"You Came, You Saw, You Conquered!" is a 1969 song by the Ronettes. It was their final charting U.S. hit, reaching No. 108 Billboard and No. 92 Cash Box.[1] In Canada, the song peaked at No. 73 for two weeks.[2] It was the first of a series of non-album single releases by the group.
The title of the song is a reference to 'Veni, vidi, vici', a Latin phrase popularly attributed to Julius Caesar, who is said to have used the phrase in a letter to the Roman Senate after he had achieved a swift, conclusive victory in battle.
