"Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?" is a song written by John Sebastian and first released by his band The Lovin' Spoonful on their 1965 debut album Do You Believe in Magic. It was the second single released from the album and the most successful, reaching #2 on the American Billboard charts on the week of June 11, 1966 (#1 being Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones). The song has continued to be popular and has been included in many compilations of music of the period. In 1996, Denny's restaurants used the song for the Breakaway Values program.〔(MUSIC VIEWPOINT;RESTART ME UP;IN TODAY'S MUSIC FOR ADVERTISING, OLD IS NEW, AND EVERYTHING NEW IS OLD. WHAT'S GOIN' ON? - by Rick Lyon (1996) )〕 The Christian parody band ApologetiX included a parody, "Did You Ever Ask Where Cain Got His Wife?" on their 2010 album Soundprooof. In the 1999 film Dudley Do-Right, this song is given a big-band style arrangement, and it starts off with a swing dance battle between Snidely Whiplash and Dudley for Nell Fenwick, and evolves into a big production number. The lead vocals in this version are by Steve Tyrell. ==Notable covers== * The Knack on a 1966 UK single (This was not the My Sharona The Knack, this was an earlier British band) * A sound-alike version in the style of the Lovin' Spoonful's version was used in the 1966 British Antonioni film Blowup.
