"I Think We're Alone Now" is a song written by Ritchie Cordell. It was initially a 1967 hit for the American recording artists Tommy James and the Shondells, reaching #4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song has since been covered several times by other artists. The late 1987 recording by Tiffany reached #1 on the charts of various countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and New Zealand. One month earlier, another Tommy James song had also hit #1 - Billy Idol's version of Mony, Mony. Other cover versions have also charted, including those by The Rubinoos (#45 US, 1977) and Girls Aloud (#4 UK, 2006). ==Tommy James and the Shondells version== "I Think We're Alone Now" was a 1967 hit for Tommy James and the Shondells, reaching #4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 during a 17-week stay. The recording was produced by Ritchie Cordell and Bo Gentry. Rock critic Lester Bangs called the single "the bubblegum apotheosis". "I Think We're Alone Now" stands out as one of Tommy James' most successful recordings and was used in a scene in the 1980s horror film ''Mother's Day''. Like a lot of early Tommy James and the Shondells releases, only band members Tommy James and Eddie Gray were featured on the record (the rest of the band provided background vocals). Studio musicians were used as the rest of the rhythm section to back up the Shondells. These musicians include Artie Butler playing Ondioline electric keyboard, Al Gorgoni on guitar, Joe Macho on bass, Paul Griffin on piano, and Bobby Gregg on drums. Cordell wrote or co-wrote many songs for James, including the follow-up single "Mirage" and its B-side "Run, Run, Baby, Run", and 1968's "Mony Mony". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Think We're Alone Now」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
