17. Crystal Blue Persuasion (Tomy James and The Shondells)
The title came to James while he was reading the Bible (Book of Revelation, according to James... but sources cite the Song of Solomon).
It has been suggested that this song was also inspired by a book James had read called The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society (Jehovah's Witnesses). The book gives information about the future of mankind based on bible scripture. The book has a blue cover.
