When it was finished, he begged them not to release it.〔 "It was horrible, I was embarrassed by it. I still can't listen to that record."〔 This was also the song that was playing before the Emergency Broadcast System False Alarm of 1971 on WOWO. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
