We were in NYC not too long ago and saw an off Broadway performance of "Jersey Boys" ... LOVED all of the music, as I did growing up. I have so many favorites, but I think "Oh What a Night" is one of my favorites!
Valli. No they were popular when I was about 6 or 7 years old so I was really too young and I never liked them much. I think they did one "Dawn go away I'm no good for you ,,,," that I remember but did not like it much. Their music was sort of corny and postured, forced.
I think there was a show or a movie based on their career called jersey Boys. Well I was a "Jersey Girl" but there was a big difference between Newark where they came from and Suburban NJ where I grew up. Plus they were lots older. So to most people that I knew kind of old-fashioned. We were into I guess what we imagined was more subtle stuff like The Rascals and Motown - danceable but with the kind of beat that made you move your whole body and not just your shoulders. I thought of them as shoulder music. Not that they needed me to like them - they were very big for years but it was with a different kind of crowd.
Beware of his promise Believe what I say Before the night is ending Be sure of what you're saying
Cause he paints a pretty picture And he tells you that he loves you And he covers you with roses And he always keeps you dreaming If he always keeps you dreaming You won't have a lonely hour If the day could last forever You might like your ivory tower
But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Oh yeah the night begins to turn your head around
Beware of his promise Believe what I say Before I go forever Be sure of what you're saying
Cause the words might come too quickly If you really think I'm leaving And goodbye might come too easy If you really think he loves you If you really think he loves you You would give yourself completely If the day could last forever You would give yourself completely
But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Oh yeah the night begins to turn your head around
And the night begins to turn your head around Oh yeah you know you're gonna lose more than you found Ma ma ma ma oh the night begins to turn your head around Yeah yeah yeah yeah and you know you're gonna lose more than you found, oh
