I grew up listening to the 4 Seasons, the 1st time I heard Sherry I was 11 yrs old n I havnt stopped playn their records or hearin them on my ipod, either way, listening to their great songs is a way of life for me. Four Seasons 4EVER man.
that kid is so lovely, so sweet and innocent, like a little lamb ruminating its grass...i wish it could stay like this forever, along with our youth...
@alberthammond18 ummm. 'quite a chew going on! Where's that child's instruction! if she understood that a million people are upon here and were!...I dunno! Double Bubble n Not In Trouble!
@jhunter1163 I'm a guitar player. I think the key changes what makes it a great song. It starts in the key of F# and shifts five times ending on B using Keys F# G Ab A Bb and B. Each key change fuels the song ever slightly faster building a feeling of excitement. The song is like a race car going down a quarter mile drag strip shifting threw the gears. It grabs your attention and keeps it to the end.
@WarrensWarriors Believe it or not, there's another Four Seasons tune that has even more fancy key changes than this one. On the flipside of "Big Man In Town" is a song called "Little Angel." Check out lorjim58's high fidelity upload of it on YouTube. The song has a bridge, followed by an instrumental break in which it just keeps modulating up and up and up until it finally arrives back at the original key. They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
The way that kid keeps chewing in time to the music is downright comical. If there had been a microphone near her face, her teeth might have added some extra percussion sounds.
@TheGarry3 She could be the child that ruined most sitcoms... Oh wait, that's NOT "Cousin Oliver" or Raven? :-) I DO love the song, though... always have (it was a hit quite a bit before I was born, but I DO have the album)...
Blimey! I never expected to see this one on here! Thank you x
If that little kiddie is indeed Francine, then it is too sad for words when he sings, "I'll be strong, I'll try to carry on," and then looks straight at her as he sings, "although I know it won't be easy when you're gone."
My dad used to sing this to me when I was a little girl and changed the lyrics to my nickname" Christy pie." Great song and great memories. Thanks for posting this!
I used to stay home from nursery school to watch Where The Action Is with my teenaged sister. Good times. Then I had this 45 with Beggar's Parade on the flipside. That was a rare, but good political song for the 4. This song brought a lot of happiness and dancing to my friends and me. The little girl in the video? She's just very nervous.
Must be a relative or something. If I was casting this video I certainly would not have picked her. She's chewing gum like a cow. She may as well have been picking her nose! LOL!!!

@WarrensWarriors It's unique all right, can't think of another song with that many key changes. Maybe OMD's "If You Leave". One of my favorites.
