Composition

edit

The writing of the song was credited to Ritchie Cordell, who wrote or co-wrote many songs forTommy James,including the follow-up single to "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage"and its B-side" Run, Run, Baby, Run ", and 1968's"Mony Mony".Cordell and his regular songwriting partnerBo Gentrygave the song to Tommy James, who thought it sounded like a hit.[5]According to Tommy James, "I Think We're Alone Now" was written by Cordell and Gentry, but as Gentry was still under contract toKama Sutra Records,the head ofRoulette Records,Morris Levy,agreed to a deal naming Cordell as sole writer but splitting theroyaltieswith Gentry.[6]

The song was originally written as a slow ballad, but when James, Cordell and Gentry recorded a quick demo, they made the song faster. Tommy James later wrote: "Ritchie and Bo originally wrote the song as a mid-tempo ballad. I said no way and started speeding it up.... I.. put on a nasally, almost juvenile-sounding lead vocal, and without realizing it, we invented"bubblegum"music."[6]They played the song to Levy, who approved of it, and it was then given a proper recording.[5]

Recording

edit

The recording was produced by Ritchie Cordell and Bo Gentry. Tommy James recorded the vocal on the Christmas Eve of 1966 so that the song could be released in the new year.[5]

Like many early Tommy James and the Shondells releases, only band members Tommy James and Eddie Gray were featured on the record, with the rest of the band providing background vocals. Studio musicians were used as the rest of the rhythm section to back up the Shondells. These musicians includeArtie ButlerplayingOndiolineelectric keyboard,Al Gorgonion guitar, Joe Macho on bass,Paul Griffinon piano, andBobby Greggon drums.

They recorded the bass and drums first, and the rest then layered onto the recording. They also made the choruses quieter so that the verses became much more prominent. This was the first time that they recorded this way, a process they would replicate in many other later records to produce their signature sound.[5]

The version that James and the Shondells originally performed uses hard-driving arrangements for its two verses, both fiercely performed so as to convey a sense of urgency. However, the refrain (performed twice) is almost whispered and indeed followed by a sound effect of crickets chirping, giving an atmosphere of forbidden activities that are being deliberately kept hidden. The fade-out uses the lyrics of the refrain, but this time, the hard-driving arrangements are resumed.

Release

edit

"I Think We're Alone Now" was a 1967 hit song forTommy James and the Shondells,reaching number 4 on theBillboardHot 100 chart during a 17-week stay. Rock criticLester Bangscalled the single "thebubblegumapotheosis".

"I Think We're Alone Now" stands out as one of James's most successful recordings. It was featured in the horror filmMother's Day(1980), the science-fiction thriller10 Cloverfield Lane(2016) and the finale episode of the fantasy web seriesThe Umbrella Academy(2024).

Background

edit

"I Think We’re Alone Now″ was re-popularized when American pop singerTiffanycoveredthe song when she was 15 for her debut album,Tiffany,which was released on August 16, 1987, on theMCA Recordslabel.[19]WhenGeorge Tobin,Tiffany's manager and producer, gave her thecassetteof the original version byTommy James & the Shondells,Tiffany hated the idea of recording a version of her own, mostly because she thought the song was neither modern enough nor hip enough. According to Tiffany, she also did not know that the song is about the prohibition of teenage sex.[5]The producers then remade the song as a dance track, and when Tiffany played it to friends, they started to dance. Tiffany returned the next day to record the song in around four takes.[5]

Tiffany also recorded "I Think We're Alone Now", but in a different arrangement, for her sixth album and her second as anindieartist,Dust Off and Dance,which became her onlyelectronicaalbum. It was released in 2005. For the 2007 compilation albumI Think We're Alone Now: 80s Hits and More,her vocals were re-recorded, using the remixed 1987 backing track as a guide. Her earlier version is referenced in the alternative groupWeezer's song "Heart Songs" on the band's 2008Red Album.

In 2019, Tiffany re-recorded the song with a heavier, more guitar-driven sound and released it online.

It was used byIkeafor their 2024 holiday ads.

Chart performance

edit

"I Think We're Alone Now" was Tiffany's biggest hit. Her version of the song spent two weeks at number one on theBillboardHot 100chart and three weeks at number one on theUK Singles Chart.It charted first on August 28, 1987 and August 29, 1987.[22]

"I Think We're Alone Now" was not the first single from Tiffany's debut album. The first single was "Danny", but radio started picking up "I Think We're Alone Now", another selection on the album. It became a runaway number-one hit and was the 18th-highest-selling single for 1987[23]and the 32nd-highest-selling single in Australia for 1988.[24]InCanadait reached No. 1 the week after another cover of aTommy James and the Shondells' song,Mony Mony,also reached No. 1.[25]

Critical reception

edit

Max Bell fromNumber Onewrote, "This chestnut is more interesting if only because Tiffany is a 16-year old fromOklahomawho looks like being America's first teenage singing star in years. This was Number One over the pond and it's obvious Tiffany has the credentials to become a countrified threat toMadonna's crown. She'll be Miss America 1988! A celebrity is born! "[21]Sue Dando fromSmash Hitsdeemed the song "average" and described it as a "rather wretched thing" with "so slightly raunchy female vocals and insubstantial pop toons that are infuriatingly catchy".[26]Lawrence Donegan ofRecord Mirrorstated that Tiffany's number-one hit on the US charts "proves you don't need to be beautiful and talented to get on in this world".[27]James Hamiltonof the same magazine called the song a "flurryingly energetic(0-)130+1⁄2-0 bpm revival ".[28]

Music video

edit

The accompanyingmusic videofor "I Think We're Alone Now" was directed entirely by Tobin, and shot in numerous shopping malls in Utah, which echoed the way her early career had been promoted:Fashion Place Mall(Murray, Utah),Crossroads Plaza Mall(Salt Lake City, Utah), 49th Street Galleria (Murray, Utah) and Ogden City Mall (Ogden, Utah). Elements of the video were filmed in the now demolishedBull RingCentre inBirmingham,UK.The video was featured in the 2012 filmTedand the song was also on the soundtrack and appears inits sequel.

In 2019, a new video directed by Marc Trojanowski, featuring the re-recorded 2019 version of the song and filmed in various locations around Los Angeles, was released online.

Background

edit

In 2006, the British-Irish all-femalepopgroupGirls Aloudrecorded a cover version of "I Think We're Alone Now" for theirgreatest hits albumThe Sound of Girls Aloudand thesoundtrackofIt's a Boy Girl Thing.Girls Aloud's version was produced byBrian Higginsand his production teamXenomania.The song was recorded just days before the group's greatest hits was sent to be manufactured. Following a single remix, "I Think We're Alone Now" was released as a contender for theChristmas number one.It reached the top five on the UK Singles Chart.

The music video, inspired byheist films,features Girls Aloud robbing aLas Vegascasino. "I Think We're Alone Now" was promoted through various live appearances and was featured on 2007'sThe Greatest Hits Tour.The track was criticised and labelled "pointless" by contemporary music critics.[citation needed]

Release

edit

Until three days before the greatest hits was manufactured, Girls Aloud was set to record a cover ofIrene Cara's "What A Feeling",which they had performed on theirChemistry Tour.[66]But members of Girls Aloud had called their record label on a Friday afternoon to say that they would rather record "I Think We're Alone Now"; the group recorded the song the following morning, and the album was mastered on Monday, three days afterwards.[66]The album version was drastically reworked for the single release, due to the initial version having been so hastily recorded. Higgins said that "Xenomania used the only idea they could think of, which was to make the song sound like 'Something Kinda Ooooh.' "[66]The single features an alternative vocal arrangement and an entirely new backing track. Later pressings of the greatest hits include the single version of "I Think We're Alone Now".

The song was released on December 18, 2006.[67]It was available on twoCD singleformats and as adigital download.The first disc included a previously unreleased track entitled "Why Do It?", co-written by Girls Aloud.[68]The second CD format features a number of remixes, as well as a cover of theChristmasclassic "Jingle Bell Rock".Girls Aloud's cover of" Jingle Bell Rock "was originally featured on the Christmas bonus disc that came with the limited edition of 2005'sChemistry.[69]The artwork for the second disc features Girls Aloud draped over aFenderguitar amplifier.

Girls Aloud's version of "I Think We're Alone Now" appears on the soundtrack to the filmIt's a Boy Girl Thing(2006), starringSamaire ArmstrongandKevin Zegers.

Critical response

edit

Girls Aloud's cover of the song was widely slated by music critics. An unidentified staff writer atWalesOnlinedescribed it as "cheap, obnoxious, totally pointless and, destined to be loved only by people too out of their heads on Christmas spirit to know any better".[70]Adam Burling ofmusicOMHexclaimed, "Christmas does funny things to people. Even pop groups as reliably excellent at singles as Girls Aloud toss out pointless, lazy covers in a ruthless attempt to snare that coveted seasonal chart-topper fromThe X Factor's clutches. "[71]ABBC Musicreview ofThe Sound of Girls Aloudchose to "ignore the Xmas party cover".[72]Yahoo! Musicstated "the karaoke rendition[s] of [...] Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now' really drag this collection down".[73]John Murphy of musicOMH unfavorably contrasted the cover with Tiffany's rendition, saying the former "actually does the impossible by making Tiffany's version sound good".[74]

Chart performance

edit

The single debuted at number 50 on theUK Singles Charta week prior to its physical release, due to download sales.[75]The following week, "I Think We're Alone Now" peaked at number 4 on the Christmas chart, being beaten byLeona Lewis' "A Moment Like This".[76]The song slipped to number 7 in its second week.[77]It spent a total of seven weeks in the top 75.[78]The song also peaked at number 11 on theIrish Singles Chartand spent six weeks in Ireland's top 50.[79]As their 17th best selling single it has sold a total of 85,000 copies.

Music video

edit

The video, directed by Alex Hemming and Nick Collett, is based, as stated above, on films likeOcean's 11andCasino.[66][80]During the video, the group attempt to rob a Las Vegas casino.[80]

Three different endings to the video were shot. The first shows the girls getting caught and tied up after opening a box full of money in the casino'ssafe;the second featuresKimberley Walsh(with her back to the camera) removing her clothes in front of casino owners, causing them to faint; and the third features the girls playing with the money.3customers were allowed to vote on their favourite ending from November 8 to November 15, 2006. This last ending won the vote, despite the version with Kimberley stripping being uploaded to the internet.[81]In March 2007, all versions of the video were made available to download on iTunes, though in the UK Store only.[82]
