@elleboucher I am reasonably sure Lennon didn't have any involvement in writing, singing or playing on this track. I suppose there is the possibility of something that was "uncredited" but I think this album was before Lennon's "Lost Weekend" period where he was hanging out with Nilsson. Lennon DID produce Harry's PUSSY CATS LP.
This song has been stuck in my head since the 80's, it was in a movie intro, something Cherry High or something like that, lol, and I never knew who sang it. Now that I know what this song was, can someone tell me the name of the movie?
Imagine a young girl listening to her mom's new album, we loved "Without You" so when this girl heard this song, she laughed hysterically thinking she would be punished for even hearing it. Those words weren't in the songs then...still laughing! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of my X wife. We'd only been married for 6 months back in 1974 at the tender age of 19. One day I came home from work and plopped down on the couch to unwind. So I start looking through a Sears catalog (as there were no other magazines around) and what should fall out but a love letter from her boss. At the time it hurt real bad & I left. But she did me a favor as I'm now with my wife of 30 years and 3 great sons. When one door closes, another one opens
guys I'm scared! In 1876, a young girl named Jenn was walking down a river, an insane man killed her by stabbing her in the back, raping her, and then hanging her in his closet. While he hanged her he said Bukakke Bukkake. Now that you have read this message, she will find you and her dead body will haunt your house for 5 years.

i remember this song from my years gone by, i tell some of the kids i work with now about it and they think imlying....so glad it its here. thanks for posting...!!!
I just watched Who is Harry Nilsson. Paul McCartney got everyone to sing this song at his grave. Aftershocks from the 1994 Northridge Earthquake were shaking his casket. That was a great documentary. I'm sure that moment was even greater.
I dont have a damn man & im done entertaining this it just upsets me no wonder i had a damn seizure.i get it you hate me! i get it ok! i love you danny goodbye & I mean it I am done entertaining this dont need anymore of it.
Just cruel right up there with slut vid thx a fuckin lot :(ba bye now i get to hear those words while i recover from seizure & feeling like total shit but thx again for another cruel vid
@Kazekage5th "Who is Harry Nilsson and Why Is Everybody Talkin About Him". I've heard his songs but never heard of Harry personally. After watching the documentary, I'm a fan. It's on Netflix streaming. Watch it!
Great song. I forgot that he sang this, so thanks for posting it. I just finished seeing a documentary on his life, if you're a Nilsson fan you gotta see it. I learned so much about this brilliant artist. They truly don't make 'em like that anymore. Tremendous talent that left us too soon. R.I.P. Harry
We can all relate to this. Whenever the lyrics pop into my head, at any time, I always get a good laugh. I'm just discovering Nilsson's amazing vesatiltiy and productivity including the 20s and 30s classic recordings. I completely understand why John Lennon and Paul McCartney named Nilsson as their favorite singing artist.
When I posted this, over a year ago, I never thought it would get responses. I posted it after a really bad split. Been hearing this song since I was a kid, and it never meant so much to me, as it did a year ago. I'm glad you found it here. Harry was AWESOME, he could sing ANYTHING!!
BTW, I like the Cee Lo song too, if you've been through it, you know how these songs can fit a certain mood.
Hadn't heard this song in 30 years ! What a classic ! Another funny one from Nilsson is " I'd Rather Be Dead ". Unfortunately , he left us too soon and like all geniuses , underapprieciated in his time . Rock on Harry , wherever you are !!!!!!
Thank you BBC for introducing this gem to me... what a loss the too soon death of this genius was. One can only imagine what else he could have left for our entertainment.
I've ben a fan for years, but I never heard this song until just this minute, on the BBC tribute documentary 'Imagine - Harry Nilsson: the Missing Beatle.' What a voice, what a genius, what a man! And his last wife Una was (still is) one of the most beautiful women in the world!
George had good taste in Nilsson songs. This is the all-time champ of breakup songs. Hallmark ought to put it in one of those greeting cards that play music when you open them.
Who hasn't felt this way after a break-up ? After wallowing in self-pity for awhile , the next stage is to be pissed off. Harry expressed that perfectly with this song.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The most perfect break up song ever made! Harry Nillson, one of the most talented singer/songwriters in history.
yes, this song puts it all in to perspective. thank-you daddy for all the wonderful music you exposed me to as a youngster.... btw, this is dedicated to you matt
Love this song. Just about says it all about a bad break up. Everyone thinks Cee Lo is so controversial for his song, but this was recorded in the early 70's. So fuck you Cee Lo.
@Teesdale007 They influenced each other. Nilsson and Lennon were close friends. John Lennon produced Harry's "Pussycats" album and the cover shows their heads on kitty bodies. During Lennon's infamous "lost weekend" he and Nilsson were tossed from a club for heckling the Smothers Brothers.
The song was published in 1948. Though credited to Pat Genaro and Sunny Skylar, the song is just an American version of the famous Italian song 'Mattinata' written by Ruggero Leoncavallo in the beginning of 20th century.
I'm waititing, loudmouth. You're right on top of people you think are "wrong". Put up or shut the fuck up with your pathetic little wiki-searches, sweet pea.
Used to hear this almost every day on, of all stations, for those of you familiar, KRLA, in Los Angeles, as I drove to and from UCLA. They said at the time that John Lennon performed on this recording, as well, but I don't know if that is true.
I liked Cee Lo's F**k You, but Nilsson's just really can make a tune that any type of singer can sing. Nilsson was a true talent, it's sad that Bob Dylan hogs all the spotlight for great writing, cause Harry Nilsson really made a lot of great songs.
First this was written wa-a-a-a-a-y before Cee-lo was even born. Yeah, admittedly the Cee-lo song is good. But this isn't just saying Fuck you for Fuck you's sake. This is was considered THE breakup song of the 70's, unless you've had your feelings stomped on like a narc at a biker rally, you might not "connect" with the vememous feeling this song's projecting, but to call Harry Nilsson "stupid" is undermining the intelligence I assume you have. Plus he was The Beatles favorite songwriter. THERE
Last Thursday I watched the documentary "Who is Harry Nilsson? (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)" it is so interesting so many things I did not know about him. He was Pure Genious. First time I ever heard this song, I was a sophomore in high school.
Nothin' against the guy, I can even admit that it came first than Cee Lo Green's F**k You, but we can't even compare Cee Lo's voice with this guy's voice, I mean, Harry's voice is great, but Cee Lo's voice is like heaven-sent.
are you retarded? seriously, so absolutely retarded that you are saying that. to be clear, Nilsson has a grammy for best male performance for Everybody's Talkin, theme of Midnight Cowboy. He is regarded as one the best and most innovative vocalists around, never mind his song writing. His vocals on THIS recording are not great my any means, but before you say retarded shit, maybe do a little research.
@DogBoneRanch idiot is the tech term, retards are retards. whatever the word we call them eventually becomes offensive. The word moron, along with others including, "idiotic,"imbecilic,"stupid," and feeble-minded," was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, but it is now deprecated in use by psychologists because people like you have a retard nephew and think you are somehow 'special" like him. ive got one too, i only get offended at people acting like it matters
its so fucking dumb to say that any musician is better than another. & your ignorance shines even brighter as you argue on youtube, clogging up the comments with name calling.
Man definitely pre PMRC & Tipper Gore & the bullshit censorship of music this is the quintessential breakup song everyone needs this song in their collection of music it is good for all breakup occasions I know some music can be pretty fowl but I do miss the days when you could say what you wanted in a song & not hear a frigging bleep on the radio thanks for posting it.
One of my favorite Nilsson songs, LOL! Seriously, Harry Nilsson was such a marvelous musician. All the vocals are his; he never used backup singers (that I know of). If you haven't seen the documentary about him, I highly recommend it. "Who is Harry Nilsson (and Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?"
You know, lean back and listen, then imagine this: picture Harry and Joe Walsh doing this song! In parts of this, Harry's singing has that...ah...Walshness to it, and if you listen to some of Joe's stuff, you can almost hear Harry. Hey, it's just my opinion. But think about it. Anyhow, 35 years ago, I couldn't even say the "F" word. Then I heard this song. Been going down hill ever since!! Thanks, Harry, and be at rest. I know what you'd be saying to me: "F" YOU!!

Nothin' against the guy, I can even admit that it came first than Cee Lo Green's F**k You, but we can't even compare Cee Lo's voice with this guy's voice, I mean, Harry's voice is great, but Cee Lo's voice is like heaven-sent.

@GodSeekerPW
are you retarded? seriously, so absolutely retarded that you are saying that. to be clear, Nilsson has a grammy for best male performance for Everybody's Talkin, theme of Midnight Cowboy. He is regarded as one the best and most innovative vocalists around, never mind his song writing. His vocals on THIS recording are not great my any means, but before you say retarded shit, maybe do a little research.

@DogBoneRanch idiot is the tech term, retards are retards. whatever the word we call them eventually becomes offensive. The word moron, along with others including, "idiotic,"imbecilic,"stupid," and feeble-minded," was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, but it is now deprecated in use by psychologists because people like you have a retard nephew and think you are somehow 'special" like him. ive got one too, i only get offended at people acting like it matters

its so fucking dumb to say that any musician is better than another. & your ignorance shines even brighter as you argue on youtube, clogging up the comments with name calling.

All the respect in the world to Cee Lo but at least give some credit to one of the most underrated artist of all time Harry Nilsson

Man definitely pre PMRC & Tipper Gore & the bullshit censorship of music this is the quintessential breakup song everyone needs this song in their collection of music it is good for all breakup occasions I know some music can be pretty fowl but I do miss the days when you could say what you wanted in a song & not hear a frigging bleep on the radio thanks for posting it.

One of my favorite Nilsson songs, LOL! Seriously, Harry Nilsson was such a marvelous musician. All the vocals are his; he never used backup singers (that I know of). If you haven't seen the documentary about him, I highly recommend it. "Who is Harry Nilsson (and Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?"

You know, lean back and listen, then imagine this: picture Harry and Joe Walsh doing this song! In parts of this, Harry's singing has that...ah...Walshness to it, and if you listen to some of Joe's stuff, you can almost hear Harry. Hey, it's just my opinion. But think about it. Anyhow, 35 years ago, I couldn't even say the "F" word. Then I heard this song. Been going down hill ever since!! Thanks, Harry, and be at rest. I know what you'd be saying to me: "F" YOU!!
