Got My Mind Set On You (ver. 1) - George Harrison

Groovy! "

Got My Mind Set on You" is a song written by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962.

It is best-known for the cover version released by former Beatle George Harrison from his album Cloud Nine which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1988. Produced by Harrison and former ELO member Jeff Lynne, the song was his third and last solo US number one, after "My Sweet Lord" in 1970 and "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" in 1973. It was also the last number one single, to date, by any of the solo Beatles in the United States. The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", written by Harrison. The 12" version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set On You".

Two music videos were released for the cover version. The first, known as the nickelodeon version, (directed by Gary Weis) starred a young Alexis Denisof vying for the heart of a girl in an arcade. The second (also directed by Weis), is Harrison sitting and playing in a study. As the song progresses, furniture and knick-knacks (like a stuffed squirrel and mounted warthog) begin to dance along with the song. In the middle of the video, Harrison performs a stunning backflip from his chair and follows with a dance routine before jumping back to his seat. The second received significant airplay, and was nominated for three MTV VMAs.
