December 1963 (Oh What A Night)

The Four Seasons

Oh, what a night
Late December back in sixty three
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night

Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night

Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night, hypnotizin' mesmerizing me
She was ev'rything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night

I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under

Oh, what a night

Oh, I, I got a funny feelin' when she walked in the room
And my, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night

Oh I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and takin' my body under
Oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, oh what a night

    According to wikipedia: "The song was originally about the repeal of Prohibition, but the lyrics were changed at the urgings of Valli and lyricist Parker. The song became a nostalgic remembrance of a young man's "first time" with a woman. In the Broadway play Jersey Boys, the song accompanied the Bob Gaudio character being set up with a prostitute by the other Four Seasons, in order to lose his virginity." The scene was rather funny in Jersey Boys.

    Hm, I can't believed no one's reviewed this song. Yeah, it's old and all, but it's just one of those songs that make you feel good.

    Great song! I think it's pretty self explanatory as to what the song is referring to.

    I'm pretty sure it's about a guy losing his virginity. And it was late December, 1963. Fabulous!

    This song is awsome. The guy it's about has sex the first time with a prostitute and how it changed him. In the musical "Jersey Boys", which is about the Four Seasons, the song begins: "It's a season of firsts: John Glenn is the first American to orbit the moon, the lable's raking in in so they send over a few girls when we hit Chicago. And that night... I rack up a personal first...."
