December, 1963 [Jersey Boys]
Jersey Boys Soundtrack · Jersey Boys [Soundtrack] [2005]
Late December back in '63.
What a very special time for me,
'Cause 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 feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon.
Oh, what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me.
She was everything I dreamed she'd be.
Sweet surrender, what a night!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night!
Oh, I. I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
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!
I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under.
Oh, what a night! (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)
Oh, what a night! (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)
Oh, what a night! (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)
December, 1963 [Jersey Boys]
This track serves as the thematic anchor for the 2005 film *Jersey Boys*, capturing the pivotal moment when the Four Seasons' lead singer, Dickie David, was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend. The song, originally recorded by The Four Seasons in 1963, was reimagined here with a full ensemble of R&B and soul musicians to reflect the raw energy and emotional weight of the era. Its inclusion in the soundtrack highlights the dramatic tension surrounding the group's rise to fame and the personal tragedies that threatened to derail their careers. The recording blends classic rock and roll with soulful instrumentation, offering a nostalgic yet dramatic portrayal of mid-1960s music culture.
