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 1960's, 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. James wrote the song about his favorite color and his favorite flower (clover isn't a flower!).
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.
