On That Note: Accidents Will Happen

[MeanDean]

Drifters version although a google search proves while Drifters had the original your version by Jay and the Americans ended up higher on the billboard charts.

I debated which to post. Usually I go with the original, but I have very fond memories of the Jay and the Americans version. So it won the day. This time.

Sticking with the McCartney thing in my head right now...

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash, he was gone, it happened so soon

 

[MeanDean]

One of those teen death/drama things that were kind of a thing back in the day.

Neanderthals developed tools

Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year

 

[pourcyne]

Gonna go there and see where the accidents take me...

There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

 

[cyclones500]

“She doesn’t know what happens when she’s around”

 

[cyclones500]

“Whatever happened to Mary?”

 

[pourcyne]

Didn't get very far with the accidents, so... (Mean Dean knows best):

Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen

 

[pourcyne]

All at once it happened
The prettiest in the world

Yes, but...everybody there was BARE. (and not by accident)

 

[cyclones500]

Another Frampton example (in lyrics)… For fun, the studio track, not the live version

“I can’t believe this is happening to me.”

 

[MeanDean]

Then it occurred to me, he'd grown up just like me.

Didn't get very far with the accidents, so... (Mean Dean knows best):

Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen

Um, not to rain on your disappointment, but "Accident" wasn't one of the synonyms for "happen." I see the confusion because I chose Accidents Will Happen as the thread title.

@cyclones500 predicted it. I should have listened.

(Second verse) “And now it’s happening to me”

Indeed. But since SOMEBODY nabbed all the good happenings...I won't say whom, so after scrounging my brain for lyrics, I was driven to this desperate measure...

Theme from What's Happening:

 

[Jammin’]

“I've been) feeling so much older
(Frame me) and hang me on the wall
(I've seen) you fall into the same trap
(This thing) is happening to us all”
