YMMV / Herman's Hermits

Go To


  • Covered Up: "I'm Henry The Eighth, I Am," a novelty song which originated in 1910.
    • "I'm Into Something Good," written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and originally recorded by Earl-Jean of The Cookies in 1964 (Herman's Hermits would record their version later that year).
    • "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat?", originally done by girl group Goldie and the Gingerbreads.
    • "The End of the World", originally a #1 hit for Skeeter Davis in 1963.
  • Epic Riff: "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" may have the cutest Epic Riff of all time.
  • Fan Nickname: Fans of Peter Noone lovingly call themselves "Noonatics".
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: 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 John F. Kennedy, which he figured would help them get an audience in America.
  • Newer Than They Think: "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.
  • Signature Song: Either "I'm Into Something Good" or "I'm Henry VIII, I Am." 60s pop lovers know all the words to both.
  • Song Association: "I'm Into Something Good" was prominently featured in The Naked Gun, during Jane and Frank's first date. (It's a re-recording, but still!)
