A requested song I just happened to have - MRS. BROWN, YOUVE GOT A LOVELY DAUGHTER, by Hermans Hermits. The best-known version of the song is by Hermans Hermits, who took it to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 1965, and #1 in Canada the month before. Hermans Hermits had two US number-ones, the other being Im Henry VIII, I Am. The band never released them as singles in Britain. Mrs Brown, Youve 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 (Herman) 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 name of the girl whose party was being celebrated, i.e., Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Jones instead of Mrs. Brown.
