"I Saw Him Standing There" by Tiffany was a cover version of The Beatles' song "I Saw Her Standing There". She released it on her debut self-titled album. She changed the lyrics to "him" instead of "her".
The music video was a live performance of the song in front of thousands of screaming fans like her previous videos it got a lot of play from video stations such as MTV.
Tiffany's raspy vocals give new texture to the classic song. It's also considered one of the best covers for the song.[citation needed]
Apparently, before the release of "I Saw Him Standing There" with "Mr. Mambo" as the B-side, MCA released a version of the single with the two sides reversed (with a different catalog number). They may have decided at the last minute to change the A and B sides around.
"I Saw Him Standing There" was another hit for Tiffany. It was a top ten hit in the U.S. as well as the U.K.
