Posted by http://www.nostalgoteket.se From a performance in Australia, 1966.
"Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" is a popular song written by Trevor Peacock. It was originally sung by actor Sir Tom Courtenay in The Lads, a British TV play of 1963.
The best-known version of the song is by Herman's Hermits, who took it to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in April 1965. Herman's Hermits had two U.S. number-ones, the other being "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". The band never released them as singles in Britain. "Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" was recorded as an afterthought in two takes and featured unique muted rhythm guitar by Keith Hopwood and heavily accented vocals by Peter Noone with backing from Karl Green and Keith Hopwood. The band never dreamed it would be a single let alone hit number one in the U.S. According to Pete Noone, the song was well known to British bands; it would often be performed at birthday parties, substituting the name of the girl whose party was being celebrated, i.e. "Mrs. Smith" or "Mrs. Jones" instead of "Mrs. Brown".

@Alaidh Probably. He does look pretty shocked and a little scared. I guess I was just thinking that it may possibly have been only for entertainment purposes since a lot of times that kind of stuff is.

@stitchesful I'd say, by the look on Peter's face, it was quite real...lol.

What is wrong with these creepy girls?! They get tickets to see Herman's Hermits and spend the majority of the concert throwing paper at Peter Noone! Then they shamefully try to drag him off stage by the leg! Idiots.

@mhall696969 that's what he gets for not letting his daughter go out by herself to see them! XD
