I recently recorded the 5th Dimension version of the song which is quite depressing to be honest. It just makes you sad! I’ll share it soon, but I wanted this version to come out first which was the better version of this great Jimmy Webb song! It’s got a great outro which really makes the song work! This is a revisited cover with the big concert tom drum kit! It’s back! I hope you enjoy!
“Worst That Could Happen" is a song with lyrics and music written by singer-songwriter Jimmy Webb. Originally recorded by the 5th Dimension on their 1967 album of nearly all-Jimmy Webb songs, The Magic Garden, "Worst That Could Happen" was later recorded by the Brooklyn Bridge and reached the Billboard Hot 100's top 40, at #38 on January 4, 1969, peaking at #3 on February 1-8, 1969.
Overview
The song tells about a man wishing well to a woman with whom he is still in love, but because the man was unwilling to settle down, she left him and is about to marry someone else who is more stable; the singer accepts the marriage but still feels that it is "the worst (thing) that could happen to (him)". It has been stated that, along with "MacArthur Park" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Worst That Could Happen" is about a relationship that Webb had with a woman named Susan.
The song quotes Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" from the incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream at the end.
The Brooklyn Bridge version appeared on the list of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001, attacks.[4]
