Thanks for the show. Brought back Treasured memories of my First Love. Now my boat justs sits in the bactyard on a trailer .... and I lost her 30 years-ago.
Flash back of my teenage. Great - I really like this track. I love music from the 60s and specially all of those great bands that didn´t "reach the highest level. Listen (youtube) for example to:
THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah".
Really bloody driving beat.
THE GOLLIWOGS and the tune "Tell me". Check up the singer - yes, it´s him!!
THE GANTS AND "Greener Days".
A kind of great Mersey sound from the Deep South - USA.
Some interesting sexual subtext in this song: it's about a woman who is literally in bondage ("but she's tied to the dock and she can't get free") and he wants to "Make you happy in my little red boat" (harkens to the term "the little man in the boat"). Altogether a really sneaky bit of pop music writing -- fun, too!
great teenage memories! Anyone with a transistor radio heard this one at least 3 times a day on the AM Pop stations back then! Thanks for posting this one skinnymulligan07....
Back when this was a hit in '67 there was a beach house at Lake Wauconda Illinois that had a juke box blasting the sound out for everyone on the beach..this song took almost every dime the box held and played almost non stop...what a great memory..comes back everytime I hear it.
leeharvey....-maybe that's because today's pop muisic is pure goat tripe, whereas the stuff from the 60's was balls to the wall great. Ever think of that, hmmmmm?
@leeharveyosmosis That's because it was written and performed by adults (young adults but adults). Today's music biz figures that kids are easy to fool (which they are), so the music aimed at them (pop, bubblegum) is all contrived and not the least bit genuine.
I remember all the lyrics, my girlfriend and I would cruise the lake in the summer, waterski and have the fun that 15 yr. old girls have in the summer of 69!!!!
I remember reading something about these guys.... they were rich kids. Their dads werer dentists which accounted for their perfect teeth; an oddity in the 60's when the focus of dentistry was preventive only.
oh yeah. heard this at the beach when going to the beach during the summer was a big event up in Rhode Island. Over hearing some teenagers radios playing this, then songs from Free. I only had a crystal AM radio in my room that I built at home!
@gk10002000 ...haha...I too only had a homemade crystal radio set at that time...remember the first album i ever bought at that time..The Byrds..8 Miles High....took me awhile to figure out you could buy songs you heard on the radio at a record store...what a revelation that was.....cheers...D
@myhattrick Read closer-- I SAID it was a mondegreen and that those weren't the words. A mondegreen, for those who don't know, is a misapprehension of a lyric that turns it into something the writer never intended, usually because the singer doesn't know the words and is only going by sound, e.g. "I'll be home, I'll be a xylophone waiting for you." (And now that you've heard the "cut his throat" version, it will stay with you, unfortunately. Sorry, friend.)
"...Father never lets her out of his sight/ soon I'm gonna have to get my knife and cut his throat..." Well, what does a guy who ties his daughter up deserve, anyway? (OK I know those aren't the REAL words, but it's a fun mondegreen, isn't it? Tell me you never thought of it while listening to this otherwise innocent little ditty!)
@therealjoebloggs Yet further desicration of a great song: "She shits on the dock then she kicks it in water, uh huh!" ... "Why am I itchin in my little red scrote...don't be crappin in my little red boat!" (I listened to this song when was a hit on AM Top 40 radio. Always loved it, still do, but it's wide open for parody lyrics...glad to see someone else has some 'Yankovic' in them also.
MrHansAryan, you are a pathetic moron and you get an "F" in history if you honestly believe you can causally link Obama's presidency to the rise of hip-hop. Sure, lots of people love 60s music, and I am one of them, but it's highly ironic that you praise it and fail to recognize the culturally subversive elements that ANY historian of music and culture would make note of!
... hot pants.spaghetti string halter tops. and roman sandals ... i used to cruise up to the main street on my tricycle to watch the ladies walk by on a summer morning ... the awesome '60's !
THE 60's - ..what a TIME!!! GREAT music, hot , fast cars, and hot fast chicks! mini skirts....oh, take me back....it was great....WAIT!!! We needed to "CHANGE" and "HOPE" for a better future!! Damn, was Oblama there? No, I guess it must be Bush's fault we gravitated to shitty hip hip.....well it's a more "fair" music...you can't tell the shit from the shinola there. and no-talents can get a job. can you tell - I MISS the 60's!
Love this song. An old favorite. The 60s was such a magnificent decade for music. You couldn't get away with a song with all those kinds of ambiguous start & stop changes today. Everything has to have some kind of whack ass dance/trance/disco/rave groove.
Good God!! WHY are they clapping? This was probably on The Sullivan Show, which was all we had then for popular music. No doubt pantomiming as the technology required. This song was popular in Fall 1967, which was a hard place to compete: The Doors, Sgt Peppers, and many others come to mind. Yet, this band made its mark.
I wish they just had a music channel that played alot of the older music. I notice that there is a VH1 symbol down in the lower left. Funny, now they don't play any music anymore except reality crap! I think people would tune into shows with just music or older music videos, variety shows with music groups, etc. Musical groups that played the music from the 50's 60's, 70's, 80's! There was alot of great music during those decades! :-)
Just saw them perform this song in a 2-part episode of "The Man From UNCLE" (The Five Daughters Affair). The scene was set in a London go-go club. This song really typifies that 1967 feel.
It played several times daily in the summer of 1967. There was nothing better than being an adolescent listening to pop music and rock in the Sixties!
i know that it was mandintory for every '60s band to incorporate at least one geeky looking guy into the band, but damn, the eye ware fashion sure was slow in catching up!

It is so refreshing to hear tunes like this again, thank God someone had a camera to bring the performance back to life for those of us who never saw them....
@mr1168726 I disagree. You just don't like bubblegum music--I suppose it's not "sophisticated" enough? A lot of the composition, chord progressions, harmony was genius. But I guess if it's too easy to listen to, it can't be good, right? Classical music snobs are the same way. Romantic composers like Tchaikovsky and Schumann are quickly dismissed as simplistic, too easy on the ears. Bubblegum, sunshine, folk--all the stuff that boomer snobs hate--were some of the greatest pop ever.
@mr1168726 I can comment because I've heard the music on oldies and classic rock stations. You didn't have to live during that period to be able to analyze the music. Agreed, some of pop/bubblegum was simplistic. But OTOH there was a fair amount of Led Zeppelin that sounded like garbage to me. There are no absolutes--this is excellent, that is junk--it's a matter of perspective and taste. You're certainly welcome to your opinion; I'm just getting tired of hearing pop bashed.
Great to see this footage after so many years. I only thought there would be the Man from uncle footage out there . Great song that has a real feel good factor to it
What a dam GREAT song. I wish I was around when this stuff was popular. Seems like it was an amazing time for music. Late 60's and early 70's man. CLASSIC Rock N' Roll! I love this stuff! Garage Rock baby! Can't beat it
grew up in san francisco's sunset district. was in the boy scouts and went to the world jamboree in idaho 1967. we had stopped near a lake with a store there. played this song on the juke box. wow! what a different world back then. today there is nothing. its dead.
@jimmyd10100 I was at the same jamboree and had similar experiences of playing the juke boxes with songs like this in '67 on that trip. The XII world jamboree was the last remnant of the 'old time' jamborees. When I went to Japan in 1971 for the XIII world jamboree it was a much different world.
This was when they still lipped the songs and the sound was turned off on their equipment. Notice how staged all the bands were back then compared to today's artists. There was an innocence then that was lost after Woodstock.
this song is way too good to be called bubblegum. man, it's early punk! check out buddy holly in the cowby hat. this was a one hit wonder song, i have no business still rememberingit after forty years, but i do, and that's how i know it's a great song. a minor classic.

@akcoins Yeah, I said that to my girlfriend today. We were singing it at a coffee shop, people were giving us curious looks. I sang it at karaoke last year, it brought down the house! It's kind of a psychedelic song, actually.
I had the unexpected chance to meet Lary Larden and his wife the other day... really nice people. They came in the antique store where I sell records, and Lary was gracious enough to autograph the two copies I had in my bin of the first EMS album. Totally made my day!
This song and Tommy Roe's Oh Sweet Pea helped me get through one rainy 60's saturday of washing dishes for our family of 8. I can still remember Mom's radio sitting up on the windowsill, tuned into kmrc Morgan City, LA 1430 on your dial, staring out the window at the yard, woods and rain and these two songs played in succession. Took the sting out of the "ordeal" and made a memory that has lasted over forty years. This song is great and yes, it still makes me happy.

@mr1168726 I can comment because I've heard the music on oldies and classic rock stations. You didn't have to live during that period to be able to analyze the music. Agreed, some of pop/bubblegum was simplistic. But OTOH there was a fair amount of Led Zeppelin that sounded like garbage to me. There are no absolutes--this is excellent, that is junk--it's a matter of perspective and taste. You're certainly welcome to your opinion; I'm just getting tired of hearing pop bashed.

The Guitar rift at 0:29 is pure genius. Life was so much simplier in the 60's and the pop music was so much better than the music of today.

What a dam GREAT song. I wish I was around when this stuff was popular. Seems like it was an amazing time for music. Late 60's and early 70's man. CLASSIC Rock N' Roll! I love this stuff! Garage Rock baby! Can't beat it

grew up in san francisco's sunset district. was in the boy scouts and went to the world jamboree in idaho 1967. we had stopped near a lake with a store there. played this song on the juke box. wow! what a different world back then. today there is nothing. its dead.

@jimmyd10100 I was at the same jamboree and had similar experiences of playing the juke boxes with songs like this in '67 on that trip. The XII world jamboree was the last remnant of the 'old time' jamborees. When I went to Japan in 1971 for the XIII world jamboree it was a much different world.

This was when they still lipped the songs and the sound was turned off on their equipment. Notice how staged all the bands were back then compared to today's artists. There was an innocence then that was lost after Woodstock.

Perhaps 'borderline' but I agree in that this one is NOT bubblegum; just a nice, simple song with a great rythym and vocals. Thanks SM07.

this song is way too good to be called bubblegum. man, it's early punk! check out buddy holly in the cowby hat. this was a one hit wonder song, i have no business still rememberingit after forty years, but i do, and that's how i know it's a great song. a minor classic.

@akcoins Yeah, I said that to my girlfriend today. We were singing it at a coffee shop, people were giving us curious looks. I sang it at karaoke last year, it brought down the house! It's kind of a psychedelic song, actually.

I had the unexpected chance to meet Lary Larden and his wife the other day... really nice people. They came in the antique store where I sell records, and Lary was gracious enough to autograph the two copies I had in my bin of the first EMS album. Totally made my day!

This song and Tommy Roe's Oh Sweet Pea helped me get through one rainy 60's saturday of washing dishes for our family of 8. I can still remember Mom's radio sitting up on the windowsill, tuned into kmrc Morgan City, LA 1430 on your dial, staring out the window at the yard, woods and rain and these two songs played in succession. Took the sting out of the "ordeal" and made a memory that has lasted over forty years. This song is great and yes, it still makes me happy.
