I heard it on the piped in music in a grocery story today. It was a female vocalist (possibly a group, but it seemed to just have one main singer), and the only line I could make out was ‘Oh, what a night!’ Did not sound to have anything remotely resembling the Four Seasons’ hit, and it sounded as thought it was more or less a recent song (last 10 years, maybe even last week, for all I know). Have at it! ---

I found this: [https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070122175339AAnzvCR](https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070122175339AAnzvCR) > [@](#): > > “Oh, What a Night” has been covered by Tracy Ullman (1983), Lester Bowie (1986), The Moonlighters (1988), Nick Kamen (1988), Barbrara Jones (1995), Donnie & the Del Chords (1999), and Unisoghn (2001). Does that help? ---

There’s [Oh What a Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwOfGvLT8w4) by Lil Jon - not female, but higher-pitched autotune voice. But I doubt you’d hear this in a grocery store. A more likely possibility is [Oh What a Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_9WaiZB1yQ) by Elle Varner. [What A Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LfsKB0HmH8) by Kat DeLuna references the Four Seasons’ version musically, but isn’t a cover. ---

The Dells had a song by that name, but that was an all-male group. Perhaps it was covered by others. ---

Do you think it could’ve been [this remix](http://www.songfacts.com/blog/writing/oh_what_a_night_how_the_70s_song_set_in_the_60s_became_a_hit_in_the_90s/) (actually, listen to it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWGiXHz0uYE)) ? I remember when it was popular in the early-to-mid 90s - they played it at my senior prom!
