  • I like this FAR better than Herman's Hermits. Great arrangement and feel, nice tight harmony by the Cookies, like the sax in the bridge, it's a more relaxed highly synchopated beat. It sounds like a happy-girl, hand-clapping song.

  • With all due respect to Hermans Hermits, their version doesn't even come close to this original. Great tune and good post.

  • Beautiful song, beautifully rendered, but it has to be said. If you dunked these girls in the river you'd be skimming ugly for a week.

  • Nice to hear the original. Carole King, one of the greats too, and a nice person! What instrument is playing the solo on the break, one do wonder. As to their looks, they were kids in the early '60s, nothing special and hadn't had the Hollywood Treatment, SO WHAT?!

  • The British Invasion bands were in touch with black American music, and Peter Noone and the boys made sure we heard this song. I remember the Cookies, but I wouldn't know this original version without Herman's Hermits.

  • @problem49, you're spot on. 

  • @problem49 ...I wouldn't consider them mutts they just need modern makeovers

  • love this. I don,t think Herman did it justice.

  • This song was written by Carol King and Gerry Goffin. If you listen closely, you can hear Carol in the background. She also arranged this and played piano. It was recorded at MiraSound studios in New York..

  • @problem49 I've found this Greatest hits cd on amazon.com

    Also,the same cd can be found on rhino .com
