Name That Tune, Sixties

NAME THAT TUNE (March 19, 2023)

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Welcome back to another shot at Name That Tune! It’s my turn again and I have the clues; let’s see if you have the answers.

Ok, are you ready? Here are your questions:

  1. This 1965 novelty song by an English band was an instant hit, the 2nd for this group from Manchester.
  2. It’s a snappy little number with one verse repeated three times by the cheerful and likeable (not to mention ‘toothy’) lead singer. That’s right: second verse same as the first!
  3. Known for their jaunty beat sound and the singer’s tongue-in-cheek vocal style, the group ranked as one of the most successful acts in the Beatles-led British Invasion.
  4. This sing-along, bouncy tune about a famous (or infamous) ruler had teenage girls jumping around and just about losing their heads.
  5. Although the name of this group may make you think otherwise, they were a happy bunch and not at all “crabby”.

Do you think you know the answers? Well, scroll down for the big reveal.

Well, if you said “I’m Henry VII, I Am” by Herman’s Hermits … you’re right!

Let’s give a listen to that little song right now, and I do mean little; it’s only 1 minute, 50 seconds!

Well, that sure brought back memories!

Did you catch on and figure out the name of the song and the group that performed it? Which clue was the one that did it for you?

Of course we all know that “Herman” is actually singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist and actor Peter Noone. Since September 2019, Noone has been hosting a program on SiriusXM’s 60s Gold station titled “Something Good” after Herman’s Hermits’  hit song, “I’m Into Something Good”.

Thanks for playing along! Join us again next Sunday for another round of Name That Tune!

Don’t forget to catch Mr. Bump tomorrow as he brings us Breaktime Whodunnit.

See you on the flip side.

      1. This is true. 🤔 I should have gotten used to it, but I was constantly surprised by what and who my students did not know, and I taught seniors, but then I did not always know their interests either. 😅 Generational thing, yes. We are catching up! 😁

      1. I was beginning to get the group when you mentioned the “toothy” lead singer and definitely when you talked about their jaunty beat sound and the singer’s tongue-in-cheek vocal style plus being ranked as one of the most successful acts in the Beatles-led British Invasion.

  8. Reblogged this on The Elephant's Trunk and commented:

    Judging by the number of people stopping by and checking out our new music blog (Yay! You guys are the best!), you’re already following The Rhythm Section. If you’re not following, well you’re not interested and I can’t force you. As we say in Sicilian, “Basta!” which means “Enough!” – no more re-blogging of posts after today.
    So, for my final re-blog, check out the questions and see if you know the answer! Hope to see you at The Rhythm Section!

    I figure that if you’re interested in my new music blog, you’re already following The Rhythm Section. And if you’re not following us, it’s because you’re not interested. So after this one, I shan’t bug you by reblogging the posts any more.

    But before I stop, can you guess Nancy’s track yoday? I couldn’t, but what’s new?

  12. In the beginning I was like BeeGees!
    Then, everything went Huh? for me 😁

    But that is the beauty of music, Nancy…always, almost magically, there is something to discover.

    Now, I will be waiting who from your readers actually married a Henry😄

    Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone🌅
