"Mony Mony" is a 1968 single by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells,[4] which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart[3] and No. 3 in the U.S. Written by Bobby Bloom, Ritchie Cordell, Bo Gentry, and Tommy James, the song has appeared in various film and television works such as the Oliver Stone drama Heaven & Earth.[5] It was also covered by English singer-songwriter Billy Idol in 1981. Idol's version, which took in more of a rock sound, became an international top 40 hit and additionally revived public interest in the original garage rock single. Idol recorded a live version in 1985 which was ultimately released in 1987 where it became an even bigger hit than the Shondells 1968 original, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (Idol's original 1981 version failed to chart, although it did reach number seven on the dance charts.)
