Music to Watch Girls By
"Music to Watch Girls By" was the first Top 40 hit by Bob Crewe using his own name, recorded by his group The Bob Crewe Generation. Crewe first heard the song performed in a "jingle demo" for a Diet Pepsi commercial. Music was composed by Sidney "Sid" Ramin. The "big-band, horn driven" recording went to #15 on the pop chart and #2 on the Easy Listening chart. According to Greg Adams, writing for ''All Music Guide'', the song "exemplified the groovy state of instrumental music at that time."〔 In Bob Crewe's version, a trumpet plays the whole song , the first time around, sounding like Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass style. The second time the instrumental is played, a half step up in tone from G Minor to A-Flat Minor, a Tenor Saxophone plays a more jazzier version, accompanied by strings and a harpsichord, that play a counter-melody. The trumpets finish up the refrain, and all of the parts are played, repeating the first part in the Coda, before the fade.
Other instrumental versions of the song were recorded by Billy Vaughn, Chet Atkins, Al Hirt〔 and Walter Wanderley. A vocal recording by Andy Williams, featuring lyrics written by Tony Velona, went to #34 in the United States,〔 and after it was used in a Fiat ad in the UK, the re-released single reached the top ten.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artist Profile: Andy Williams )〕 The version by Al Hirt reached #31 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #119 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1967.〔(Al Hirt's "Music To Watch Girls By" Chart Positions ) Retrieved March 24, 2013.〕 In 1967 Leonard Nimoy covered the song, renamed "Music To Watch Space Girls By" (a pre-space disco and Trek-related version) for his debut album ''Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space''.〔(Leonard Nimoy, ''Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space'' ) Retrieved June 14, 2013〕 The Higsons covered the vocal version in 1984; this was released on a single and the album ''The Curse of the Higsons''.
