"Do You Want To Know A Secret?"

OK, more Mop-Tops: Lennon wrote this tune in '63 during his honeymoon. Inspired by "I'm Wishing" from Disney's '37 "Snow White". First Beatles Top 10 song to feature George as lead singer. One of the few Fab Four tunes not to feature the composer as lead singer. #2 on Billboard in '64. B-Side on the single: "Thank You Girl". Billy J. Kramer And The Dakotas' cover reached #1 in the UK.

Yesterday's answer: Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart". Another one of those EPIC Jim Steinman productions. I never thought anybody could touch Bonnie Tyler but Carly Smithson on Idol came pretty doggone close! BEST VOICE EVER ON IDOL PERIOD!!!
