 Originally released on the Bell Records label, the composer hated the Tony Orlando arrangement so severely (see "Sweet Life") that, as Manilow has said in numerous subsequent interviews, he was appreciative of the fact that the song went nowhere on the charts.However, he has been quoted in recent years as having somewhat softened his opinion of the track, saying it's "kind of catchy".Featuring a bubblegum pop beat, cowbells and a "Knock Three Times" feel, the chorus is the same, but the original verse lyrics have nothing to do with the hit version Manilow himself released in 1973 and again in 1975.
