Great song! Cool story, too...I can see how it would stick in your brain after hearing under it under those circumstances.

LOve this thread. Here's two from my hometown. Not performance footage and the guy who does the intro is a bit of a tool, but great songs. May be too pop for some: The Choir - It's Cold Outside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTuNO9DjjqM Circus - Stop, Wait & Listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEijFKGhQBc&feature=channel_page My fav band of all time, Dr. Feelgood. I was lucky enough to see them open (with Skyhooks - now there is a band to look up) for Journey on their first tour. Wilko Johnson, in the days before wireless, was running around the stage like a maniac during his solos getting all tangled up in his cord while the late great Lee Brilleaux would do one handed pushups and hump the stage and drummer the Big Figure and bassist John B. (Sparko) Sparks kept the solid rhythm going. Just amazing live band. Never get the credit they deserve.

Pretty much the entire Dunwich catalog from the mid sixties is killer. Shadows, American Breed, The Knaves, Del-Vettes and one of my favorites, Sounds Unlimited. This song still blows me away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHt7fV-lK1I
The O'kaysions - Girlwatcher... It may not be an exact fit but look at this dude hes def on some methamphetamine and hes rocking a spinal tap cucumber on 60s TV. No irony about my love for this song tho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raJWuz7qQVc
"Who's next?" they're asking in the MJ thread. Well, sadly, apparently it's Sky Saxon: http://skysaxon.com/ The Seeds - Can't Seem To Make You Mine (on American Bandstand): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV8KvKYRxig RIP
Though I fiercely love me some Joy Division, I am scratching my head as to what they're doing in this thread. Definitely wouldn't consider them garage rock at all.
I suppose one could dicker about this kind of stuff endlessly. Joy Division was arguably a punk or post-punk band. The punk movement had it roots in the so-called garage bands. I think the song "She's Lost Control" has a very garage band-like feeling with its simple chording and growling lyrics. Like most other musical labels, the term "garage band" is very slippery and in the end mostly subjective. It is broad enough to include even psychedelic bands like Jefferson Airplane. From the Chicago Sun-Times: "It's an odd success story. An obscure garage band from England releases two singles in the United States. Commercial radio ignores them. No American album is released. And a planned tour is scrapped when the lead singer kills himself. Ten years later, however, the band is considered to be among the most influential of the decade. A collection of singles sells a respectable 200,000 copies and is still going strong. And the band's remaining members have regrouped and are stars themselves. The original band was the Manchester gloom-rockers Joy Division, and Joy Division's successor is New Order, currently approaching the crest of stardom with a new album, "Technique," ..."
Sorry geo, nope, not Garage, no argument. It's like when people call the Kinks the first "Metal" band for "She's Really Got Me" I don't care, it's NOT metal, "Oh but it laid some ground work" so what? Same with this, just because there's the "feeling" there doesn't mean it "is." I'm very picky, and you're right we can all argue it forever, so let's not. This is my opinion on it, though. Does this count? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-BYzaDwNoE The Gories anyone? Nitroglycerine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfuXJL6JTIU Anyone have any good "Spiders" videos? I doubt there are any, but I wouldn't be as into Alice Cooper if it weren't for the Spiders.
Blooddrinker-This might help! ザ・スパイダース You could also look for clips from Go Forward-which is a Group Sounds movie they starred in.
Speaking of the Gories, they're playing tonight in Detroit with the Oblivians. Also playing in Memphis too.
How can we argue about it forever if there is "no argument"? It's not important. It's the music that matters, not the labels we try to impose on it.
My sister and bro-in-law are going tonight. Jay Reatard is playing downstairs too. Should be a great show.

Great stuff Stu. Thanks for getting this thread back on track. That Lollipop Shoppe track is a favorite. Fred Cole is a living legend.
I dunno if this is a well known fact here but this is Nobody Loves the Hulk by the Traits. It was a 45 that Marvel Comics gave away with memebership in the Merry Marvel Marching Society in the 60s. I know theres probably tons of former fanboys who can elucidate further but this so just rocks. I did see a live version of the song somewhere but im having issues tracking it down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2OI7sogwqY
Couldn't find a good video or very good song version, but this is Arthur Lee and Love doing My Little Red Book:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIe1BaIVy2s I still have my 45 version of this from when it was released.
I didn't put the song title up but I posted the Zakary Thaks version of little red book on page 1, I love it.
