Shangri-Las - Heaven Only Knows w/ LYRICS

[idontwantohurtnobody]

The singers voice makes me wish I could have F'd her. She sounds so beautifull!!!

[38yofrmut]

I wonder why Betty didn't like to tour & therefore also didn't appear in some of the publicity photos? If Mary sings lead then why on "Leader of the Pack" do they ask "Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"

[sponge111111]

@38yofrmut oooooh a mystery. i love a mystery

[TheDj3a]

Heaven only knows how much I love this song and their delivery. Bella bella!

[wilbar2922]

I can't believe I just heard this song for the first time a couple of hours ago on Little Steven's radio show. It's absolutely fantastic!

[SaintCrowbar]

great vocal from mary on this one. girl can SING

[BoomerReb]

This song is a classic

[rocknrollphilip]

my fave ramones album is "leave home" and it's clear what a huge influence this group's vocal sound was on joey ramone. 'knocks me out.....

[songofthewhales]

@rocknrollphilip Very true. The ronettes, shangri-las and similar groups were the origin of their sound and therefore the origin of punk!

[utbrottstjuv]

This is one of the greatest tracks of all time. Seriously

[JimmyBoi2]

Y'all just calm down about the quality-- it's from a 1965 45 fer crissakes! : )

[jonvil2009]

Whenever I listen to this song; I cant help but wonder if Toni Basel was (at least unconsciously) using the melody in her famous 1981 "Hey Mickey" (so fine) song...

[utbrottstjuv]

@jonvil2009 Actually, "Kitty" by Racey came earlier :) of which Mickey's a cover/reworked version.

[jonvil2009]

@utbrottstjuv I had no idea... interesting... Then Racey may have unconsciously used the melody from (The Shangri Las) Heaven Only Knows???? Or am I offtrack on this one?

[utbrottstjuv]

@jonvil2009 Maybe they did! I've never really thought about it, but I guess there are some similarities..

[ScriptWorker]

Forgot about this one! When songs like this appear on B sides and are better than most A sides of today, we gotta move on. Little symphonies for kids and adults is the next step, I reckon. Anyone want to start up a girl band and write songs like this?

[cygnusfloyd]

Hell i am a multi-instrumentalist, i can help ya write, not a girl but can still help. i just thought how awesome it would be to have girl groups like this again.

[doglips1958]

Should have been an A side. GREAT!!!

[janeshe2]

Lovin dis song........love the original and John Legend's sample......dis track is fire no lie

[alcoholman01]

terrible audio

[ColossusOfRhodes]

why all the thumbs down? the quality is quite shitty.

[mocrg]

True, great song pity about this playback.

[5121949]

Nice Montage.

Has anyone else done a version of this song?

[cooneyo3]

Mary Weiss and reigning sound covered on her danerous game cd.

[Epstwain]

Just actually saw CA band Redd Kross do a rocking cover of it as an encore at a show in Brooklyn a short while ago. (Where incidentally Mary Weiss & Reigning Sound will play the following week.)

[wimdebossen]

De Bossen, garageband from Belgium, did a version of "Heaven only knows" on their album "The Girl Collection" (Kinky Star records 1998).

[Eclipsen07]

John Legend samples it in his song "Heaven only knows."

[mikemeals]

@Richardpd16378

Yes - Redd Kross does on the album Teen Babies From Monsanto.
