User:B137/Mirage (song)

Mirage is the name of a song by Tommy James and the Shondells released in 1967 on the album I Think We're Alone Now. The song hit number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Canadian charts.

Origin of the song
This came about as the result of a studio mistake. Producer Bo Gentry inadvertently put the tape of their previous hit, "I Think We're Alone Now," on the player backwards. The group started listening to the chord progression as they played the reversed tape, and band member Ritchie Cordell wrote the lyrics to it.
