Written by American songwriter Ritchie Cordell, this song with its distinctive bass lick and unique sounding ondioline, was released by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967, who also had follow up hits with 'Mony Mony' and 'Crimson and Clover', among others. Tommy James has said that the name 'Shondells' was just something that he felt had a musical sound to it, and that anything back then with 'ells' at the end was a possible name for a group!
'I Think We're Alone Now' got a revival in the 80's when American singer Tiffany recorded her version, and it was featured in the 2016 film '10 Cloverfield Lane' (starring John Goodman).
