You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie) è una canzone di Chuck Berry del 1964, scritta dallo stesso mentre si trovava in prigione per tentato crimine sessuale. La storia parla del matrimonio di una giovane coppia e della loro luna di miele a New Orleans. La canzone vanta numerose cover, su tutte quella degli Status Quo, ed è anche stata usata come colonna sonora per il film Pulp Fiction, di Quentin Tarantino.
