Hold On! (1966) -- (Movie Clip) Title Song Straightforward as it can be, the title song from Herman’s Hermits of Manchester, with Peter Noone fronting, backed up by legit-musician members Karl Green, Keith Hopwood, Barry Whitwam and Derek “Lek” Leckenby, the song by P.F. Sloan, opening MGM’s Hold On!, 1966.

Hold On! (1966) -- (Movie Clip) That Was Herman! Clever-ish bit in which manager Dudley (Bernard Fox) helps the Herman’s Hermits, about to invade the U.S.A, escape the English girl-mob by dressing as cops, then front man Peter Noone (called “Herman” in the picture) does a little acting, early in MGM’s Hold On!, 1966.

Hold On! (1966) -- (Movie Clip) I'm Leaning On The Lamp Post The most far-out staging in the picture, this time for another charting song (by Noel Gay, which reached #9 on Billboard in May of that year), Peter Noone leads Herman’s Hermits in space, Bernard Fox their manager, in Hold On!, 1966.
