The Turtles You Showed Me Lyrics:
You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
Oh, it's true
Oh, I love you

You showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way
Oh, it's true
You fell for me too

And when I tried it
I could see you fall
And I decided
It's not a trip at all

You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now, you love me too
Oh, it's true
We're in love, we two

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Oh oh oh oh oh
We're in love, we two
We two

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you

You showed me how to say
Exactly what you say
In that very special way

You taught it to me too
Exactly what you do
And now you love me too

Now, you love me too
Now, you love me too
Now, you love me too
...

1 "You Showed Me," got as far as #6 on the Singles Billboard Hot 100 chart in
March of 1969.

2 Roger McGuinn, the well-known, lead singer, gutarist, songwriter and producer
from the musical group, The Byrds, was born James Joseph McGuinn, III. In 1965
he officially changed his name to James Roger McGuinn. Ergo, the composer of
this song, using the name Jim McGuinn, is much better known as Roger McGuinn and
many sources credit him using Roger instead of Jim.

3 The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands, is a comedic, concept album, on
which the group pretends to be different bands (with such names as, The Bigg
Brothers, Nature's Children, The U.S. Teens, featuring Raoul, & The Fabulous
Dawgs), each with a song in a different genre. The outer covers (on all but the
Rhino reissues) show the Turtles in evening dress, playing hosts of the "show,"
while the inside gatefold shows them in different costumes for each song. The
Turtles wrote nine of the 12 songs on the original LP, with the intention of
mocking the entire spectrum of popular music. There are two bonus tracks on the
Sundazed CD re-issue of 1994.

4 At the time of this recording the band lineup was: Howard Kaylan, (lead
vocals), Mark Volman (backup vocals, guitar, saxophone), Al Nichol (lead
guitar), John Barbata (drums) & Jim Pons (bass guitar).

A couple of interesting side notes:
The group originally called themselves, The Crossfires from the Planet Mars, but
when they signed with White Whale Records, they changed their name to the
Tyrtles as a homage to the Byrds. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before they
discovered that people were struggling with the pronunciation of the name and
changed it again -- to the correct spelling of the word.
With the break-up of the Turtles in 1970, Kaylan and Volman joined the Mothers
of Invention (Frank Zappa's band) as "The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie," since the
use of the Turtles name (and even their own names) was prohibited by their
contract with White Whale. Flo & Eddie, as they soon became known, recorded
albums with the Mothers and later released a series of records on their own.
Frank Zappa claimed that his association with Kaylan and Volman was inspired by
a DJ's comment that Kaylan & Volman could make the Mothers as big as the
Turtles. "If you want to be as big as the Turtles, have a few Turtles in your
band," Zappa reportedly claimed. The collaboration with Zappa lasted until a
jealous fan attacked and seriously injured Zappa when the Mothers were
performing at the Rainbow Theatre in London in December 1971.

4a Although "You Showed Me" was one of the early songs in the Byrds canon, it
was not released by them until 1969, after the Turtles' version enjoyed it's
somewhat successful run. Other covers include: Joe Algeri; Jim Basnight; Gene
Clark; Kahala Moon; The Lettermen; The Lightning Seeds; Roger McGuinn; Lutricia
McNeal; Hugo Montenegro; The Now Generation; Salt-N-Pepa; 3 Balls of Fire; Venus
in Bluejeans; et al.
