擁有兩首美國排行榜冠軍歌曲的Tommy James and the Shondells樂團，在1968推出的這首《Mony Mony》，雖然只得到了第3名，但卻是當年英國的No.1，也是他們唯一進入英國排行榜前20名的歌曲。

剛開始，由於Tommy James和他的樂團所演唱的歌曲，都是一些旋律比較直向式的搖滾，故很快的便被歸入了「泡泡糖搖滾樂」的行列。像他們1967第4名的《I Think We're Alone Now》、第10名的《Mirage》，以及這首《Mony Mony》均難脫此類的曲風。而Tommy James也被標籤為「泡泡糖歌手」，這當然是有些貶抑之意 ( 一般說來，泡泡糖歌曲比較沒什麼「深度」。 )，使得他很不爽，因此，開始轉變風格朝向「迷幻搖滾 ( Psychedlic Rock )」。( 台長意見：不爽歸不爽，直到現今，還不是在舞台上猛唱這些歌？！可見泡泡糖歌一樣可以很受歌友的喜愛。)

另據Tommy James說，這首歌名的靈感是來自某日從住處的陽台望向紐約市大樓連成的天際線 ─ Mutual of New York。我倒不覺得這有何好特別再提出來的？若說Mony是曾經和他有怎樣關係的女生，或許大家還比較有興趣一些。

以下是1996的現場演唱版，唱得不錯，但時間拖得有些長。
