Posted January 23, 200718 yr Following on from Gene-Rs thread about Betty Turner, I was pottering about on BMI and found this.... https://repertoire.bmi.com/Title.asp?blnWri...uerytype=WorkID I guess when Grapevine/RCA released this in the 7Ts, they thought 'Chitter Chatter' sounded a bit waff and took a portion of the lyrics and hey presto 'Say it isn't so' was born....eeeh, you can't trust anyone these days Jo
