In this song, the singer was clearly taught some tricks (possibly of a sexual nature) that made him fall for the girl who taught him. When he learned these tricks and used them on her, they worked and she fell for him too. This was written in 1964 by Harold Eugene Clark and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds. In 1969, after the song became a hit for The Turtles, The Byrds' demo was released on their album Preflyte. Salt n' Pepa did a rap remake of this song in 1991 that made #47 US and #15 UK. In our interview with Roger McGuinn, he said, "I loved it. I thought it was great." Two members of The Turtles - Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (known as Flo and Eddie) - turned around and sang background vocals for several T. Rex songs, including "Planet Queen" found on the Electric Warrior album. De La Soul sampled this without permission on their 1989 song "Transmitting From Mars," which did not go over well with the Turtles, who sued. The case was settled out of court for a reported $1.7 million. The Lightning Seeds covered this song in 1996 for their album Dizzy Heights. Their version peaked at #8 the following year on the UK singles chart and was used in the movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. >>
