Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".
The Laughter In the Rain Songfacts says Sedaka's hits dried up when The Beatles arrived, but then he teamed up with the lyricist Philip Cody and had a a number 1 hit with "Laughter In The Rain." It re-ignited Sedaka's career and he had 6 more Top-40 hits in America by 1977.
Sedaka's voice is in the tenor range.
Circulate
Neil Sedaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then let me set you straight,
If your chick's flown the coop, knocked the blues for a loop,
Get out and circulate.
Go on out and have fun, put the blues on the run,
You'll find that living is great,
Just pretend you're a king, balance the world on a string,
There are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
Shopping around for a mate,
Hurry on up, waste no time,
Come on in, the water's fine.
It's a star spangled world, when your flags are unfurled
Don't underestimate,
This advice that I give, it means wake up and live,
Get out and circulate.
There are plenty of pebbles on the beach,
Go out and gather a few,
You can be the cat's meow,
Start your rock-collection now.
It's a star spangled world, when your flags are unfurled
Don't underestimate,
This advice that I give, it means wake up and live,
Get out and circulate.
It's a world full of chicks, so get out and mix,
I said that life's worth living
So I get your kicks.
Get out and circulate.
Neil Sedaka’s song “Circulate” is a positive and motivating take on heartbreak. The song encourages the listener to get over their misery and move on by going out into the world, having fun and interacting with people. The lyrics convey a sense of optimism and freedom, urging the listener to break free of their sorrows and circulate among the world's people. The first verse highlights the feeling of loss that comes with a breakup and dispenses with the notion that wallowing in sadness is the only solution. Instead, the listener is encouraged to put the blues on the run and experience all that life has to offer. The second verse relates this advice to the larger world, urging the listener to be active and live life to the fullest.
The song was recorded in 1961 by Neil Sedaka, a popular American pop singer, songwriter and pianist. He was born in 1939 in Brooklyn, New York and began his career as a songwriter in the 1950s. Sedaka is known for his upbeat and catchy pop tunes, including “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” “Laughter in the Rain,” and “Calendar Girl”. “Circulate” is from his third album, “Neil Sedaka Sings Little Devil and His Other Hits,” which was released in 1961.
