Since we're fessing up, I'll have to mention Sam the Sham's other "hit": "Don't Fool With Fu Man Chu". Vortex: Didn't I see you at peace-stock walking around in a purple haze? More vintage psychedelia: "Pretty Ballerina" - The Left Banke
Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White ("everybody said it was a shame, that your Mama's been workin' on the chain gang"...) Louie, Louie - Kingsmen (Name of our neighborhood gang) Louie, Lou-I - Stories I'll Keep Holding On - Simply Red (one of the few songs I push the "repeat" button for...)
Amandarae: You're probably right. I usually double check these things but my collection is currently boxed and I was too lazy to verify it on Amazon. Really love that f***ing song. Reminds me how passionate I was in the teens (to the detriment of more practical pursuits). This is not to say that I was a teen when this song came out (turned 13 in 1966), but the soul of the song evokes that era. Makes me weep at present the state of pop music.
Mwilson: If you hate Sam-the-Sham, you were NEVER a Chicago greaser in the 60's. Long hair, black leather coats, baggy greys, combat boots and, oh my, "sweet little 16 on Friday nights"! Sold-my-soul for rock 'n roll -Ahooooooooooooooooooo
