From the recording SOMEBODY NEW
Well, this was the VERY FIRST song ever written (ever) by the song-writing duo (Roland) COLON and (Sal) GERACI ... way back in 1966, just after they met. It remained an a cappella party-favorite through the years and after decades of time had passed, the Lads finally got around to addressing their unfinished business ... by recording an album called "UNFINISHED BUSINESS" in 2020 (while in COVID-19 Lock Down) ... it was then that it was decided that the new collection (of OLD songs) should open with their very first composition - the one that started it all ... thus, "Somebody New" was finally recorded (in 2020 in case you missed that the first time) ... They used "retro" techniques to make the song sound as if it were actually recorded in the mid-to-late 1960's! That's right: They "dumbed it down" ... forcing it to have the sound of Mom's 1966 AM Car Radio! Oh, and don't forget the handclaps ... they didn't!
Lyrics
You say that you love me
And then you don't
Make up your mind
Is it will or won't
I'm getting tired
Of the things you say
Make up your mind
Or I'll leave you today
Because I found somebody new
And it's you
Love was more than
Something that you read
You never paid heed
To what I said
Now that you know
That I am right
Love is for the keeping
So keep here tonight
Because I found somebody new
And it's you
And if you ever change
Back to you again
Then the vows we made
We can renew again
Then I'd have the old new you
And the love that we once knew
Yes l'd have somebody new
And it be you
You say that you love me
And then you don't
Make up your mind
Is it will or won't
I'm getting tired
Of the things you say
Make up your mind
Or I'll leave you today
Because I found somebody new
And it's you
