  • OH HELL MORE MEMORIES!!! I am finding ALL the cool music I listened to when I was young...and YES, I listend to the Yardbirds...the scratching sound from the guitar on this is song is what Jeff Beck did when he was with the Yardbirds....but the Yardbirds and Count 5 were around at the same time.....very Jeff Beckish....

  • I believe that like The Syndicate of Sound,"Little Girl"(San Jose, Ca.), and Smashmouth, "Walking on the Sun,(San Jose/Campbell, Ca.), The Count Five, "Psychotic Reaction"(San Jose, Ca.) are the only three bands from this part of the Bay Area with hit singles.

  • Long live garage rock!

  • I CAN'T THIS SONG LOUD ENOUGH.

  • Nuggets!!!

  • I'd give almost anything to know what kind of fuzz box they used on that guitar. It sounds so cool!

  • @ryanspeed We used to have Re-verb in our cars back in the day of the 8-track. Perhaps that is what you are questioning.

  • one of ma fave tunes from tha 60's/wynn

  • I love the the instruments just roll in in the beginning. Especially the guitar and drums

  • so good

  • My sister LOVES this song! Me too. ROCK ON SIS!

  • Collective 'I' feel soul collective!

  • This is an awsome song : )

  • The only thing I don't like about this tune is its to damn short!!

  • love this song

  • A CKDJ Favourite in the 60's.

  • I used to hear this song on the now defunct L.A. oldies station, KRLA 1110 AM; my favorite DJ was Johnny Hayes, with his Top 11 Countdown, which listed the top 11 on L.A. Top 40, on any given day; the years chronicaled(sp?)were 1955 thru 1977. I first listened to KRLA in the early '80s when I was in junior high at the time. =)

  • I rememer this song very will. My Dad was a A&r man, an I use to go throygh his junk records. I found this single on Double Shot records, Owned by Irwin Zucker.

    I told my dad this wasn't junk, and he said he would work this song. He thanked me until the day he died. I love this song.

  • I haven't heard this in ages and had forgotten how much influence the Yardbirds had even on American garage rock bands of the time. Thanks for posting.

  • You're welcome, dantean-san!!

    Otaku3 (*^_^)b

  • @dantean Believe it or not they claim that they had never heard of the yardbirds back then..I doubt it...but ya never know.

  • @EmeraldFlowsion62 Wow. Jimi Hendrix was a already a fan of Jeff Beck by the time he got to England to put together the Jimi Hendrix Experience (Fall, 1966) so the Yardbirds had a fan base in the States already and I just took for granted Count Five were among them.. Thanks for the info.

  • You woulda hadta been there...kudos 60otaku3 !

  • Thank you RicOshayed1-san!!

    Otaku3 d(^_^)b

  • This i really something - it´s raw and honest garage rock music from the 60s and I really like it. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from the 60s that didn´t "broke through". Listen for example to a band from Scandinavia - THE ZETTLERS. Check up their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". Awesome with a bloody driving beat.

  • @TheSunbau There is a channel called ThePsychedelicGarage on youtube. FIND IT! So much stuff on there! Plus he has four other similar channel :D

  • ha ha NICE & THanks ! I almost forgot this one.

  • You're welcome, TravellerFellow-san!!

    Otaku3 (^o^)/ 

  • awesome!

  • @60otaku3 wow that was just so random and immature, just ignore his comment and block him lol

  • Thank you DarkWarriorGaming-san!!

    I blocked his account according to your advice.

    Otaku3 (^_^)/

  • Played this song back in the day. Joey Sacay, Henry Page, Eric Schwartzbaum, Kevin Ford, any of you guys still out there?

  • @NYhomewrecker you can search them on face book, its a good place to find people

  • @DarkWarriorGaming  Thanks man, will do.

  • Love the original but I'd still like to see some hard rockers like acdc do a cover

  • Carburator Dung was their best album. I can still go back to it today and it sounds as good as it did when it came out.

  • This is by far one of the catchiest songs ever written and way ahead of it's time. Love it!!!

  • Great song! Thanks.

  • You're welcome, triplettam-san!!

    Otaku3 (*^_^)v

  • LOVE the lo-fi

  • cool song then, cool song now. don't remember any other hit by them. reminds me of Yardbirds.

  • thanks what a great song,

  • You're welcome, ELCOYOTE40-san!!

    Otaku3 (^o^)/

  • I like this song when im sober or DRUNK!

  • Great song, so happy to see this was a major charting Top 40 hit during its release, you seldom hear this song on the oldies stations (at least in our area over in SE Washington State)

  • @Doobie1975 so called "oldies" are not old at all, music has no time, Im only 16, and I love this song , and I only just recently heard it , so its new to me :D

  • @TheMachinimaTheater

    I am 60, my grandpa was a bluegrass freak, and so am i. Tis music is memories to me, However, after many years studying music, it all just gets better.

  • @radiowwww Yeah, well I never had a chance to hear it when it came out, so Im living those times now, i wasent there but it was much better then it is today

  • @TheMachinimaTheater Good point. I'm 14, i just found this song and i LUV it :D

  • @TheMachinimaTheater I wish ther were more 16 year olds like you, that's awesome that you get to enjoy this stuff too! PEACE!

  • @TheMachinimaTheater Check out the oldschoolhero66 channel. You'll find really rare garage on there...I run it actually. Also check out Garage Punk dot com for podcasts full of rare rock & roll. Have fun.

  • GREAT!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome!!!!!!!

  • This is awesome! Thanks for posting otaku3 sahn. You will be remembered a long time.

  • Thanks for your kind comment to me, TheRealDoctorBonkus-san!!

  • I raped the Down arrow on the keyboard while turning my head left to right in the rhytm. And i liked it.

  • I love to BLAST this song and shake up the meighbors!!! So what if it's 4:30am!!!  I love the song, and if I can't sleep, no one can!!! he he

  • Who can resist chicken-scratching air guitar playing to this?

  • Comment removed

  • check out the Night Beats cover of this, in my mind they claimed authority

  • @jacobhester7 Did as you suggested, the video quality not the best that I saw tho. The band's pretty good but not a touch of the original, they had a good try. Too bad I couldn't find better quality of the song so that it was clearer.

  • my grannie took my 45 and broke it, told me i was going to hell,lololol

  • Oh yes!! The first Acid Rock song so I was told! Love it!!!!! A grandma of two!

  • Kicks butt! One of my top 5 favorite songs of 1966 - it is my favorite some days, other days not, depending on my mood. No pun intended. My 3rd grade teacher wouldn't let me play it, she didn't like the title! I used to bring records to school to play on "activity" day when we had an hour or so to draw or whatever. I think she let me play "Rain on the Roof" and "96 Tears" though.

  • i think it is half garage half psychedelia

  • I heard that this is a song and group that went after The Yardbirds and Jeff Beck that's why it kicks ass. They were both popular at the same time.

  • Oh yeah

  • Does anybody remember a story about this group about one of the original members being badly injured in a car accident and being replaced after this recording was released?

  • great songs now there all garbage

  • erdbeeruquark,

  • Oh yes, magnificent sound. . . .all over greater L.A......delicious to have lived there in the 60's as an older teen. These guys, The Turtles, The Seeds, Palace Guard, on and on, would appear at any local rec center, boat pier, back lot, old martini night club on the Strip, they could plug their amps into. I could still move all night to this!

  • ULTIMATE BEST garage-rock song EV-ERRRRRR - by One-Hit Wonder Count Five (reached #5 on the chart in Oct '66)

  • My friend showed me this band a couple of days ago while I was stoned off my fucking mind. And dammmmn! I fell in love with the band and the basslines! They're kinky! Damn this is a badass band.

  • HAHA LOVE IT! I think I haven't heard this song in about 20 years. Love the beginning, then the harmonica, then the drums...oh yeah! This is song is rockin!

  • I forgot about this album...thanks

  • You're welcome, JimyJak-san!!

    Otaku3 (^o^)/

  • @60otaku3

    no

  • Nothing like blasting this great song while driving through a road with a cliff on one side and water on the other. Great acoustics, lets everyone know your jamming and on your way down the road to get the party started.

  • Is that a dobro in the beginning?

  • @farelane460 Fuzz, lots of fuzz. The longer version of this is good too.

  • @farelane460 Could be, I always that it was a harmonica.

  • @Baumron420 Dobro's can gave a banjo type sound...right after the harmonica? sound you're talking about.

  • vietnammmm

  • yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhh

  • @lilpplsinging- more than 'good' - it's a classic of its type.

  • south 36 ave 1966....

  • You're welcome, bigstuff52-san!!

  • Just revisiting this classic Garage Rock song.

    My Comment is on page 8.

    PS: I wasn't expecting so many personal Comment attacks being associated with this song on youtube.

    It's almost as bad as going to an anti-Obama "Birther" site and someone says that he is an American citizen and the Far Right internet trolls come out in full force. :-)

  • ive watched this like a million times a really far out song

  • @clariccy seriously? only reason for mentioning the game was because this awesome song is in the in game radio, got anger issues?

  • Holy cow, how did I stumble on this song. I remember it from my teenagehood and loved it then and still do. Thumbs up for giving me a great memory of a brilliant time in my life. Kids of today are missing out on so much, being young in the sixties was the best, this song, the Stones, Beatles, Animals....so many great bands with REAL talent.

  • @sapphire60s - Agreed!

  • @sapphire60s " so many great bands with real talent". I had to quote you, because one of the things that makes the 60s a golden age for rock were the all the great and the very good bands right under that top tier the Beatles occupied. The Kinks, Creedence, Janis Joplin, the Byrds and, of course, Dylan(who probably belongs on that top tier) and on and on. The list of bands and singers whose music still gives pleasure is very deep.

  • @sapphire60s your right about pop music in the sixties, it was way way better than it is now. If you know where to look music is just as good nowadays if not better.

  • @sapphire60s and i hate how all the people who listen to mainstream music nowadays think they know everything about music. everytime they act like that i just wanna slap them

  • @foofan312 Hey there. Can't really comment about mainstream music, I try and listen but just cannot take to most of it at all. I love the music that is raw and honest, without the gyrating bodies on video helping sell the songs. Maybe I'm just old, old fashioned and out of touch. To each his own. I'm a rocker of old, still love the beat of heavy metal of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc. and the music of the sixties and seventies, my era. Cheers.

  • @sapphire60s don't forget kinks and dave clark 5

  • @donnydesertman Oh God, don't get me started. I only mentioned the few bands because they were the first to come to mind. I love so many bands, from heavy metal of Black Sabbath etc., to quieter songs and artists. Music has been a massive force and love in my life and I can't imagine living without it.

    I will go to a nursing home and demand they play Metallica. Headaches will be caused, because I play my music LOUD. Cheers.

  • @sapphire60s Yeah yeah you are right!!! I'm 58, my kid is 16, I've steered him toward this stuff...he gets it but friends don't quite understand what it's all about...

  • @sammygrewe Well im 16 and i like this, ;)

  • @MrAnton275 Great! You have an ear for the good stuf!...

  • @sapphire60s GRAND FUNK!

  • One of the Greatest Garage Band Songs of all time ! Kicks Ass even Today ! Thanks for Posting this Classic Bro !

  • You're welcome, dbrew2u-san!!

  • i mean music programs such as ableton and reason that are for computers...its bassically everything an actual studio would have yet its way more flexible and you ur self are the producer....seems a little more complex to me than picking up a guitar and gettin a few lessons

  • @Eoto123 okay, I will give you that, but what happened to real musicians who play real music. I'd rather hear live stuff with all it's nuances , rawness, and sometimes mistakes than some computer-optimized track. I get tired of people leaving shows saying, "they were awesome, they sounded just like they do on the radio" gee, I wonder why?

  • Battlefield Vietnam :D:D

  • "And it feels like this!!!!...." (guitar boogie...go nuts)

  • @Clariccy Noo! I don't mean that this song brings memories or w/e about the game, but I first heard this song in a game, and then I started to like and discover the 60's rock!

  • @FrankLincolnWright Omg, not more retards from VIDEO GAMES ?

    Go junk up your gens music vids with video game TRASH... but not on the good stuff THANKS

    disgusting !!!

  • @Clariccy music bring memories and my memories are about a videogame with a nice soundtrack, what is wrong with that mister?

  • what a sound, better than the vanilla sounds of today.

  • FOR THE PEOPLE WHO THINK NO REAL MUSIC IS MADE TODAY....you all just dont kno what your talking about and what ur missing out on. The bands today focus on live preformances rather than the studio....not to mention alot focus on both....but that is why they spend their time touring and playing at music festivals...that is where the all time best music of present day will be...they dont play the right music on the radio for people to be exposed to....not like it was back in the day....ya kno?

  • @Eoto123

    Agreed. Some of the best acts I have ever seen where small-time bands that will never get airplay beyond college radio, which is sad because they are actually able to perform WELL live, not like a lot of bands with big label backing that sound great when they have all their levels tweaked in the studio, but sound like hell live.

  • @Eoto123 did you know that a LOT of the biggest bands today play those live shows with an ipod or other device behind the stage supplying a large part of their sound as they play "live"?

  • @Capt66FD if ur gonna say they use an ipod ..you obivously dont kno what ur talking about..nuf said...i would think it goes beyond what you kno...since you seem like an old timer

  • @Eoto123 oh I know what I'm talking about..... I don't "kno" though

  • @Capt66FD if you knew what you were talking about you would hav said somthin knowledgeable about the type of equipment artists use today...instead u say they use an "ipod".

  • @Eoto123 Yes, IPODS, also laptops, are just a couple of the things used today. I didn't post this comment because I don't like the new stuff. I have much better stuff to do with my time than trade speculative insults with faceless people on youtube, or to make you look ignorant. You can do that yourself. I'm not an "old timer" but what if I was? But when I'm at the Mayhem Festival or Warped Tour, I'd like to see my favorite acts actually play live. Wouldn't you? We deserve that-we payed enough.

  • @Capt66FD you just dont know what ur talking about....and ya exacly lets stop wasting both our times

  • @Capt66FD one last thing....if you knew how complex it can be to create an entire track from a laptop...and make it sound good enough that it will have theaters jam packed with people....and not to mention to create all that electronically based music and fuse it with live drum sets and base and guitar....little more complex than you would think

  • #208 top songs of the 60s psychotic reaction by count five

  • any other similar bands or songs anyone can recommend apart from the obvious big names, as this is an absolute gem!

  • i loves this stuff especially from BF. Vietnam but still great stuff!

  • Man where did you find this?Haven, heard it in years.Good Stuff>

  • Kick ass!

  • i hope my neighboures like this song

  • I fucking love this song, hands down, best intro in the WORLD!!!!

  • Here's an idea.. everyone who complains that they don't make real music anymore (which I agree with to a large degree) how about covering some of these old classic radical songs in your gigs if your in a band. And if your not in a band you can still blast them on your youtube playlists.. There is only one way to change the industry and that is by exposing folks ears to what they have missed.

  • misunderstood lyrics: ....and it feels like this.

    What i heard: ....and eighty five cents.

  • Back in the day when our parents were still kids, the music was alive back then. The music was REAL music. Now, we got Justin Beiber, the gay motherfucker fucking up the music industry. 

  • @BLUTONIUMBERRY1

    Yeah, but your grandparents thought your parents' music was garbage, just like you think Bieber is garbage.

    It's always interesting the way segments of a generation are totally immersed in their own culture, while others of us look back to the values of the previous generations with a weird kind of nostalgia - for something we weren't even there to experience.

  • @BLUTONIUMBERRY1 Please shut the fuck up about such people on good videos. How old are you ? 12 ?

    cut it out

  • @Clariccy I don't give a fuck about your punk ass. It's just that the good music had died. There's no meaning to the music we listen to now (some of them).  I considered the music back when our parents REAL MUSIC. So if I were you, I'd shut the fuck up. And Fyi, I'm 21

  • the devil will find work for idle hands to do...WHUP wrong song. exact same riff...

    (what difference does it make, the smiths, the smiths)

  • W00t the birth of punk

  • @MrBCMarijuana birth of punk ? right....

  • @ridixx1991 he probably thought that because at one point it has fast paced drum beat that does sound like it could be in a punk song....howvever the drum beat variates in this song

  • actually after listnening again the drum beat at 1:05 could easily hav sum punk rock guitar and singin over it...compare that beat to anyothewr punk drumming

  • believe it or not, this was on played on the MOD circuit in London in the mid-late 80's, a classic - brings it all back

  • Now this is real music... What do we have today? Lady Gaga &Christina Aguilera! Yuck... They are the absence of music... If that is the essence of popular music today, it is indeed truly dead!

  • @GreatSongwriters Wow, as if I haven't seen THAT complaint before as a youtube comment.

    If you want some real music, go out and make it yourself. You can't just sit back on your lazy ass and expect today's music to be automatically generated into something as great as this.

  • You can tell these guys listened to The Yardbirds.
