Heard of it? I wrote that shiz!




































or not. wink Looked it up and saw that Michael Omartian wrote it. That gives it potential in my book. Back to the Cavs game for me!

"You'd better get used to it,

'Cause I'll be around...."
music


It reminds me of...well, Somewhere between George Duke's 1978 hit, "Movin On", and the part of the Doobie Bros.' "What A Fool Believes"...

I know that song! It's on one of my numerous 70s compilations ("Have A Nice Day:Super Hits Of The 70s Volume 25).

I'll be around you,baby
because I'm crazy bout you
I'll be around you,baby
because I can't live without you
I'll be around you baby
cause I'm hungry for your looovvvve....ooovvvve

It's a light,breezy,late 70s pop/rock song...not unlike "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers,or "Couldn't Get It Right" by the Climax Blues Band.If you like those two songs,you will love "Get Used To It".

paligap & DavidEye's explanations were very good.
It's interesting that they both used the Doobies to describe it.
Based on the rhythmic keyboard figure, i'd have to agree.

It's nothing special...

~ Cool keyboard hook.
~ A nice melody
~ A bridge
~ A modulation

...hmmm On second thought, based on current Pop tunes, maybe it is something special. cool

I haven't heard either of those. boxed I remember some Doobie Bros. song from the 80s, I think.
