  • Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind? är en poplåt skriven av John Sebastian, inspelad 1965, och lanserad på singel 1966 av gruppen The Lovin' Spoonful, i vilken Sebastian var frontfigur. Låten finns också med på gruppens debutalbum Do You Believe in Magic. Den blev en popluär hitsingel i Nordamerika och delar av Europa, men i Storbritannien nådde den inte placering på singellistan. Låtens text rör en ung mans oförmåga att hela tiden sluta bli attraherad av olika kvinnor. (sv)

  • "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?" is a song written by John Sebastian and first released by his band the Lovin' Spoonful on their 1965 debut album Do You Believe in Magic. It was the second single released from the album and the most successful, reaching number 2 on the American Billboard charts for the week of June 11, 1966 (number 1 was "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones). It also reached number 2 in Canada. In New Zealand, the song charted at number 5. Billboard called the song an "easy rockin' ballad" that would be an "off-beat winner for the hot group." Cash Box described the song as an "easy-going, lyrical blues-tinged item which claims that romantic decisions are extremely difficult to make." The song has continued to be popular and has been included in many compilations of music of the period. In 1996, Denny's restaurants used the song for their $1.99 breakfasts. The song aired on an episode of The Wonder Years titled "Cocoa and Sympathy." In the 1999 film Dudley Do-Right, the song is given a big-band-style arrangement, and it starts with a swing dance battle between Snidely Whiplash and Dudley for Nell Fenwick, and evolves into a big production number. The lead vocals in this version are by Steve Tyrell. The Christian parody band ApologetiX included a parody, "Did You Ever Ask Where Cain Got His Wife?", on their 2010 album Soundprooof. (en)
