The engineer Adrian Kerridge developed a thumping drum sound for this track, which became known as the Tottenham sound. Tottenham is an area in North London, where Dave Clark came from.
Crystal Palace Football Club have adopted this song as their theme song. When they reached the FA Cup Final in 1990, the Crystal Palace players teamed up with a UK group called the Fab Four to record a cover version of this - it reached #50 in the UK.
Lead vocalist Mike Smith came across a song called "Glad All Over" by Carl Perkins and wrote a new song with the same title. Smith recalled, "We had lost out on 'Do You Love Me' to Brian Poole and so Dave (Clark) thought we should do an original. He asked me to come up with something and I looked through my record collection for a suitable title."
