By Neil Sedaka. By Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody. Arranged by Kevin Riley. 20th Century,Pop. 28 pages. Kevin Riley #685932. Published by Kevin Riley (A0.1081805).The song was released on Elton John's Rocket Records. After hearing a version of "Laughter in the Rain" by singer Lea Roberts on the radio several weeks before the planned release of his single, Sedaka phoned Elton John to have MCA Records rush the Sedaka version to release within five days. The opening chord of the chorus was based on that used by John in "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", which Sedaka has described as a "drop-dead chord." He combined that with a pentatonic melody inspired by Aaron Copland. Cody claims to have written the lyrics in about five minutes after smoking marijuana and falling asleep under a tree for a couple of hours.
