"Put Your Head on My Shoulder" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka. Anka's version, released as a single in 1959, became very successful, becoming a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was repopularized when released as a single by The Lettermen in 1968. This version peaked just outside the top forty of the Hot 100, but continued their streak of top forty adult contemporary hits.
The song was used in the videogame "Hitman Contracts," in a scene where Agent 47, the main character, discovers a mutilated girl's body hanging from the ceiling. The song plays in the background in an eerily disturbing tongue-in-cheek horror manner.
This song was also sang by the band called Good Charlotte in the mock teen comedy Not Another Teen Movie. The movie was released on 2001.
