"My Boyfriend Got a Beatle Haircut" is a novelty song by Canadian teen pop singer Donna Lynn.
It was one of several songs that capitalized on the growing popularity of The Beatles in the United States, and it particularly references the group's iconic mop-top hairdos.
Lyrics[edit]
The lyrics feature Lynn singing as a girl who fears that she's losing her boyfriend now that he has a haircut like those sported by The Beatles, which makes all the girls go wild for him. To save their relationship, she decides to get a haircut to match his.
History[edit]
"My Boyfriend Got a Beatle Haircut" was one of several songs released in early 1964 meant to capitalize on the Beatlemania phenomenon, which included Annie and the Orphans' "My Girl's Been Bitten by the Beatle Bug" and The Four Preps' "A Letter to the Beatles". It was given the Capitol Records release number 5127; as The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was numbered 5112, it was likely the first of these songs to be recorded. The single was recorded on January 14, 1964, and released on February 10th, one day after The Beatles made their U.S. television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.[1]
The single was a modest success, entering the Billboard Hot 100 on February 22, 1964, and spending four weeks there before quickly falling off. The song, as well as it's B-side "That Winter Weekend", would later be featured on Lynn's only album, Java Jones / My Boyfriend Got a Beatle Haircut, released in June 1964.
