My Father wote this song in 1965 at a airport in san fancisco, after he meet my mom! I have the napkin so carole King is a liar and I know for a fact that this is true! This person that says she wrote is a frad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea what you are talking about. Carole King is not one of the listed co-writers of the song. 12.162.122.6 (talk) 14:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Source for this song
Thie melody of this song and the principal theme of Muzio Clementi's Opus 36, number 5, 3rd movement Rondo are the same. I feel there has to be a connection. This is not too far fetched a notion, Clementi was pretty standard fare for anyone taking piano lessons, so it. Ight be quite possible that one or both of the writers were familiar with the piece. Of course, this is all OR, so I am posting it here, in hopes someone might have some better source than my speculations. But almost certainly, if Clementi's work was still under copyright these guys would be facing the possibility of legal action.

 * I don't buy this connection, but whether or not I or anyone does, there must be a source that says the composers of the song based the melody off of Clementi. Otherwise it is OR and speculation. I am not convinced that the link to Clementi is sufficient just because it says "Groovy Kind of Love" in the title. Anyone could have put that there. --128.119.169.209 (talk) 22:02, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * the melody of "Groovy Kind of Love" is exactly the same as the first 8 measures of "Sonatina". No need for speculation--even if it was independently written it is an exact copy! Anyone can look up the song and verify for themselves. Chris2crawford (talk) 12:06, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Did the Turtles actually record a version of this song?
The intro paragraph refers to the Turtles (in addition to Phil Collins) as having covered this song. I see them credited on YouTube, etc--and maybe they performed it live--but I don't see the song included in any of their albums. Gettiton (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Use in Popular Culture
Shouldn't/Couldn't there be a section for this added to the article, for the song in general? We know it was used in an episode of the show New Girl. But I am like 99% certain it was also used in the hit show Friends, in the season 7 finale episode where the characters Monica & Chandler get married. It can be heard near the end of the episode, being played by the small orchestra in the background, specifically on a violin. 70.168.88.163 (talk) 04:19, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
