 to 2005, saw friction between band members escalate higher, with the final few screenings ending in full on brawls between the group.
Scared of the Fent

"**Scared of the Fent**" is a song by American rock band All Business from their 21st studio album *Red Scare* (2025). The song details vocalist's Vernon O'Shaughnessy and Rolly Rockefeller's fears of being laced with fentanyl in order to silence them. The two singers recorded their parts while positioned in different continents.
Don't Leave Me (Stay)

"**Don't Leave Me (Stay)**" is a song by All Business guitarist Moe Silk. Originally released on *Here, Bitch,* his disc of the band's 18 disc eighth album *18 Kings,* the song was later issued as a single. Like the rest of his project, the song explores Silk's feelings on his divorce from his ex wife Tammy. Lyrically, "Don't Leave Me" acts as a plea for her to come back to him, though he stresses that it's only if she wants to as he doesn't want to pressure her. Silk's recording of "Don't Leave Me" did not fare well, with many critics singling out his off key falsetto on the chorus. However, the song would find success when covered by other artists a number of years later. This prompted All Business to start performing it in concert, though other members had to take up lead vocal duties as Moe could not emotionally overcome the sensitive subject matter while on stage.

All I Ever Really Wanna Do (Is Say To You)

"**All I Ever Really Wanna Do (Is Say To You)**" is a song by American rock band All Business from their seventh studio album Friction Makes Heat. It was released as the third single from the album on January 25, 1997. Written by Vernon O'Shaughnessy as a ploy to get Rolly Rockefeller to rejoin the band, the lyrics of the song are directed at Rockefeller and his many positive attributes. O'Shaughnessy later said it was "one of the hardest songs I'd ever had to write".
Manchester Seuss

**Manchester Seuss** was an American keyboardist. He was best known as the synth player of rock band All Business, for which he played on 14 of their albums. His abrasive tones and whimsical persona bled into his numerous solos throughout the groups discography, and were most prominently displayed on his "Explorations in B Flat Minor" disc on the band's 18 disc album 18 Kings (1997).

Oh Lord

"**Oh Lord**" is a song by American rock band All Business from their eleventh studio album *Humble Servants* (1998). Sharing a title with the opening track of their ninth album *The Lonely Road,* released earlier the same year, the *Humbler Servants* version focuses on the band's newfound conversion to Catholicism.
Pompeii (Bastille Song)

"**Pompeii**" is a song by British pop rock band Bastille. It is the fourth single from their debut studio album *Bad Blood* and was released on January 11, 2013. Co-written by lead singer Dan Smith and All Business members Vernon O'Shaughnessy and Ted Bundy, the song became one of the biggest hits of the year, as well as the first song from the O'Shaughnessy-Bundy songwriting partnership in nearly a decade.

Throughout their hiatus, many of the members of All Business had ceased contact or refused to speak with one another. While O'Shaughnessy and Bundy were not on bad terms, they hadn't collaborated on a song since the unreleased soundtrack to their movie *Unify* (2004). While wandering around a British recording studio in 2012 and listening to newer artists for a laugh, the two overheard Dan Smith struggling to complete a song with his band. Impressed by the song and intrigued by its commercial sound, the two middle aged men offered to assist. Though Smith did not initially know who they were, he liked the "eh-eh-oh, eh-oh" chant that they started singing over the chorus and decided to keep it. O'Shaughnessy and Bundy left the studio after 10 minutes to go find another artist to gawk at, however Smith felt this refrain had completed the track. The song was thus released with a "Smith, O'Shaughnessy-Bundy" writing credit.

The song became a breakthrough hit for Bastille upon release, as well as the first hit for O'Shaughnessy-Bundy in several years. The two performed the track with the band at the 2014 Brit awards, where the song was nominated for British single of the year. The song's success, along with the passing of All Business saxophonist "Dirty" Bo Jones the same year, helped convince the band to reform and record their long awaited 15th album *Back to Business* (2015). The song was included as a bonus track on the band's 17th album *Buy Low, Sell High* (2017) and was regularly covered by All Business on their Can't Stop the Feeling World Tour during the show's "Back on Top" segment.
All Business (album)

***All Business*** is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band All Business, released on September 4, 2001, by Rock Records and Epic Records.

*All Business* is mostly comprised of loose instrumentals and hasty covers of other songs, with only three proper original compositions being included on the album. The recordings came from an informal jam session between guitarist Mo Silk, bassist Johnny Law, drummer Danny Ingram, saxophonist Bo Jones and H. G. Wilikers, the band's lawyer and occasional IDM artist, who acted as keyboardist. Upon learning of these recordings, lead vocalist Vernon O'Shaughnessy insisted on fleshing them out into a full album. Although the group had mostly disintegrated at this time following the controversial *We've Got Something to Say* and the rowdy Stage 2 Tour, they still had to release one more album according to the contract they wrote for themselves for their own Rock Records label. With new label head Howard Neely (formerly the band's accountant) threatening the band if they did not release new music, O'Shaughnessy and lead guitarist Ted Bundy inserted some last minute contributions to the recordings and submitted them as an All Business album.

*All Business* was released with next to no promotion, with the only single being a cover of "Jingle Bells" that was released in December. The album became the band's lowest selling release up to that point, only being certified gold by the RIAA. The album was another in a series of critical failures for the band, with some not even considering it a proper All Business album given that only one third of the full band appeared on it. This would be the group's final album released prior to their hiatus, which would last until 2015's *Back to Business.* Although this was because of the increasingly intense in-fighting between members, Ted Bundy claimed it was due to the September 11th attacks, which inspired All Business to begin work on their "magnum opus". This would allegedly materialize as *Back to Business,* although some believed they were referring to the 2004 historical epic film *Unify* which the entire band would star it.
