Herman's Hermits are an English rock and pop group formed in 1963 in Manchester and fronted by singer Peter Noone.

Between March and August 1965 in the United States, the group logged twenty-four consecutive weeks in the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot 100 with five singles, including the two number ones "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am".
