This was it.
Those were the days.
These are probably five, six blocks right here.
This is where it was.
7th Broadway.
All on Broadway and 7th Avenue.
All the publishers, chapel music, all the songwriters,
everybody was concentrated in this area.
Where this song was born.
Oh, Denise, Denise, I'm in love with you.
Denise, Denise, I'm in love with you.
Denise, Denise, I'm in love with you.
Two grown men.
Singing about Denise.
See that?
Still got a full set up.
That [G]
[C] was Vinnie's [G] ex-girlfriend.
Denise, Denise, oh, when your eyes so blue.
[C] I've got a [G] crush on you.
[Em] Well, the name Randy and the Rainbows [G] was formed when we had Denise.
[C] That was it.
Made Denise and they [G] said your new name is Randy [C] and the Rainbows.
[Em] We didn't like the name, but then you had a hit record.
Who cared [Bm] what they called you?
You're [Em] 16 years old, a hit record.
[C] [Dbm]
[C] [G]
[C]
[Em] [G]
[C] This is the offices now of David Letterman, the [D] David Letterman show.
But up until the mid-90s, we were recording [Eb] here.
[Fm] [Db] World [Eb] Building, [Ab] you know, a part of 10 Pen Alley,
really goes back to [Em] the, you know, [Bb] the songwriters that came here [Am] from Europe,
the Gershwins and the Cole Porters [E] and the Irving Berlins
and Don Kirshner and [F] Sadaka [Em] and all the songwriters [Eb] that went up there to write.
It was a music building.
It was a total music building.
It was a music building, you know.
It was an iconic [F] place to be,
but that building was very important for a lot of songwriters.
A lot of hits came out of that building.
[Bb] Let's go in.
I'd like you to see the interior [N] of the building.
This is where we came if we were looking for material, you know,
or for me myself when I was trying to get signed when I first started out.
I hit almost every office here to try to get somebody to take some interest in the group, you know.
But it's really sort of depressing to see this building turn into how they changed.
It's kind of sad because this was [Ab] the Mecca.
The [Fm] Mr.
[Db] D's, [Eb] oh, you know [Ab] you're my guy.
The Mr.
[Db] D's, oh, [Eb] darling, kiss my [Ab] pride.
[Fm] The Mr.
[Db] D's, [F] I'm in love with you.
After [Ab] 64 and 65, [N] when the British invasion happened,
it was very tough to get our records on the air.
Yeah, it put us, well, it was a combination of President Kennedy getting assassinated
and then right after that, like six months, the Beatles were here.
And it like really killed [B] it completely for us.
Denise, Denise, [E]
how [Gb] are you?
[B] Denise, Denise, [E]
Denise, [B] Denise, [E]
[B] how are you?
You know, I'll never forget, Neil Levinson called me.
[F] Neil wrote Denise, [Eb] hello, Vinnie, I gotta [Gb] tell you something.
I said, what is it?
He said, a punk rock group did [E] Denise.
[B] And he plays it and he [E] gets on it and he goes, they ruined my song.
[B] So about a [E] year later I said to him, hey, Neil, [Db] did they [Gb] still ruin your song?
And he smiled [G] while he had the platinum records on [C] the wall.
Denise, [F] Denise, [G] oh, that's just [C] love.
Denise, Denise, [F]
oh, [G] just my chain of [C] love.
Denise, Denise, [F]
[G] oh, [C] that's [F] just [C] love.
[G] We [C] got a call.
[F] The agent [G] called us and said, [C] you're going to be playing a [F] punk room.
[C]
Yeah, really?
Yeah, they want an authentic 60s act and they want you guys.
[E] And that was the Mud Club, [Eb] which was very, very well known in those days.
A lot [D] of the [N] glitterati of the punk set hung out in that club.
And in between shows, I look out the window, I see [C] a silver stretch [E] limo pull up.
The club owner came [Bb] over to us and said, [F] Deborah Harry and Chris Stein from Blondie want to come down and see you guys tonight.
And the only guy said, you know, we gotta get your autograph.
She said, no, I'm not giving you my autograph.
[E]
What are you talking about?
She says, I'm getting your autograph.
We said, [G] get out of here.
She [C] says, no, you're not getting, I am getting your, and I'm not [F] leaving here until I [G] get it.
[C] And we, I was kind of stunned, you know, [D] we were stunned.
