the four seasons - how do you make a hit song lyrics

how do you make a hit song?
that’s what everyone wants to know
what makes a ‘this is it’ song?
that’s what we’re about to show you

how do you make a hit song?
a song that swings and comes on strong
everywhere we go people wanna know
how do you make a hit song?

you know we’ve been fortunate enough to have a couple of hits of our own
but we’ll never forget the first one
it sold two million copies and we called it… sherry
how it made that song a hit is very obvious
it was those wonderful high notes that frankie hits
it was that different sound that caught the public’s ear

that’s how you make a hit song!

you know, folks, bob is really a very humble person
i mean, he wrote the song, and that’s what did it
now, what good would my high notes be without a wonderful song like bob’s?

that’s how you make a hit song!

i beg to differ with you, gentlemen
a record often becomes a popular success because of some intangible quality
a drum beat, a scr+p of melody
and that’s why i say that at least half the sales of this record came from people who just sat and waited for nicky to sing his musical gem
“why don’t you come on?”

perhaps some of you missed it
may we hear it again, please?

“why don’t you come on?”

i can’t get enough of it

“why don’t you come on?”

a subtle gem

that’s how you make a hit song!

thank you for those kind words, tom, but you’re mistaken
you’re wrong, and you err
i err what?
you are the reason that sherry was a two million seller
you just…
i just what? you just put me on
no. you see, it was tom’s guitar introduction to sherry that really caught the public’s ear
without a magnificent guitar like tom’s n0body would have gotten as far as the chorus
you see, you gotta like it right away

that’s how you make a hit song!
wrong!

tom’s the star, his guitar, that intro was amazing
nick, that’s right, you gotta see the light because it really was your phrasing
that’s how you make a hit song, get a singer with some bounce
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
a hit song!
no, no, no, it’s the melody that counts!
no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

wait a second, i know it was the melody
it had to be the melody
it was the melody! it was the melody!
i love it, i love it!
i can tell you, it was the melody
it was the melody! it was the melody!

you know, tom, you’re absolutely right
yes, it was me
it was me
no, it was me
it was me
it was me
no, oh, oh, it was me
it was me
it was me
oh, no, oh, no, it was me
it was the singer, not the melody
sherry baby
you’re my baby, sherry
you’re my baby, sherry
sherry, you’re why i’m here tonight

don’t forget i composed it
all lies
my guitar opened and closed it
all lies
i’m the reason the public chose it
chose it

how do you make a hit song?
we don’t know
we don’t know
we don’t know
we were lucky!
