B.J. Thomas: “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song”

If you think “Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” is long and cumbersome song title, you should see “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict.” However, it is the longest-titled #1 charting song to date.

(Deep breath…) “(Hey Won’t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” was B. J. Thomas’ second #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, his other being “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.” He also scored many #1s on the Adult Contemporary and Country charts, being something of a cross-genre sensation. Still, this hit came after a long period of waning (though still considerable) popularity.

According to the biography on his site, B. J. Thomas was about ready to settle to a home life with his wife and three daughters in recent decades, but his songs kept popping up in odd places. Like, for instance, “Raindrops” in the film Spider-Man 2, which gave him the idea to look into the Internet market – where he discovered millions of fans he’d barely known he had.

Lyrics

It’s lonely out tonight
And the feeling just got right for a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song

Hey, won’t you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So please, play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin’ song about a love that’s gone wrong
‘Cause I don’t wanna cry all alone

Hey, won’t you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So please, play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry
A real hurtin’ song about a love that’s gone wrong
‘Cause I don’t wanna cry all alone

Hey, won’t you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

Hey, won’t you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

Hey, won’t you play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby
