8	Herman's Hermits were a [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishInvasion British Invasion]] band fronted by Peter Noone which recorded many hits of TheSixties, including but not limited to "I'm Into Something Good," "No Milk Today," and "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter." They also had three movies and released over five albums, selling a staggering eighty-million records, and they're still around to this day.

11	!!Tropes:
12	* BreakupSong: The minor-[[{{Scales}} key]] "No Milk Today."
13	* CoverVersion: Several, including "I'm Into Something Good" (originally by Earl-Jean), "Silhouettes" (originally by the Rays),"Wonderful World" (originally by Music/SamCooke), and "Dandy" (originally by Music/TheKinks).
14	* HappilyMarried: Peter has been married to Mirelle Strasser since 1968.
15	* HaveAGayOldTime: "The company was gay" from "No Milk Today".
16	* IAmTheBand: Peter Noone.
17	* LyricalDissonance: "I'm Henry VIII, I Am", which is about a guy who just married ([[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter obliviously]]) an apparent BlackWidow with some very specific tastes in men.
18	* MinisculeRocking: Of particular note is "I'm Henry VIII, I Am", which is 1:50 long. It is one of the shortest songs to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
19	* NobodyLovesTheBassist: In this case, Nobody Loves The ''Guitarist'', as Derek "Lek" Leckenby was ''very'' put down as a guitarist during the years of their fame. It's only now that Lek is getting some love from critics and new fans as a very competent guitarist indeed.
20	* OlderThanTheyLook: Peter's boyish good looks stayed around for years after his teen years and even now, he's in his mid seventies but [[https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/dish-ct-bakery-peter-noone-herman-s-hermits-17885193.php can easily pass for decades younger.]]
21	* SillyLoveSongs: The Hermits could rival the best of them in this department.
22	* SingleStanzaSong: "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". Lampshaded within the song itself:
23	-->''Second verse, same as the first!''
24	* SmallReferencePools: Outside of the fan-base, one might only know "I'm Into Something Good". You could also call it their SignatureSong.
