BADFINGER - Come And Get It (1970)

HQ sound - enjoy it! "Come and Get It" was the name of a song composed by Paul McCartney for the film The Magic Christian, and made popular by the group Badfinger.


Lyrics:
If you want it, here it is come and get it
Mmmm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, anytime I can give it
But you better hurry cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money
If you want it, here it is come and get it
But you better hurry cause it's going fast

If you want it, here it is come and get it,
Mmmm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, anytime I can give it
But you better hurry cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money

Sonny, if you want it, here it is come and get it
But you better hurry cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry cause it's going fast
Fool and his money

Sonny, if you want it, here it is come and get it
But you better hurry cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry cause it's going fast


Badfinger was a rock band formed in Swansea, Wales in the early 1960s who became one of the earliest representatives of the post-60s power pop genre. During the early 1970s the band was at times tagged as the heir apparent to The Beatles, partly because of their close working relationship with them and partly because of their similar sound. The band had four consecutive worldwide hit songs and contributed "Without You," a Number One Billboard hit for Harry Nilsson which was covered by hundreds of artists. Badfinger's two principally-known singers and songwriters, Pete Ham and Tom Evans committed suicide in 1975 and 1983.

After Badfinger's recording contract with Apple lapsed, band members entrusted their financial affairs to American businessman Stan Polley. Echoing the Beatles' own story, internal squabbling, artistic differences and alleged financial mismanagement ensued and eventually led to the bands' demise. Subsequent attempts to reform Badfinger at various times over the following decade floundered, due in large part to the earlier suicides of Pete Ham and Tom Evans, the band's main creative force.

An underrated rock band. Should've been huge.

I always thought this McCartney composition sounded like it could have fit on his 1980's album, Flowers in the Dirt.

@puckle3 Hurp de durp dude think I didn't know that. You shouldn't assume things.

[puckle3]

@boxman91210 and badfinger also did it, catch up on your history

The chorus sounds a little bit like "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" but only a little bit, at least to me anyways. And I think it's strange that Paul McCartney gets full songwriting credit to this song, but "Goodbye" by Mary Hopkin is credited to Lennon-McCartney even though both songs were written around the same time and both completely written by Paul. Strange...

@hns123192 ...Get it quick...I was there when my older sister proclaimed BadFinger the new "Beatles"..I got into Badfinger after I had my "Beatle" moments later in life....The Best of Badfinger is one of my all time favorites..I love turning on some of my younger friends to the somewhat forgotten great Brit. Band.
