"Oh! Carol" is an international hit written by Neil Sedaka in 1958. The song was co-written with Howard Greenfield. The song reached #9 in the American charts in 1959. It also earned Sedaka his first #1 ranking when it went to #1on the Italian charts for four weeks in January 1960. After release of single,it was included in the album Neil Sedaka Sings Little Devil and HisOther Hits. The song is noted for Sedaka's spoken recitation of the verse,the second time around.
At the time Sedaka produced the record, his second and third singles, "I Go Ape!" and "Crying My Heart Out For You" hadfared poorly on the charts, and RCA Victor was ready to drop him from their label, but producer Al Nevins persuaded the RCA executives to give Sedaka one last chance. Determined to create a hit song, Sedaka purchased the three top singles of the day and listened to them repeatedly, studying their melody, chord progression, and lyrical styles; and he found that they were very similar in structure. He then used this knowledge to create the song, "Oh! Carol"
Sedaka had dated Carole King when he was still at highschool, and she was still called Carol Klein, so he used her name; Gerry Goffin – King's husband – took the tune, and wrote the playful response"Oh! Neil", which King recorded and released as an unsuccessful single the same year (1958).
Sedaka also recorded a Hebrew-language version of "Oh!Carol"' which was written by Chaim Kaynan. It has been covered by other artists in other languages as well.
The B-side song, "One Way Ticket", also earned Sedakaa #1 ranking in Japan for several months in 1960, where it was affectionately known as "The Choo-Choo Train Song".
“ 哦！卡罗尔 ”是尼尔·塞达卡（NeilSedaka）1958年创作的国际流行歌曲。这首歌与霍华德·格林菲尔德（HowardGreenfield）共同创作。这首歌在1959年在美国排行榜中排名第9。在1960年1月连续4周在意大利排行榜中排名第1时，Sedaka也获得了他的第一个排名。在发行单曲之后，它被收录在专辑Neil中。塞达卡（Sedaka）唱“小魔鬼”和他的其他热门歌曲。这首歌是塞达卡第二次朗诵经文而闻名。
当时Sedaka制作了第二张和第三张单曲“ IGo Ape！”。和“ 为您哭泣的心 ”在排行榜上表现不佳，RCAVictor准备将他从他们的唱片中删除，但制片人AlNevins劝说RCA高管给Sedaka最后一次机会。Sedaka决定创作一首热门歌曲，因此购买了当天的三首单曲，并反复听着他们的音乐，研究他们的旋律，和弦进行度和抒情风格。他发现它们的结构非常相似。然后，他利用这些知识创作了歌曲“Oh！Carol”。
塞达卡（Sedaka）还是卡罗尔·金（CaroleKing）还在读高中时就和他约会，但她仍被称为卡罗尔·克莱因（CarolKlein），所以他使用了她的名字。金的丈夫格里·高芬（GerryGoffin）乐在其中，并写下了俏皮的回应“哦！尼尔”（Oh！Neil），金在同年（1958年）录制并发行失败，成为单曲。
Sedaka还录制了由ChaimKaynan撰写的希伯来语版本的“哦！卡罗尔”。它也已被其他语言的其他艺术家所报道。
B面的歌曲“ OneWay Ticket ”（单程票）在1960年的几个月中也使Sedaka在日本排名第一，在那儿它被亲切地称为“ The Choo-Choo Train Song”。
