The song was originally recorded by Cookies member Earl - Jean on Colpix Records 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 and number 7 in Canada. The ' A ' section from the song is a twelve - bar blues. 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 !, The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue, and Ouija : Origin of Evil. The song was also featured in the Season 5 episode Road to Rupert of Family Guy. Carole King has said that in writing the song she was inspired by Brian Wilson : `` I make no bones about it, that song was influenced by Brian 's music ''.

Herman 's Hermits performance credits Barry Whitwam has stated that the Hermits themselves played on the track, not Jimmy Page, since Mickie Most and former lead singer `` Herman '' ( Peter Noone ) had implied otherwise after having lost the rights to the band 's name. Whitwam further states, in regard to exaggerations of songs on which they supposedly did not play : `` Everything he says is that it was Jimmy Page, and Jimmy Page probably ca n't remember any of the songs that he played. If you look at our top ten in America, `` I 'm Into Something Good '', it was us. All Hermits. There was only a piano added on. That was on a two track machine so we played at the same time. That got to number thirteen. `` Ca n't You Hear My Heartbeat '', there were no other instruments. That got to number two. `` Mrs. Brown You 've Got a Lovely Daughter '' got to number one. `` I 'm Henry the VIII ''. Number one. `` A Must to Avoid ''. Number eight. `` Listen People ''. `` Leaning on the Lamppost ''. That 's six in the top ten with Jimmy Page or anybody else not involved ! Another seventy of the tracks on the albums is only the Hermits. I think I worked it out, and I think in only thirty percent of all the songs ever recorded the Hermits did n't do the backing, but the Hermits were always on the vocals doing the harmonies. So he 's trying to discredit us, saying that we did n't have anything to do with anything. '' References ^ Jump up to : Rice, Jo ( 1982 ). The Guinness Book of 500 Number One Hits ( 1st ed. ).
