and an enduring high point of Christie's career.Songs That Mention California (with lyrics) This combination of slick delivery and appealing hooks made 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine' a Top Ten hit in the U.S. Christie tops it off with an exuberant vocal that lives up to the vocal gymnastics required by the melody and pile on plenty of pop-crooner charm. Christie's recording adds a few more sugary hooks to make the confection complete: the backing track is built on a shiny, chiming bed of harpsichord riffs and the backing vocalists repeat Christie's lines in rhythmic fashion in the background. Romeo's melody lives up to this demanding task, using constantly twisting verse melodies that swoop high and low to capture the verbose lyrics and bringing in an exuberant, ever-ascending chorus to release the tension. 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine' was penned by Tony Romeo, a songwriter who soon became well-known for penning Partridge Family hits like 'I Think I Love You.' The song's lyrics are a simple declaration of romantic intent: 'I'll try to get to your soul/I'll try to get to your mind/I'm gonna make you mine.' However, the lyrics are unique in that they are so wordy they require a tricky, almost Gilbert- and Sullivan-styled rhythm to work as pop song lyrics. The best example is 'I'm Gonna Make You Mine,' a snappy pop tune that gave Christie one of his biggest post-'Lightning Strikes' hits. Although his output on Buddah explored many subgenres of pop besides bubblegum, he did record the occasional track with a sugary-sweet flavor. In 1968, Lou Christie signed on with the home of bubblegum music, Buddah Records.
