Crimson and Clover is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells, written by Tommy James and Peter Lucia. It was one of the biggest hits of the 1960s, reaching #1 on the top 40 charts in 1969. It came off the album of the same name (1968), a huge hit. The song is famous for a unique vocal effect near the end of the song, in which Tommy James plugged his microphone into a guitar amplifier, flipped the tremolo switch, and repeatedly sang the line "crimson and clover, over and over", creating a wobbly effect to his voice.

It was used multiple times in the 2003 film Monster.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts also did a rendition of the song in 1982.

Bobby Conn, a chicago art rocker also did his intepretation of this classic on a very rare 7" LP with Never Get Ahead as well as Who's the Paul? #16.

Cher and her son Elijah Blue Allman performed the song as a duet for the soundtrack to A Walk On The Moon (1999).

Kelly Clarkson performed the song live a number of times towards the end of her 2005 tour.

The band Jimmy Eat World references this song in the track "A Praise Chorus" on their album Bleed American where near the end of the song they repeat the words "Crimson and clover, over and over" several times.
