Hermans Hermits 1965

I’m Henry the Eighth I am Henry the Eighth I am I am! I remember singing this At the top of my lungs at church camp when I was twelve Thank you Herman’s Hermits My camp mate, Clarisse had introduced me To Peter Noone, and the other Hermits. Herman’s Hermits they called themselves I had no idea how I survived without knowing about them When I hear “Tell me Baby, Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter, Dream on,” and “Listen people” I begin to drive a bit faster, Turning back into the teenager I used to be. I’m Henry the Eighth I am, Henry the Eighth, I am, I am….. Singing this immediately changes me back into a preteenager, and makes me smile.

Wonderful! I had the pleasure of seeing Peter Noone (the Hermits were long gone) in concert a few years back at our annual town festival. I loved hearing him reprise "Mrs. Brown you have a lovely daughter." Would kill to have his accent!

It is weird how music re-defines my age Gershon.
