"Why Did It Have To Be Me?" and "Happy Hawaii"
"Why Did It Have to Be Me?" was originally recorded as "Happy Hawaii" on 26 April 1976 at Metronome Studio. "Happy Hawaii" was originally meant to be unreleased, but was eventually used as the b-side to "Knowing Me, Knowing You". After the melody had slightly been reworked it was re-recorded as the song "Why Did It Have to Be Me?" (which had also been the original working title), and included on Arrival.
