Bien me gustó el vídeo. Pero quisiera saber, por favor, que significa "HUSH". En las emisoras de radio de aquí (Caracas-Venezuela) traducen el título de la canción como: Hay una especie de Silencio en el Mundo. Si mal no recuerdo esta canción también la interpretó ENGELBERT HUMPERDICK, un señor de origen Indú. Por favor, digánme si estoy en lo cierto o no. Gracias!!!! Saludos a todos!!!
they dont make em like this anymore , now its all about killing , sex , and drugs , really ...what has happened to our planet ? We are spiralling out of control .
On this date in 1967 {Feb. 11th} "There's A Kind of Hush" entered the Billboard Hot Top 100; eventually it would peak at #4 and spent 12 weeks in the Top 100...
The flip side of this record also charted, "No Milk Today", it reached #35...
Nine yers later in 1976 The Carpenters released their version and it made it to #12...
Ranked #50 on the Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1967 chart...
It would reach #3 in Australia and #7 on the U.K. Singles chart...
Happy Birthday Peter Noone to one of our favorite enterainers, My family and I met you when you performed with Davy Jones and Bobby Sherman at the teen idols concert. Thanks for the photograph and autographs From The Langzelli Family
My old history teacher, who was a Brother, used to take the school choir all over the country. Peter Noone saw them and said how impressed he was and offered them all kinds of help. My history teacher, who was pretty elderly, always said what a thoroughly decent young man Peter Noone was. He was most impressed by him. This may be the best song that HH did, there are some good ones to choose from mind. I've always had a soft spot for My Sentimental Friend. It depends on the mood I'm in.
@mgwilliams1000 Thanks for the response. It must have been so exciting to meet him. Too bad most entertainers these days aren't as decent as he is, although there are some. Your granddaughter has very good taste.
My husband and I went to see him at Casino Rama a few years back. I've been to many concerts over the years, but this one would have to rate in the top 3. I felt like I was 9 or 10 again. He still had the same smile and twinkling eyes that I remembered. Oh boy, doesn't this make me sound old, and I may be in years, but never will be in spirit, or in my heart.
@1Gabybear Same here. He played here in Fresno CA at an outdoor classic car event. Got to meet and talk to Peter Noone after that. What an outstanding individual, still loves to entertain people, and he gets the crowd involved. My 12 year old granddaughter was awed by him and now has all their music.... go and figure.
@mgwilliams1000 I am SO jealous. How did you get to meet him, did you have connections ?. Not that it matters now, my opportunity has come and gone. I'm not surprised that your granddaughter had that reaction, because any musician/singer with his infectious appeal and makes the kind of music which makes you really happy, is timeless. Just look at the Beatles or Rolling Stones, to name a couple. Talent and charisma never go out of style.
I was only a preteen when Herman's Hermits came onto the scene, but from the very first time I saw Peter Noone, I was in "love". I had the good fortune of seeing his and other bands in a show called the British Invasion (I think), like Gerry and the Pacemakers in Toronto, about 1976?. I saw him leave through the back entrance to the venue and was probably less than 10 ft. away from him, but couldn't get up the nerve to ask him for an autograph (I wouldn't be that shy now).
In 1964, The Herman's Hermits toured in the Philippines and played in Davao City. Our band the "Odds and Evens" composed of myself, two brothers, and a bass guitarist, was hired as the curtain raiser for their concert. They sang the hits Mrs. Brown, Listen People, and others; it was very memorable because they used our drums and PA's in performing but most importantly memorable is we met them personally!
This song reminds me of being walked home on a snowy moonlight night by a boy called Barry, I was freezing cold but in wonderland and wanted it never to end. I was 13 then and I thank God I was born in time to be young in the sixties - the best musical era ever. Fantastic memories!
Here's a place in time that society forgot. When music was cool, groovy & innocent. Lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled. Unlike today how media serves our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip-hop are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting in trouble with the law - WHAT kind of CRAP is that ?? Just citing how societal erosion is deteriorating the very fabric that holds us together.
When I was a senior high student, I was living in the Philippines. I liked this song very much. I saw a very charming girl in the same school and sang this song to her. She asked me to wait until she graduates from university in the Phillipines. I went back to the States and waited for her for a long time. We celebrated 43rd anniversary on July 1, 2011 in Las Vegas. I sang this song to her again.
@petersakurai3986 That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Godd on you Pete, you got the girl and a great story to tell when your having a beer with the boys. Nice one mate.
@petersakurai3986 .......Now, that's a very cool love story......Congrats!!!!.....At this point, you guys are to pass the 50th aniversary so fast you can't hardly notice it....
Happy New Year...Greetings to you from Tokyo, Japan. Thank you very much for the nice comment. We are still together. I always consider my wife part of my body. In Japan, Karaoke places are everywhere. I sang this song but not as goog as when I was in the Philippines years ago.
@petersakurai3986 .....Big LOL.....We,(my wife and I), did the same in Manila....She's from Philippines....Happy New Year to you and your family....We're in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, USA....We'll be in touch....

@anndchelt. How is the us different?? The only country to nuke another! The continous wars that you wage for your own ends! Look in your own back yard first.The pile of shit is overwhelming.The only thin you stand for is GREED!
@Merlin5by5 Point taken. I was speaking from a 15 yr old's perspective. I still don't understand what the summer of love and hippies had to do with world turmoil. The world is always in turmoil.
@Tonithenightowl You have every right to remember YOU summer of Love. You were a kid and music is better than anything else to help bring back memories of happy times in our own lives. I don't think you were trying to comment on world politics at that time... Sheesh! If I'm correct ...you were just fondly remembering YOUR teenage years.
@MizKitty1122 And you would be right lol. I was just walking down memory lane I wasn't being political.Some ppl can't find the good in anything and I think that's a real shame. Glad you are not one of them. :o)
@Tonithenightowl... umm perhaps you should brush up on your history. The comment " nearly started world war 2"... huh? As near as I can recall, and as all U.S./World history that I've heard of/read, it seems there WAS a World War 2. Go to school, go BACK to school, or STUDY while IN school. Don't rain on someone's parade when you haven't a clue as to what you're saying. And Merlin, you're post was just fine. Don't fret over people that have their head in their own dark, stinky recesses.
It was relief after the Soviet Union threatened to nuke us all in 1963 and John F Kennedy was assainated in cold blood on Texas The scandal reamians how millions in Eastern Europe after allowing the Nazis to torture, maim amd murder millions who said not to them, then kissed the arses of the Russians who were worse, then wanted to inflict their murderous ways elsewhere in the world. Free Eastern Europe my arse - still at it.
@hotmn4u Eastern Europe is not the USAs problem i agree but i think you have got a little confused my friend. The USA made it your problem, just like Irac, Bosnia, Afgan, just to name a few. But let me enlighten you with a few facts !st the USA would never have joined the 2nd World War, if Pearl H hadn't been bombed, and now it seems if the UK are not by your side you wont declare hostilties. The only War you have fought and may i say i'm sorry to say was Nam, & you lost that!!
Eastern Europe did not get a choice of their fate at the end of WW2. They were divided up like chattel between the British, Americans, and the Soviets/Russians as part of the deal made at the Yalta Conference to "re-establish" nations. Probably because their inter-tribal battles had a nasty way of spilling out into the rest of the world.
I first fell in love with my high school sweetheart listening to this song, she has passed away a couple of years ago, this song brings back a lot of tears, and good memories..
I'm 29 and although my favourite artist is Michael Jackson, I also have SUCH an appreciation for this kind of music. It warms my heart! Peter Noone is absolutely beautiful in person guys! Go see him if ever you get the chance! -Jennifer
Overseas in the service in 67. This song was a morale-booster for me. Missed home and someone there kind of thing.. H H were just a damn happy thing mostly. Good guys in a "getting nuts" age - if you know what I mean.
i use to listen to the hermits when i was a kid,i remember this and the jungle book album,monkees,beatles....life was easy..simple...no worries in the world,boy this brings me back to those days in the patio with the old good ole stereo
can anybody tell me who did 'love potion #9'? i thought it was hermans hermits, but i don't see it here, .... and i'm just hanging out over here for a while because i have to go tell my friend that i don't like the song 'try harder' by dave clark five, that she recomended. i really didn't like it.
@m1kewithaone Hi, Mike !! You are looking for an amazing British Invasion group called The Searchers. They have many songs posted on YouTube. Check out "Needles and Pins" as well as "Sugar and Spice", which was featured in the film, "Good Morning, Vietnam" starring Robin Williams. "Love Potion #9" was a huge hit for them. Have an excellent weekend !!
@fab4fan4ever64 haven't i seen you someplace before? ok, the searchers did lp #9? i never would have guessed but i do remember singing the words to this song way back in .... oh, what year was it? and they also did 'needles and pins' ? is that "needles and pins ah"? then who did 'silver threads and golden needles" ? anyway, thanx for the info! who's your favorite band?! lol :)
to those who say that their generation of music shames all others and can never be topped that comes from ignorance. the modern day has made it possible for genres of music once never thought possible to arise in abundance, and while yes some of it is trash, a great percentage of the massive new music can be considrered just as beautiful or every bit as good as older music. Spend five minutes on youtube and you can find fantastic new bands and songs every bit as good as the oldies
i so agree with laddiemcmasters... i know a lot of younger people who actually envy those of us who grew up to the beatles and the british invasion groups. i feel so lucky too. to be alive and in your youth when music takes such a great step forward.
i so agrree with laddiemcmasters... i know a lot of younger people who actually envy those of us who grew up to the beatles and the british invasion groups. i feel so lucky too. to be alive and in your youth when music takes such a great step forward.
I was 11 when 'There's a Kind of Hush' came out. Strange thing though, whenever I hear this song I think of tea & toast and I have absolutely no idea why.
@stationranger I know what you mean-every time I hear the Bee Gees Massachusets(probably the wrong spelling) I think of my mums home made rice pudding! Lol !
My sister had this album.... I used to sneak it in my room so I could pine away over Peter Noone ~~ he was my very first crush ;-} (I was all of about 4 or 5 years old)... Love this song (Yes, it's on my Ipod and I'm now 48). Thanks for posting !!!
one of the greatest singalongs.wherever you are,when this song comes on people sing to it.they cant help it.the joy and happiness possess them.its infectious.
whoa, beginning middle school, just before the dope-days, standin in me backyard wishin i had a girl i could sing this to. still am, cept i don't have no back yard
@MrSouthpawtx Sheesh. I didn't say I didn't like the song. I only commented that the lyrics are vaguely threatening. There's nothing in the lyrics I quoted to indicate the girl likes the guy. You're all out to get me, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?!
Ah, baby, the '60's! We had it ALL! Was there ever another decade where Rock & Pop absolutely exploded in every direction all at once? It'll never be like that again.
HEY PRINCE BOY 99 I WAS A TEEN IN THE 60S THINGS WERE SO CHEAP 1 DOLLAR WOULD KEEP U IN CANDY 4 A WEEK...GREAT ERA HOTDOGS 10CENT....MILK SHAKE...25CENT.....SODA 35CENT....RECORDS 89CENT.....GIRLS WERE SO GOODLOOKING ....FRESH SASSY..NICE NOT LIKE THE GIRLS TODAY......GREATTTTTTT ERA U MISSIT I DIDNT
Beautifully written song. Fantastic chord structure and melody-- so good, seems like it was always there. Saw Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits five years ago at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. It was a triple bill "British Invasion," including Chad and Jeremy and Gerry and the Pacemakers. Noone was outstandingly entertaining, so was Gerry Marsden. They talked about the old Liverpool days,drinking with teenaged Lennon and McCartney...great stuff.
I remember when this song was popular..My (future) husband and I were out on a double date, and he sang this song to me...Now everytime I hear it, I think of that date...and we have been married 40 years! and still in love!!
I love this song. Really. I do. But have you ever read the lyrics? It sounds like the singer is stalking the poor girl. This and "Walking After Midnight" are deeply troubling in that way.
@laddiemcmasters Well I'm happy to come of age when a great period of good music has ended. Now there's A LOT of good music already here for me to liten to=)
@laddiemcmasters well in that statement, you are not citicizing us, you would be criticizing the new generation. so to use the word 'criticize' and ' lucky' in the same sentence, would be an oxy moron. understan? well hell, what do i know, i only went to english class one day, and they passed me just so they wouldn't have to see me back there again. :)
@laddiemcmasters I agree.....and now my daughter has bought a turntable and is collecting old albums and she loves it. I keep sending her all the music we listened too and she loves it.
@laddiemcmasters Even though i am 15, i totally agree 150% the music from our generation is quite annoying wiht no meaning and is all computer generated.
Who sang it best? Once again, it's time for Arthur's musical challenge! I'd like my facebook friends and family to put music's best to the test! This time it's "A Kind of Hush." The original comes to us from the other side of the pond - it's Herman's Hermits! (Click the link to see video!)
@dnckarl I agree. The Carpenters went off track when they started remaking earlier hits, starting with "Please, Mister Postman". Their last hit in late 1977, "Calling Occupants" helped out Klaatu and sounded fine, but I've never heard Klaatu's version.
I suppose had Herman's Hermits recorded "Rainy Days and Mondays", it would sound as bad as the Carpenters' version of this song. If there ever had been a song for Karen Carpenter, "Rainy Days and Mondays" was it!
There is always a place for accoustic interpretation, however, I always thought this song sounded great with strings in the background, And of all the interpretations, I always come back to the original. Karen Carpenters version is a very close second. Classic Sound and a Classic Track. Thankyou Poster
I have this album!!

@hotmn4u Eastern Europe is not the USAs problem i agree but i think you have got a little confused my friend. The USA made it your problem, just like Irac, Bosnia, Afgan, just to name a few. But let me enlighten you with a few facts !st the USA would never have joined the 2nd World War, if Pearl H hadn't been bombed, and now it seems if the UK are not by your side you wont declare hostilties. The only War you have fought and may i say i'm sorry to say was Nam, & you lost that!!

@anndchelt is British not American.
Eastern Europe did not get a choice of their fate at the end of WW2. They were divided up like chattel between the British, Americans, and the Soviets/Russians as part of the deal made at the Yalta Conference to "re-establish" nations. Probably because their inter-tribal battles had a nasty way of spilling out into the rest of the world.

@m1kewithaone Hi, Mike !! You are looking for an amazing British Invasion group called The Searchers. They have many songs posted on YouTube. Check out "Needles and Pins" as well as "Sugar and Spice", which was featured in the film, "Good Morning, Vietnam" starring Robin Williams. "Love Potion #9" was a huge hit for them. Have an excellent weekend !!

@fab4fan4ever64 haven't i seen you someplace before? ok, the searchers did lp #9? i never would have guessed but i do remember singing the words to this song way back in .... oh, what year was it? and they also did 'needles and pins' ? is that "needles and pins ah"? then who did 'silver threads and golden needles" ? anyway, thanx for the info! who's your favorite band?! lol :)

to those who say that their generation of music shames all others and can never be topped that comes from ignorance. the modern day has made it possible for genres of music once never thought possible to arise in abundance, and while yes some of it is trash, a great percentage of the massive new music can be considrered just as beautiful or every bit as good as older music. Spend five minutes on youtube and you can find fantastic new bands and songs every bit as good as the oldies

Beautifully written song. Fantastic chord structure and melody-- so good, seems like it was always there. Saw Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits five years ago at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. It was a triple bill "British Invasion," including Chad and Jeremy and Gerry and the Pacemakers. Noone was outstandingly entertaining, so was Gerry Marsden. They talked about the old Liverpool days,drinking with teenaged Lennon and McCartney...great stuff.

@dnckarl I agree. The Carpenters went off track when they started remaking earlier hits, starting with "Please, Mister Postman". Their last hit in late 1977, "Calling Occupants" helped out Klaatu and sounded fine, but I've never heard Klaatu's version.
I suppose had Herman's Hermits recorded "Rainy Days and Mondays", it would sound as bad as the Carpenters' version of this song. If there ever had been a song for Karen Carpenter, "Rainy Days and Mondays" was it!
