Gilbert O'Sullivan - Out Of The Question

[patybear]

omg,i had forgotten about this song until I watched the video entitled,"Gilbert O' Sullivan Utrecht 14 March 2011".Once i started listening to it,the tune came back to me(in case you're wondering-yes,I'm old enought to remember when it was current).I've forgotten some of the lyrics,though. Pianobillf:I agree with you.He sounds more like McCartney than McCartney

does. patybear

Reminds me of the mid 80s, my sister and I were brushing our teeth at night and singing this song, but we wouldn't say the word "hell" so we'd insert a random word that had to do with our current activity--toothpaste, water, etc. How silly of us! It was our mom's music, that's why we even know the song.

brilliant what a great song this is

[centralparocker]

Sorta catchy....

[pianobillf]

He sounded more like McCartney than McCartney did!

[mrshinyshoes]

Why can't they make great songs like this anymore? Strong, pleasant, original melodies----that's what I miss! 

[TheEctomorph]

Classic track by Gilbert O'Sullivan from the early 1970's (one of many, i might add).

One of the things I like about this song is that it highlights the fact that birds behave just as badly (if not worse) than blokes, when it comes to love and sex !!

I had this song stuck in my head, but only the last part. Now I have it all! appreciate anyone who shares music.

@DaveWollenberg This was a US hit in 1993?? That was 20 years after release. Great song though.

[DaveWollenberg]

@starchaser77 LOL! My bad! I meant '73!

[MoosicandCritters]

Ah, I remember when this song was released when I was in 6th grade. Went out with my allowance and bought the "45" and almost wore it out! Thank you for posting this beautiful oldie!

[CarlHalling]

My poor brothers and sister know every single word to this song due to the number of times I played it as a teenager....I played this song at our last family gathering and we all began to immediately sing along...so much fun, laughter and pleasant memories..thank you Gilbert!

Beautiful!!

[blujay01]

This is one of my favorite songs by him.

[ATamandua]

Starguard, I used to bug my junior high "dj" spinning records in the lunchroom to play his records as well (except "Alone again" - that's a suicidal "Debbie Downer" of a song", IMO). "Claire" was greatness as well.

[starguard]

Back in the 70's I remember waiting by the radio for hours on end for them to play this song. Loved it then, and STILL love it now!!

[joebreak1]

God I loved this song when I was 9 and I still do 37 years later! Still have the 45!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #17 in Billboard. Did it chart in Ireland or the UK? God bless!

[kringles4]
