Known more often for this song than any other, Nilsson won his first Grammy award for a song he did not write– his cover of Fred Neil’s “Everybody’s Talkin’,” which was later famously featured in the film Midnight Cowboy.

“Me and My Arrow” from The Point!, a concept album about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in a pointed village, where by law everyone and everything had to have a point. Written by Harry Nilsson, it was later turned into both an animated film (seen here), and a musical.
“I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, ‘Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it.’” – Harry Nilsson
Harry Nilsson performs “Jump Into the Fire” (with Keith Moon) in the film Son of Dracula, produced by and also starring Ringo Starr.
Plot Synopsis: “Due to be crowned King of the Netherworld by his mentor Merlin the Magician at a monster’s convention, Count Downe, the son of Count Dracula, falls in love with the beautiful but human Amber and finds himself in conflict with Baron Frankenstein who is vying for the same honorary title.”
I was 12 the first time I came to New York City and I saw all this scaffolding in Times Square and I said, “Mom what’s all that construction?” and she said “They’re building the city.”
And I was like, “When will they be done?” and she said “Never.”
And she was right because this stupid city will never be done.
