Then I Kissed Her/Then He Kissed Me - Ukulele, Bass, Melodica, Tambourine (Featuring Naj)

'Then He Kissed Me' was written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry, the producer and songwriters at the Brill Building in New York City. The song was recorded in 1963 by 'The Crystals' who brought it to Number 6 in the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 2 in the UK charts.
In 1965 the Beach Boys took the song and re-worded the lyrics so that the story could be told from the male's perceptive. They released the song under the title "Then I Kissed Her" with Al Jardine on lead vocals.

A few months ago I send Naj a YouTube message asking if she would be interested in making a collaboration video. She agreed to it, and now we've finally got it finished. We have found it slightly difficult to communicate because I live in Canada and Naj lives in Singapore and there is a 13 hour time difference! We are both big fans of the music from the 60's, so I suggested this song. We took the two sets of lyrics and engineered them into a duet, simply by spiting the verses so that we could both tell part of the story. This was a really fun project, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Thanks so much Naj!

Sorry but Gene Pitney wrote this song.

[cjhoylemusic]

@PJ7272 You must be mistaken. I've just gone and double checked my original source, as well found it credited to Spector, Greenwich and Barry in multiple other sources.

Where are you getting your information?

[sorapyper]

[aliensarereal666]

cool

[jorgecubria]

I meant "by" NOT "buy"

"BUy the way" means bilingually "MAKE A PURCHASE OF THE OX" An OX in Spanish is the animal which in English is a Goose.

So if I goosed it Means I'm a silly goose or a "guey" which is OX or Goose.

That is a trnas-genetic being of the silly sort.

[jorgecubria]

I just can't help thinking that I'm looking at my son Brian.

That's funny.

Buy the way, you are really good

[peaco1000]

I actually found it a bit creepy. I cant exactly say why. But its a great great pop song, so good on you.
