"I'm into Something Good" is a song composed by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and made famous by Herman's Hermits.〔 The song was originally recorded by Cookies member Earl-Jean in 1964 and reached number 38 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Soon thereafter, Herman's Hermits recorded the song as their debut single, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart on 14 September 1964, and staying there for two weeks.〔 The song peaked at number 13 in the US later that year. Arranged by Hermit's guitarist Derek Leckenby, the record featured an uptempo rendition. The 'A' section from the song is a twelve-bar blues.〔("Song Means: Analysing and Interpreting Recorded Popular Son," Allen F. Moore, p 108 )〕 Herman's Hermits' release at the height of the British Invasion came while Brill Building songwriters, Goffin and King in this case, found themselves in danger of obsolescence, as most of the British groups wrote their own material. The song has since been featured in films such as ''The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!'' and ''The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue'', and was also featured in the Season 5 episode ''Road to Rupert'' of ''Family Guy''. ==Cover versions== The song was featured in the 1988 film ''The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!''. From its inclusion in the soundtrack, a solo version by Herman's Hermits frontman Peter Noone climbed the adult contemporary chart that year. Brian Wilson covered the song, which features Carole King, and it is included in the Best Buy edition of his 2008 album, ''That Lucky Old Sun''. The Bird and the Bee covered the song and released it as a single in March 2010. Their version was also included on the soundtrack for the film, ''Valentine's Day'' and television ''Love Bites'' show season 1 episode 6 "TMI." On television, the sitcom ''The Partridge Family'' featured a cover version (lead vocal by David Cassidy) recorded in 1973, that was seen twice during the fourth season. The song (produced by Wes Farrell) was never officially released on either vinyl or CD. Another version was recorded by The Langley Schools Music Project in 1976. This cover is also used for a recent McDonalds commercial aired in 2010 at Australia. Using the title "Something Good" Marianne Faithfull covered the song on her 2002 album ''Kissin Time''. It featured Billy Corgan as a guest musician. Kids Incorporated covered "I'm Into Something Good" in 1989 in the Season 6 episode "The Hero". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I'm into Something Good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
