In July 1966, The Honeycombs released their version of the song with the title "It's So Hard". It was their penultimate single and it failed to chart.[6]
Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote that the "change in style for the Honeycombs coincides with the introduction of three new members. Has a walloping stamp beat, reminiscent of Dave Clark, with rattling tambourine and twangy guitar".
