"No Milk Today" by Herman's Hermits came out in January of 1967, my first year of high school. At the time, all the kids my age had their favorite band and it wasn't chic for it to be The Beatles. That was too obvious…everyone loved The Beatles so you couldn't love The Beatles. A girl I knew then named Bonnie selected Herman's Hermits and fearlessly predicted that their music would still be popular long after everyone had forgotten John, Paul, Ringo and What'szisname.
I don't think Bonnie's forecast has fared too well but Herman's Hermits music is still played and a couple of their numbers were on my mixtape, partly because I liked them and partly because Bonnie's enthusiasm for the band was contagious and I very much wanted her to like me. Men have done far more destructive things to attract the affection of a good woman than to like Herman's Hermits records.
As you'll see, I had other Herman's Hermits songs on that mixtape…all for naught since Bonnie never went out with me. I believe this video is footage of the band performing at some venue but the audio track is an overdub of the record — which is why the lip sync is off in places. That's Peter Noone doing lead vocals, as he did on almost all their hits…
