Harry Nilsson-"Gotta Get Up" (BBC-1971) (2/7)

Harry's 2nd number from his wonderful BBC television special from 1971. "Gotta Get Up" is the opening number from his smash album from that same year, "Nilsson Schmilsson," and was one of many songs he wrote about starting a new day after a late night, a subject which he apparently knew a lot about.

All the Beatles loved him there is a great quote about George Harrison at Harry's funeral when asked what his favourite Nilsson song was...

"pound her for a few days" . Awesome like "do goody good bullshit"

[MAMsMom97]

@vurnt22 I know, right? Epic... in a sneaky, not underhanded, sort of way.

@spirtw72 More likely is that they had the same influences.

@spirtw72 Excellent observation. I was thinking about the same thing.
