7. If you like that, you really should hear the William Shatner version
:)

(Caveat: As far as I know, there is no Shatner version of this song. But there should be.)

10. The Herman's Hermits track is AMAZING...
...because it's actually Peter Noone. I saw "Herman's Hermits" on an oldies package tour with The Monkees in the late 80s and it was ONE original Hermit (but no Noone).

The amazing thing about the track isn't the fact that Noone perfectly mimics Idol. It's the fact that when you hear him sing the song, you realize the fact that Idol sometimes channels Noone.

:toast:
