Mr Big : “Romeo“ (1976) • Official Music Video • Subtitle Lyrics Option

Please note: I have now made a new improved version of this video, which has superior audio quality. It also has slightly better picture quality, but the audio quality is the most important improvement. Here is the link: I am currently leaving this older one online, as it has been very popular and had lots of views and comments, but at some point in the future I will probably remove it. ____________________________________________________________ • Official Music Video • Subtitle Lyrics Option • Standard Volume Level • Lyrics Transcript Provided Below This video contains optional subtitles for the lyrics, and these can be activated and deactivated by simply clicking on the “CC“ button beneath the video. The source video I used to create this video is no longer online. It was the best-quality upload of this music video I could find online. I have replaced the audio track with a higher-quality, full-length one. The original audio track on this music video fades out ten seconds earlier than the single and album track and in my opinion it sounds awful, so I wanted my video to have the missing ten seconds included. To accompany those ten seconds, I have put up on screen a picture of the single as released in Germany. Replacing the audio track involved slowing the footage down slightly, as it was running a bit too fast compared to the audio track I am using. I have also cropped the edges of the video picture, just enough to clean them up. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics. This song was written by Jeffrey Robert Dicken and Edward Carter. These are the two lead singers of the song. At the time, Jeffrey was known simply as Dicken, and he was later known as Jeff Pain, but these days he calls himself Jeffrey Robert Dicken, and he has a YouTube channel which is currently called Jeffrey Robert, which can be found here: @jeffrey1950 This track was produced by Val Garay, and was released in 1976. It is usually considered to have been released in 1977, but the Discogs website documents releases of it as a single in the USA and Canada in 1976, and pictures of these can be seen here: = = According to Wikipedia, this single reached No. 4 in their native UK, despite a temporary ban by the BBC, and reached No. 24 in the Netherlands, No. 44 in Australia and No. 87 in the USA. For more information on this song and track, see these pages: Big (British band)&title=Special:Search This band are not to be confused with the American band of the same name. This band are English and formed two decades before the American band did, and started using the name 16 years before the American band did. Sometimes the two bands are distinguished by having their name spelt differently, with the English band having no dot (Mr Big) and the American band having a dot (Mr. Big). The fact that the American band formed so much later means that they are clearly guilty of stealing another band’s name, and of having no respect for music history. This is not the case with either of the two different bands known as The Spinners, as both bands formed at approximately the same time in the 1950s. Apart from the video you are now watching and the new improved version of it, I currently have one other video featuring Mr Big, and it’s this: Mr Big : “Señora“ (1978) • Unofficial Music Video • HQ Audio • Subtitle Lyrics Option The transcripts of the lyrics to this song that I have seen on lyrics websites have all got some of the words wrong. An official presentation of the lyrics to this song is to be found printed on the inner sleeve of the 1977 album “Mr Big“, a picture of which can be seen here: == The words presented there are not exactly the same of those that are sung, and do not include much punctuation. Presented as a pinned comment below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used that official presentation as a guide.
