I was hoping he'd have "Maybe I Know" by Leslie Gore laying around, also.

sadly, I don't, but it seems mr. i-banger has come to the rescue.

posted by jonmc 16 January | 18:41

Yep, it's Herman's Hermits.....

thanks, after you mentioned it quonsar, I did need to hear it.

alicesshoe, all of your question marks are upside down. You might want to invert your slash key.

I noticed mudpuppie, *chuckles*, I should be placing them in front of the sentence, officially, para en Espanol.

Don't ask, "Is this what the kids are doing".

No, definitely not Herman's Hermits. It was the Honeycombs, produced by the late, great Joe Meek.

Herman's the version I'm familiar with...And the one posted IS Herman. Becha it is. Don't make me name more of Herman's song list. ;)

I didn't know the Honeycombs sung it too. If they did at all. *humph*

Next someone will be asking for Sam The Sham, Wooly Bully.

I love Lesley Gore. She sang Sunshine, lollipops & rainbows. Who's got an MP3 of that little gem?

posted by getoffmylawn 16 January | 19:29

Never mind, I found it. Thanks anyway.

It's really easy to find oldies with this search engine.

Oh, I am so selfish sometimes. In case anyone else is interested, scroll down to December 22.

Y'all goin' back¿ Waaaay back¿

posted by alicesshoe 16 January | 19:43

The one posted is definitely the Honeycombs.

Git your pay pal account then, essexjan./

What, no bets then¿

Let's go. Put your money down on it. I would.
I'm from that era...

Herman's Hermits is the version up there.

superb! thanks interrobang!!!!! and where are you people getting this herman's hermits crap from? that sure as hell ain't herman's hermits!

i read about the recording of this little gem in one of the links from the joe meek post on mefi, and remembered the song, which i haven't thought about in decades! thanks again! i just wish i could hear this baby on a 6 transistor AM pocket radio with a 1.5 inch speaker!

posted by quonsar 16 January | 21:20

I love this song!

(For some reason I always thought the Dave Clark Five sang the song. Oops. I'm wrong!)

posted by sisterhavana 17 January | 02:08

Um... I don't know how to break this to you, alicesshoe, but Herman's Hermits never recorded Have I the Right.

posted by essexjan 17 January | 04:47

I take it back

I was wrong
Way wrong.

The song jogged a time and place in my mind and I was convinced it was HH's.

I stand corrected.

*stands up*
quonsar, I was the people saying it was Herman's Hermits, mistakenly.
*sits down*
