baldyholly79's video: Wet Wet Wet The Troggs Love Is All Around

I remember this song topping the charts for what seemed like forever as a kid. We were jamming a little, learning Shania Twains 'Stiil The One', and i thought, hold on a minute, thats ' Love Is All Around'. lol "Love Is All Around" is a song composed by Reg Presley and performed by The Troggs. Purportedly inspired by a television transmission of the Joy Strings Salvation Army band, the song was first released as a single in the UK in October 1967, peaking at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart in late November 1967 and No. 7 on the Hot 100 chart in the US on 18 May 1968. This version features a string quartet and a 'tick tock' sound on percussion. Wet Wet Wet's version of "Love Is All Around" was released on 9 May 1994. It topped the UK Singles Chart after two weeks and, fueled by its appearance in the film, Four Weddings and a Funeral,[1] remained there for fifteen consecutive weeks. All told, the song spent 37 weeks on the Top 75 survey. As of November 2011, the song had sold 1,298,131 physical copies in the United Kingdom.[2] "We did everybody's head in the summer of 1994," commented the band's frontman, Marti Pellow, exactly a decade later. This led to some radio stations banning the song. The band themselves eventually took the decision to delete the record from sale.[3] Nevertheless, Pellow said, "I still think it's a brilliant record. Its strength is its sheer simplicity. Any band would give their eye teeth to have a hit record like that. I'm very proud of it
