SONGS WITH UNEXPECTED

TWISTS

1972

CLAIR

GILBERT O’SULLIVAN

Initially, the lyrics suggest this is a love song about two adults. Verses later reveal that the “Clair” in the song title is in fact a little girl. The child that inspired the hit song is said to be the 3-year old daughter of Gilbert O’Sullivan’s manager, Gordon Mills. As the track continues, the singer / songwriter recounts how much he enjoys the times he babysits little Clair. She has him wrapped around her finger.
