"It Can Happen" is a song by the progressive rock band Yes, from their 1983 album ''90125''. It was released as the third single from that album, reaching number 51 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in 1984. It also reached number 5 on the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock chart. == History == Following the 1981 breakup of the band, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White joined with South African guitarist Trevor Rabin to form a new band, called Cinema. An early version of song "It Can Happen", sung by Squire, was written and recorded during this time. Squire, White and Rabin eventually joined forces with former Yes members Jon Anderson, Tony Kaye and Trevor Horn, changing the name of their new band Cinema to "Yes" in the process. Anderson rewrote the lyrics of "It Can Happen" and it was included in ''90125'', with Anderson singing the verses.〔 The Cinema version of the song was released on 1991's ''Yesyears'' box set, and later on the remastered version of ''90125''. The version sung by Anderson was released as a single in 1984, and was included in several later Yes compilations, including the ''In a Word: Yes (1969–)'' box set and ''The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection''. A video for the song is included in the ''Greatest Video Hits'' DVD, and a live performance appears in the ''9012Live'' concert video. The dialogue that can be heard under the guitar solo - about 3 minutes and 13 seconds in - on the ''90125'' version, is taken from ''The Importance of Being Earnest'' by Oscar Wilde. The lines, "...Come, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once...." and "...that is exactly what dentists always do. Now, go on! Tell me the whole thing" are spoken by the character ''Algernon Moncrieff'', in the play. 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「It Can Happen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
