Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around

Song Info:

"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 single in the UK in October 1967, peaking at #5 in the charts. It went on to reach #7 on the Hot 100 in the US on 18 May 1968. This version features a string quartet and a 'tick tock' sound on percussion.

The song was used in The Gap's popular "Denim Dreams" commercial.

It is not to be confused with the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

"Love is All Around" has been covered by numerous artists, including R.E.M., with whom the Troggs subsequently recorded their 1992 comeback album Athens Andover. R.E.M.'s cover was a B-side on their 1991 "Radio Song" single, and they also played it during their first appearance at MTV's Unplugged series that same year. Wet Wet Wet's cover, for the soundtrack to the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral, was an international hit and spent 15 weeks at number one in the UK Singles Chart. The Troggs' original version was more recently featured in the 1998 film Get Real.

The song was featured in the 1994 film Bulletproof Heart. With Swedish lyrics written by Peter Stedt the song was covered by Lotta Engberg as "Du ger mig av din kärlek".

Wet Wet Wet's version of "Love Is All Around" was released on May 9, 1994. It topped the UK singles chart after two weeks and, fueled by its appearance in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral, remained there for fifteen consecutive weeks. All told, the song spent 37 weeks on the Top 75 survey. "We did everybody's head in 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.^[1]eye teeth to have a hit record like that. I'm very proud of it."^[2] Nevertheless, Pellow said, "I still think it's a brilliant record. Its strength is its sheer simplicity. Any band would give their

Reg Presley famously spent some of the proceeds, which he received for composing the song, on crop circle research. He also bought a new home^{[citation needed]}.

Pellow recorded his own version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile.
