"Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" is a popular song written by British singer-songwriter Trevor Peacock.〔Ruhlmann, William. "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter – Herman's Hermits: Listen, Appearances, Song Review". AllMusic. Retrieved 2013-01-04.〕 It was originally sung by actor Tom Courtenay in ''The Lads'', a British TV play of 1963, and released as a single on UK Decca F 11729. The best-known version of the song is by Herman's Hermits, who took it to number one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in May 1965, and number one in Canada the month before. Herman's Hermits had two US number-ones, the other being "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". The band never released them as singles in Britain. "Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" was recorded as an afterthought in two takes and featured unique muted rhythm guitar by Keith Hopwood and heavily accented vocals by Peter Noone with backing from Karl Green and Keith Hopwood. The band never dreamed it would be a single let alone hit number one in the US. According to Noone the song was well known to British bands; it would often be performed at birthday parties, substituting the surname of the girl whose party was being celebrated, i.e., "Mrs. Smith" or "Mrs. Jones" instead of "Mrs. Brown". Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 1965 album ''Chipmunks à Go-Go''. The song was released in Japan on Odeon Records, a subsidiary of Toshiba, as OR-1272. It was backed by the song "Wonderful World". It was covered by Nellie McKay on her 2015 album ''My Weekly Reader''. ==References== 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「Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
