Description

“The Shoop Shoop Song (Its in His Kiss)” is a song written by Rudy Clark. The song was made a hit when recorded by Betty Everett, who hit No. 1 on the Cashbox magazine R&B charts with it in 1964. Recorded by dozens of artists and groups around the world in the decades since, the song became an international hit when remade by Cher in 1990.

Chers remake was cut for the soundtrack of her 1990 film Mermaids in which it played under the closing credits, and the singles U.S. release coincided with the November release of the film. It peaked at number thirty three on the Billboard Hot 100, and number one in the United Kingdom, where it remained for five weeks, selling a total of 520,000 copies, making it one of the biggest-selling singles by a female artist in Britain in the 1990s. The song was Chers first solo number one there. At the time, her previous number one in the United Kingdom had been in 1965 with her then husband Sonny Bono and their first hit: “I Got You Babe.”
Chers “The Shoop Shoop Song” also topped the charts in Austria, Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Spain; the single achieved a number two peak in Australia and top ten status in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.
The success of the single in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe was reflected in its addition to Love Hurts, her subsequent album, as released in those parts of the world, Australia and New Zealand. “The Shoop Shoop Song” was also included in the albums Canadian release but in the U.S. “The Shoop Shoop Song” was not available on a Cher album until the 1999 release of If I Could Turn Back Time: Chers Greatest Hits.

Music video
The original video for “The Shoop Shoop Song (Its in His Kiss)” was made to promote the movie Mermaids. The video features Cher with Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci, who played her daughters in the film, in a music studio in the clothes and styles of the 1960s period of the film, clips of which are shown throughout. Near the end Cher and the girls are shown in an alley spray-painting a wall. When Mermaids quickly came and went from theaters a revised video was issued which deleted the clips from the film.
A brief music video of the original version appeared at the start of the special DTV Romancin’, set to clips of kisses from Disney cartoons.
An episode of Tiny Toon Adventures also featured an animated music video of the original version, with Babs Bunny lip-syncing to the song.
