  • Bits and Pieces är en låt komponerad Dave Clark och Mike Smith, och utgiven som singel av The Dave Clark Five 1964. Den var uppföljare till deras genombrottslåt "Glad All Over", och blev också en stor hit. Den framförs som antifon sång mellan sångaren Mike Smith och resten av gruppen och produktionen framhäver trummorna starkt. (sv)

  • "Bits and Pieces" is a song by British beat group The Dave Clark Five. The single hit number 2 in the UK and number 4 in the US, as well as being a success in other countries. It was number 2 or 4 in Australia, number 1 in Canada and Ireland, and number 4 in the Netherlands. In Germany, it reached number 20. Lead vocals are sung by Mike Smith, who also co-wrote the song. "Bits and Pieces" is one of several Dave Clark Five songs written by Ron Ryan, rather than by Clark. The song is in antiphonal style, with Mike Smith singing a solo line and the whole group responding. The drums have a very prominent part in the accompaniment. Additionally, some of the song's unique percussion was supplied by an exercise board, which two of the band members (reportedly quite intoxicated) stamped on, not always perfectly in time to the music. Robert Christgau, writing in 1969, called the song "a wonderfully serviceable rock throwaway, raucous and meaningless, perfect for shouting into the night." Cash Box described it as "a hard-hitting rocker that the boys pound out in a steady, heavy beat style." The song's distinct stomp-like pattern has been sampled by numerous musicians. The Dave Clark Five performed "Bits and Pieces" in an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. (en)

De soloïst is Mike Smith. Hij schreef ook het nummer, samen met Dave Clark. De stijl lijkt op beurtzang. Om beurten zingen Mike Smith en de groep als geheel een regel. In de begeleiding speelt Dave Clarks drumstel een prominente rol. (nl)
