汤米和罗拉的故事
专辑：《Here's the Answer》/ 1960年《告诉罗拉我爱她》（Tell Laura I Love Her）/ 《Here's the Answer》
《告诉汤米我想念他》（Tell Tommy I miss him）/ 《Here's the Answer》
《告诉罗拉我爱她》（Tell Laura I Love Her）创作于美国60年代的叙事歌曲，曾获当年美国十佳流行歌曲。香港电影《新难兄难弟》中，被用来做电影插曲后，更广为国内听众所熟悉。
这首歌曲在美国流行开后，很快传到英国。在当时保守的英国社会风气下，作为死亡摇滚的代表作，歌曲因语涉死亡，被定为“反道德、亵渎生命”一度引起争议，曾被英国BBC禁播。直到英国歌手Ricky Valance在英国重新录制发行，才通过一家影响力比较小的电台不断播出，人气迅速上升，最终获得当年英国单曲排行榜第一名。
作为对这首歌曲的呼应，女歌手斯基特·戴维斯（Skeeter Davis）以罗拉的口吻唱了一首《告诉汤米我想念他》（Tell Tommy I miss him），回应汤米的爱。
