I Think I Love You by Partridge Family
"Hilarious!!! Timeless and fun."
Originally composed by Tony Romeo in 1970, this track was the debut single for The Partridge Family (the pop group from a musical sitcom of the same name). Their recording made it to number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 (x).
It has been covered many times, most famously by Voice of the Beehive, Kaci, and Perry Como.
The popularity of this song is surprising to me since it came from a television show. It would be like if the original songs from Glee became number one hits.
But I can roll with it. I Think I Love You is catchy, and the lyrics are relatable. I mean, how many times have I woken up with this feeling I didn't know how to deal with?
Almost every morning.
Anyway, the whole thing is pretty quirky. Those opening ba ba bas give me a "polka" vibe, and the choppy melody sort of keeps that up, and I'm really just tickled by the whole thing. I wish it was a number 1 Billboard hit right now because I would love for this to be on the radio.
Can you imagine this song being as ubiquitous as Justin Beiber was after he released Purpose?
If I was around in 1970, that intro would be the bane of my existence. Like Adele's Hello.
Like, you're just driving around in your car, and then baaa ba baa baa, babaa ba baa ba.
You're at the store and suddenly baaa ba baa baa, babaa ba baa ba.
You're in class and the person next to you is singing baaa ba baa baa, babaa ba baa ba.
Kills me.
But yeah, I like the song. It's fun, and the lyrics are actually pretty meaningful if you're into that kind of thing.
