Loro
Vorrei parlarti del mio bambino

Solo circa cinque piedi quattro
Dalla sua testa a terra
Sai, lei viene da queste parti
Quasi a mezzanotte

E lei si chiama G

Lei viene da queste parti
Quasi a mezzanotte
Mi fa sentire così bene
Voglio dire che mi fa sentire bene
Viene camminando per la mia strada
Oh, è venuta a casa mia
Bussa alla mia porta
E poi viene nella mia stanza
Sì, lei mi fa sentire bene
GLORIA (Gloria)

Lo griderò tutta la notte (Gloria)
Lo griderò ogni giorno (Gloria)
Sì, sì, sì, sì, sì, così bene (Gloria)
Va bene
È così brava (Gloria

A song's greatness is measured by how much of an impact it has long after it stops being played on the radio. Gloria is legendary in that it was seminal in the development of Garage Rock. And of course Garage Rock gave birth to so many vital genres that are still being heard today. Gloria still sounds badass to this day. It is timeless, memorable, sexual and rebellious. The essence of Rock n Roll.

Right on!

I agree with everything you said. This song is perfect rock and roll. Tough, melodic, sexual. Even the E chord that ends the song is a great moment. Also, I always liked the name of the band.
Rod Mcdonough
To this day, the guitar throughout this song is beyond perfection and stands on top for it's quality and consistency. The E, D, A chords with the tiny bell-like "ding" from the organ when the guitar hits A reels you in every time 58 years later. If you are like me, you need to hear it over and over again!
Tony's House
what's crazy is to realize it was Jimmy Page playing that guitar. He also played the guitar part on the "007 Theme" song from the James Bond movie "Goldfinger." those producers knew what they were doing when they brought him into the studio!
GuyTunes
It`s probably Clem Cattini playing the drums here. I`m doing my own version of this and didn`t realise how difficult it is to do what Jimmy Page is doing here, getting a perfect guitar recording while taking care to just use the top 3 strings.

@anthonypanneton923 WHAAT??? Jimmy? That's so cool! Have always loved this song

This song was the absolute turning point in music in the sixties. After an age of civilised, charming, harmonieus music and some rocking bluesy music by Elvis and Buddy Holly, this was falling straight out of heaven (or hell, as some might say). If you dared to tell your music teacher you loved Gloria, you were cursed and in some cases even expelled from school in that era, due to long hair as well.
After this everything was possible, and so it happened. A new start in music with brilliant results. This flowering, empowering period when hits were released more or less every day. The first single (Gloria) I bought in 1967 and my first LP was by Them as well. Still got it, 56 years later. Still listening to Friday’s Child, Story of Them, part one and two, It’s all over now baby blue, Here comes the night, etc.
Them’s inheritance wiil be there for a long time. Nowadays even my children still love sixties and seventies music. Must have got taste.
