3* CoveredUp: "I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am," a novelty song which originated in 1910.
4** "I'm Into Something Good," written by Gerry Goffin and Music/CaroleKing and originally recorded by Earl-Jean of The Cookies in 1964 (Herman's Hermits would record their version later that year).
5** "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat?", originally done by girl group Goldie and the Gingerbreads.
6** "The End of the World", originally a #1 hit for Skeeter Davis in 1963.
7* EpicRiff: "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" may have the cutest Epic Riff of all time.
8* FanNickname: Fans of Peter Noone lovingly call themselves "[[{{Pun}} Noonatics]]".
9* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: They had more Top 10 hits in America than in Britain, with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" being a #1 hit in the US while not even being released as a single in the UK. In fact, one reason Mickie Most signed them was because Peter Noone looked like a young UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy, which he figured would help them get an audience in America.
10* NewerThanTheyThink: "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" is not an old music hall song, as many people assumed (unlike "I'm Henry VIII, I Am"). It was written in 1963.
11* SignatureSong: Either "I'm Into Something Good" or "I'm Henry VIII, I Am." 60s pop lovers know all the words to both.
12* SongAssociation: "I'm Into Something Good" was prominently featured in ''Film/TheNakedGun,'' during Jane and Frank's first date. (It's a re-recording, but still!)
