This song by Herman's Hermits is about a guy who is heartbroken over losing his girl, and decides to tell her mother all about it. For instance, It was originally sung by the actor Tom Courtney in 1963 in a British television play. The song was written by Trevor Peacock, who was also appearing in the play. Trevor Peacock is well known to British TV audiences for playing the part of Jim Trott in the BBC sitcom The Vicar of Dibley. The producer Mickie Most needed a song to complete Herman's Hermits' debut album and Trevor Peacock gave them this track. It was never intended for single release, but after an American DJ started giving it airplay, their record label issued it as a 45 and it became their first American #1. In their native Britain it was never released as a single. Later in the year they returned to the top of the American charts with their revival of the old British musical number "I'm Henry The 8th I Am."
