How on *earth* had I never heard this before?

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.

Also the reformed Soft Cell, and Intastella. The latter is probably my favourite version - not that I love the band in general, but the song seems more sincere from girl to girl, less like a veiled effort to get in there by the singer under the cover of friendship.
