Talking of which, do you remember the band Wet, Wet, Wet?
Ah yes, Clyde Banks' finest, Marty Pellow and the Boys.
They had a number one hit for about 15 weeks.
I'm telling you, it went round and round my head for months.
That is the one.
[Ab] But it's also one of the most successful selling love songs of all time.
And Kerry Grant went to find out the story behind its [Bb] remarkable success.
[Cm]
[Eb] You'll recognise [F] this straight [Bb] away.
Virtually the soundtrack [Cm] to the 1990s.
[Eb] [F] [Bb] I feel it in [Cm] my feet.
[Eb] I feel [F] it in [Bb] my toes.
The [Cm] version by Wet, Wet, Wet, [Eb] featured in the film Four Weddings and [F] a Funeral,
stayed at [Bb] number one longer than [Cm] The Beatles ever did.
[Eb] [F] And so the feeling [Bb] grows.
So guess what [C] inspired the song [Eb] entitled Love is All [F] Around?
[Bb] Well, it was [Fm] the smell of Sunday lunch.
[G]
[A] The [E] writer was the other Mr Presley.
[A]
[D] [E] Reg Presley, a land over in [A] Hampshire.
[E] In the 1960s, he'd just [D] found fame with [A] his band The [Gbm] Troggs
and their hit [E] single Wild Thing.
[N] I was a bricklayer and I was still building.
And the guy on the other scaffold was a painter.
He was doing the eaves, painting the eaves on.
But he had a little transistor radio on and he didn't know who I was.
And this DJ went, [A] wild thing, and he said,
you heard this record?
I [E] said, yeah.
He said, is that [Gbm] ain't number one next week?
He said, I'll eat my breath.
I went, you like [E] it?
He said, yeah.
[D] I went, [A] wow.
And I threw down my [D] trowel.
I [E] said, I'm off.
[C] That was it.
[A] Wild thing, I think you move.
Wild Thing was a massive global hit, [G] including number one in America.
[A] It was all happening so fast, actually.
It was, wasn't it?
Somebody said to me, what's it like being number one and being a
I said, it's like walking on the moon for the [Gbm] first time.
It's so new, it's [Ab] so good, you know.
[Gb] Despite their [Dbm] success, The Troggs [Gb] remained at heart down-to [Ab]-earth country boys.
And [Gb] for Reg, it was coming back to [Eb] these roots after weeks away touring
[G] that inspired his most [Ab] enduring hit.
[N] We got back on a Sunday, and Sunday in England, [G] lovely, you know.
You smell the roast dinner.
My daughter, she was four years old, [A] running around.
And [Em] the television was on.
And I [G] heard the Joystrings on, South East Ambulance.
The Joystrings were doing their bit with the tambourine.
About love, love, love.
And it left me with this thing.
I feel it in my fingers.
I feel it in my toes.
I got the bass out and I tapped a round on it.
I [Ab] thought, woo.
It just felt [Gb] right.
The feeling, the mood, you're in.
[Ebm] Everything was right.
[Gb] I phoned Chris, I said, Chris, yeah?
[Db] [G] I think you ought to come round here.
I think I've seen [D] our next hit.
Sing it to me like you would have sung it.
I feel it in my fingers.
I feel it in my toes.
And then you work out.
[G]
[D] Feel it [Em] in my fingers.
[G] I [A] feel it [G] in my [D] toes.
[Em] [G] [A] [Eb] Love [Em] is all around me.
[G] [A] And so the feeling [D] grows.
[Em] And of course, [G] Reg was dead right about [A] the song.
[Eb] It was an [Em] international favourite three [G] times over.
First for the [A] Troggs, [D] then for R.E..M., and then in [Em] the early 1990s, Reg [G] received an [F] unexpected demo. I was drinking a cup of tea, and their chords, their start, wah! The tea went all over the room. I went, wah! But as soon as he opened his magic song, I thought, yes. [Bb] I feel it [Cm] in my fingers. [Eb] When you bring a [F] song into the world, [Bb] it's like having a child. [Cm] They ask you, can I [Eb] do it? Yes, you can if you look [F] after it. In fact, [Bb] the new version won [Cm] Reg three Ivor Novello [Eb] Awards. But after [F] 15 weeks firmly [Bb] at number one, it was [Cm] withdrawn from sale [Eb] simply to give other records a [F] chance. [Bb] It would have been the biggest [Cm] single ever. [Eb] So angry. [F] I'd love to [Cm] have just done it. 15 weeks is still pretty good. Oh, yeah. I mean, it is great, but it was just that little You were going for the [Eb] record. [Bb] It sort of feeds you, that song. [Cm] I just wonder whether it will be [Eb] there [F] in [Bb] 20 years' time. I wonder [Eb] if it will carry on. [F]
Ah yes, Clyde Banks' finest, Marty Pellow and the Boys.
They had a number one hit for about 15 weeks.
