"I Saw Her Over again" is a pop vocal recorded by the U.Southward. song group The Mamas & the Papas in 1966. Co-written past band members John Phillips and Denny Doherty, it was released as a single in June 1966 (WLS played it nigh of that calendar month[one]) and peaked at number one on the RPM Canadian Singles Chart, number eleven on the Great britain Singles Chart, and number v on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart the week of July xxx, 1966.[2] It appeared on their eponymous second album in September 1966.
I of three songs co-written by the two male person members of the grouping (the others being "Got a Feelin'" and "For the Love of Ivy"), "I Saw Her Again" was inspired past Doherty's brief affair with Michelle Phillips, then married to John Phillips, which, combined with an matter between Michelle Phillips and Gene Clark of The Byrds,[3] [4] resulted in the brief expulsion of Michelle from the group.[v] While mixing the record, engineer Bones Howe punched in the coda vocals too early on, inadvertently including Denny'southward false start on the third chorus ("I saw her..."). Despite attempting to correct the error, the miscued vocal could still be heard on playback. Producer Lou Adler liked the effect and told Howe to go out it in the final mix.[6]
Lou Adler has said that this song was specifically done to try and capture the flavor of what the Beatles had been doing, and that it was intentionally written to be a single.
A light-hearted music video was made to promote the single, in which the four members go far exterior De Voss, a clothes shop on Dusk Plaza on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles,[vii] by motorbike (John) then auto (in club, Michelle, Denny, Cass), with Michelle and Cass "examining" various garments and John spraying the air (and his spectacles suddenly disappearing). Denny smokes a cigarette before they all lie on the floor and hurl clothes around. They then get out the store (first Denny and Cass, and then John and Michelle), walking abroad from their vehicles. Nearly x seconds into the video, John and Michelle suddenly switch between their motorcycle and car before entering the store.
1 of the grouping'due south most popular songs, "I Saw Her Again" has been featured on numerous compilation albums and is frequently titled "I Saw Her Again Last Night", such as on the sleeve of their outset hits collection Goodbye to the First Golden Era in Oct 1967.
Billboard described the single as a "lyric rhythm rocker" that was a "hot follow-up to their 'Monday, Mon' smash".[8] Cash Box described the song equally a "rhythmic, pulsating folk-stone handclapper almost a lucky fella who has finally found Miss Right."[nine]
The mono 45 version omits the orchestra instrumental suspension and chorus that follows on the stereo mix, about likely to reduce the running time for the single release, as many 45's of that era were similarly edited for radio play. All Dunhill albums that include the song erroneously show the single playing time of 2:l instead of the correct fourth dimension of iii:10.
