Love, "Little Red Book", BOS.  Kudos to Mr Bacharach.
Oh damn, this is better than I remember it.  I think it's a sign of maturity that I appreciate Bacharach so much better lately.
Have you ever heard the Manfred Mann original? I never have. Guess I need to track down the What's New Pussycat? sndtk.

Hard to believe Manfred Mann's version came out before Love's version.  But there it is:
"original version by Manfred Mann, What's New Pussycat (Original Soundtrack) (United Artists 5218, July 1965)"

PS, I listened to a snippet online, and it contains none of the proto-punk energy of the Love version; it's like a different song, but it's not of course.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

Of course, Love's later stuff didn't contain much "proto-punk energy" either, good as it was. :wink:
