The track also reached number 5 on the Canadian charts, spending four weeks in the Top 40 in February 1965. The song is about the death of a young man named Terry, killed in a motorcycle accident.

It was Twinkle's only Top 10 hit, although her follow-up, "Golden Lights" (later covered by The Smiths), reached number 21 in the UK.

"Ringo" was written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair and was a hit single for the Canadian-born actor, Lorne Greene, in 1964. The song's sung lyrics are limited to the title word alone, performed by an unidentified male chorus, presumably The Jordanaires or the Mello Men. The rest of the vocal performance consists of a spoken-word, first-person account of a Western lawman and his relationship with a notorious gunfighter, Ringo. The account in the song does not fit the known historical facts of the life of Western outlaw Johnny Ringo. It reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard charts on December 5, 1964 as well as garnering the same spot on the "Easy Listening" chart, where it retained the position for six weeks. The single also peaked at number twenty-one on the Hot Country Singles chart. In Canada, it hit #1 on the RPM top singles chart on December 7.

"You Really Got Me" is a 1964 song written by Ray Davies and performed by The Kinks. The song, originally performed in a more blues-oriented style, was inspired by artists such as Lead Belly and Big Bill Broonzy. Two versions of the song were recorded, with the second performance being used for the final single. Although it was rumoured that future Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page had performed the song's guitar solo, the myth has since been proven false.



I know this one. Some of the riffs were even used in another single of theirs from that year, "All Day And All Of The Night", which I posted earlier in this thread.

The way they say the title kinda sounds like "You really got Mel" :D

Also, Van Halen would cover this song in 1978; their version featured a long intro entitled "Eruption" before the start of the song.

The riff was also used in the Doors "Hello I Love You" (1968).

Well, there are some similarities in the songs' intros (especially in the respective melodies). Ray Davies, frontman of the Kinks, had thought of suing, but decided not to go through with it.
