If, You're So Terrific

A glorious Paul Fierlinger rendering from 1975-1977 TEC. The song is sung by Judy. This may be Joe Raposo's most defining work - every element of it fully illustrates what was his wonderful, sparkling and catchy songwriting style. I've often wondered if the inspiration for it came to him after a marital or work argument where somebody implied themselves terrific, and Raposo might have shot back, "Well, IF you're so terrific, then..."

And his genius perhaps did the rest?

Thanks again to Nantoreturns for helping me with this clip! :D
