It's not that he could not remember the right words. I feel he intentionally changes words in his live songs to show he's not lip-synching from a recording. Every performance of his songs have different words here and there.
I heard him sing this song live and the words he used then were different from what you heard here. My first reaction to hearing it was---he changed the words---but I feel it's okay...he sang the original, he can do whatever he wants with it singing live.
I love this vid! Not to mention how much I love this song! How gr8 2 c them perform it live. And they so seem 2 b enjoying every minute. That's class. This song does something 2 me. It's sad, but so upbeat. Only Frankie & the 4 seasons could do this. GREAT! ABSOLUTELY GREAT!
Incredible tune. But Frankie could not remember the right words in the opening verse!

There's a really nice article out on the web about the history of Opus 17 from Denny Randell, the man that wrote it.
Youtube won't let me paste the link.
But if you search Google for "Is Opus 17 Classical" along with the name "Randell & Schippers", you'll find it.

Where did the Title Opus 17 come from, because it took forever for me to find this song?
