Three Wilson brothers on the first verse, singing harmonies worked out in the Hawthorne bedroom the song describes.

A wallet lost in a New York cab sent the group to Hair; Bones Howe spliced two songs into one.

Sebastian's autoharp opens it, written after he watched a teenager dance at the Night Owl in Greenwich Village.

Take four, June 1967 at EMI, with a trumpet added later onto the mono mix and nowhere else.

Written by the Addrisi brothers, cut by the Wrecking Crew, and named by BMI the twentieth century's second most-played song.

Argent's working title was "Prison Song", and the sunniest harmonies of 1967 are addressed to someone awaiting release.
