No Milk Today

"No Milk Today" is a song that was written by Graham Gouldman and originally recorded by British pop band Herman's Hermits.

It was first released as a single by the Mancunian group in the UK in October 1966 and, with the B-side "My Reservation's Been Confirmed", enjoyed chart success, peaking at No.

[2] The lyrics refer to the practice, common at the time, of milkmen delivering fresh milk in bottles to residential houses each morning.

[3] Gouldman wrote the song for The Hollies after he saw a "no milk today" notice outside a friend's house one day, and his father observed that could be for various reasons.

[3] John Paul Jones, later of Led Zeppelin fame, was credited for introducing the chimes during the song, publicly praised by Peter Noone.
