One which passed me by until I heard Everything But The Girl's 1992 CD EP, "Covers". It turns out that the original version was written in 1956, but became a crossover hit by American rhythm and blues duet Mickey & Sylvia, which was released in late November 1956 by the Groove record label. The song was written by Bo Diddley under the name of his wife at the time, Ethel Smith and has been recorded by many artists: Bo Diddley in June, 1956, Mickey & Sylvia a few months later, Lonnie Donegan, The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly (released 10 years after his death), Paul McCartney and Wings, Dolly Parton and Kenney Rogers, and Everything But The Girl among others. A very beautiful and simple song, outlining what love and being in it are about and just how awkward things can be if you are smitten. "Love, love is strange A lot of people take it for a game Once you get it you're in an awful fix After you've had it you'll never wanna quit" Love is Strange
Love, love is strange A lot of people take it for a game Once you get it you're in an awful fix After you've had it you'll never wanna quit Many people , don't understand They think loving is money in the hand Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss When you leave me sweet kisses I miss Love, love is strange A lot of people take it for a game Once you get it you're in an awful fix After you've had it you'll never wanna quit Many people , don't understand They think loving is money in the hand Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss When you leave me sweet kisses I miss
