Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - "The Night" - it was a top 10 hit! The drama! The bass! The chorus! It's AWESOME! And - it is where something like 80% of Pulp's style was obviously lifted from - srsly! Even that moody little breakdown bit after the chorus.

EDIT: Apparently Pulp covered it - only fair I think! If anyone's got that then I'd like to hear it - thanks.
