Mrs Brown, you’ve got a lovely daughter!

The heart throb boy band Herman’s Hermits sent this song to number one on the charts in 1965. When the song reached number one the band stated that they had never dreamed that any of their songs would ever make the charts. They also stated that the song was popular request at birthday parties where the name of the woman was substituted.

“Mrs Brown You’ve a Lovely Daughter” features the accented vocals of Peter Noone and rhythm guitar that was popular in this era.

The song was also the soundtrack to the film ‘Mrs Brown You’ve a Lovely Daughter’ which funnily enough, featured the names of some of the band members.

Do you remember these lyrics:

Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are somethin’ rare
But it’s sad, she doesn’t love me now
She’s made it clear enough, it ain’t no good to pine

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn’t love me now
She’s made it clear enough, it ain’t no good to call
