Voice Of The Beehive 'I Think I Love You'

Chart Peak: 25

In a way, you could say they were ahead of the curve. Apparently this version of the old David Cassidy song was originally recorded for a compilation album of covers called Guilty Pleasures, at least a decade before Sean Rowley trademarked the name. It wasn't to be though, and in the end the track was destined for their second album and minor chart success.

So far so good, but at the end of the day it's still not actually a very good song, and the charm of the Beehives is squandered by the clumsy electronic production and some rather weak singing. It wasn't quite as cliched an idea back then but it wasn't much better of a one either. A pity we couldn't have had another of their self-penned hits instead.
