Thanks Marv. I don’t recall the flip side . Do you know if it’s any good? I didn’t dislike the Happening but I didn’t much like it either.

You're welcome Luke. I thought "The Happening" was a great record, but I was just a kid. LOL! I don't remember the B-side either.

The flip was "All I Know About You." Cute song, but not much substance [[in my opinion).

And why did it just pop up on my shuffle? *cue Twilight Zone theme* :D

Yes, the writing credits for this, as with "The Happening", happen to be H-D-H and Frank Devol who was known for writing TV themes back in day for so many shows [[Family Affair, the Brady Bunch, My Three Sons, for example). I am inclined to believe that he might have been the major contributor to both songs due to the musical style and that "The Happening" was to be included for a movie, something out of the territory of HDH at the time. And, as mike-sku stated, "All I Know About You" is a cute song that was also not included on one of the 'regular' albums back in the day.

Also Ron Miller. Was a cowriter.
Not sure why he is uncredited. Andy can you explain the details.
The theme of the song is from the perspective of a baby...just being born as I recall.
At the time his daughter was born and he needed car fair home. BG told him write me a song I'll get you a ride.

I loved the flip, and called radio stations every night to vote it as my favorite song.
