"There's A Kind Of Hush," written by Les Reed and Geoff Stephens, was Herman's Hermits 11th and last top ten hit rising to the no. 4 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1967; Nine years later, the Carpenters charted with the song, landing at the no. 12 position in 1976 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (Whitburn, 2013). The first recording of the song was by the New Vaudeville Band in 1966 and found on their "Winchester Cathedra" album, and the first single of the song was recorded by the pre-teen group from Franklin, Ohio, Gary and the Hornets who had a minor local hit with the song in 1966 (ultimatepopculture, 2026). As an aside, "there was nobody named Herman in the group Herman’s Hermits. They got their name from lead singer Peter Noone, who someone remarked bore a slight resemblance to Sherman (the boy) in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. They shortened Sherman to Herman and became Herman’s Hermits" (M. Miller, classicsongoftheday, Dec. 18, 2025).

Lyrics:

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love

You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else
And I'm feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Move closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love

La la la
La la la
La la la

So listen very carefully
Move closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are fallin' in love

Yeah, they're fallin' in love
Hush, they're fallin' in love
Hush
