Song Info:"Love is All Around" is a song composed by Reg Presley and performed by The Troggs. Purportedly inspired by a television transmission of the Joy Strings Salvation Army band, the song was first released as single in the UK in October 1967, peaking at #5 in the charts. It went on to reach #7 on the Hot 100 in the US on 18 May 1968. This version features a string quartet and a 'tick tock' sound on percussion.
The song was used in The Gap's popular "Denim Dreams" commercial.
It is not to be confused with the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
"Love is All Around" has been covered by numerous artists, including R.E.M., with whom the Troggs subsequently recorded their 1992 comeback album Athens Andover.

The song was featured in the 1994 film Bulletproof Heart. With Swedish lyrics written by Peter Stedt the song was covered by Lotta Engberg as "Du ger mig av din kärlek".

It topped the UK singles chart after two weeks and, fueled by its appearance in the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral, remained there for fifteen consecutive weeks.
