曲としては２度目の引用。

Composer: Phil Spector, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich
Producer: Jeff Barry
1st Recording Of “I Can Hear Music”
By late 1966, Philles Records head Phil Spector had soured somewhat on the record business and turned over production duties on this great ‘girl group’ track to Brill Building songwriter Jeff Barry （who would also produce such megahits as “I’m A Believer” for the Monkees and “Sugar Sugar” for The Archies）. While it barely scraped the lower ends of the three national record charts, the 1969 version of “I Can Hear Music” by The Beach Boys did crack the Top 25

With an opening melodic line inspired by Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet,” this was Lou’s controversial follow-up release to the #1 hit “Lightnin’ Strikes”. Due to complaints from some radio stations and members of the public about the sexually-tinged lyrics, MGM also released a version where Lou had replaced “we were makin’ out in the rain” with “we fell in love in the rain” and “our love went much too far” with “our love came like a falling star”

Ronettes -（Baby）, I Can Hear Music（Phil Chapman mix, 2016）

Philles 118 – BABY, I LOVE YOU （1963）
Philles 133 – I CAN HEAR MUSIC （1966）
Phil Spector and the’Wall of Sound’ aficionado of the highest order, PHIL CHAPMAN, spent a cloudy London afternoon one weekend in August 2016, layering the musical elements of these two classic Ronettes tracks. Quite a clever Spectorian mix to say the least. It certainly adds a new listening dimension to these songs which are sheer perfection to begin with.
