- The Shadows of Knight single was released in December 1965 (later included in the album Gloria) and reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966, topping the original in the U.S. only in areas where Them's version could not be played, because it contained the words, "She comes to my room". Some radio stations objected to this, most notably Chicago's station WLS. The Chicago-based band Shadows of Knight's version replaced this line with "She calls out my name."[8][9]

It memorably begins, "Jesus died for somebody's sins / But not mine".

The lyrics included lines about drummer Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.
