M A X F R O S T A N D THE TROOPERS - Shape Of Things To Come

[MamaJacqueroo]

OMG! Its been since probably 1970 since I've heard this. It was so over the top at the time. Like grunge was in 1986. So tame by today's standards. We were such bad asses for liking this music, LOL!

[leconser]

Eso es! Aunque era un niño a finales de los sesentas, recuerdo que esta rola me cautivó cuando la ponian en ensalada de locos. Me llevó casi cuarenta años saber el nombre y apenas hace un mes encontré el dato. Que padre canción. La música de los sesentas era por un lado el rocanrol y por otro el rock ácido. Me gusta toda la musica de esta decada.

[pinkydogbear]

HOT SONG. He's so cute!!

[2047alvi]

ensalada de locos!

[thomasmantellwilliam]

Fourteen or Fight!

[ricendric]

this song and movie turned me

[karloskandalo]

awebo!!!!! la ponian kuando salia el vulgarsito!!! no mames esta bien chida!!!!

[Chacmool]

Es muy extraño, y corrijanme si me equivoco, pero esta SUPER ROLA de Max Frost, no recuerdo que se haya conocido en México durante los 60´s. Todos la identificamos por ser la canción con la que se terminaban los sketches de "Ensalada de Locos", y nunca la ponian completa, pero este programa empezó en los 70´s.

[jestor58]

exactamante amigo Chacmool, esa cancion era del programa del Loco Valdez, Hector Lechuga y Alejandro Suarez....en los 70´s

[newhotman1001]

I saw the movie this song was from at the drive-in in the summer of 1968. This was a great song from a now cult classic. The plot was a little far fetched but still entertaining. It hit number one on the radio in Lansing, MI.

[zonegunman]

A great song-I have it on the original single from 1968. Chris Jones is not the singer and "Max Frost" is his character in the film "Wild in the streets". Written by Brill building stalwarts Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Barry had his finger on the pop cult. pulse in the 60s.

[DrHogfan]

I heard he borrowed that mic from Gene Rayburn of "Matchgame"??

[chuy40]

la rola de ensalada de locos que suave

[guadelupe]

I was going into high school when this came out. Terrific fore- sight of the lyricists! Life was good then, albeit becoming a bit shakier as the decade closed....

[yahowa57]

Tom Rush said if you can remember the 60's you weren't really there.I WAS there and it's all a blur. But I TOTALLY agree about the movies-like this one-so friggin creative and GREAT time capsules. But its THE MUSIC,songs like this one and all garage music, are TOTAL treasures.

[recsec]

Troopers, we need Max now more than ever!!! Frost For President in '08 babies!!!! He'll take care of the alcoholic generation & then the world will be set right!!

[brabon]

no shit, i would love to lock up clinton, obama and mccain and gas them with acid...make the world a much better place

[zippy830]

The troopers really kept that song groovin!

[blacklaborador]

I was born in this era & I vaguely remember this song, but this reminds me of the song "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones. I love Psychadelic Music.

[yahowa57]

Chris Jones was my neighbor in encino when I lived there in the Eighties.He used to say that if there was ever a film festival of his movies they could just call it(and He would hold his nose when he said it) P.U!

[brabon]

bummer...the exploitation movies of the era were great

[Kenoman29]

Ya kow....if you were around when this came out.....and really listen to the lyrics NOW......man........is it that far out?  If you are too young to remember this song....damn....so sorry.

[monkeeman1966]

A perfect record(as so many from the '60's). 1:57 and it cooks all the way through unlike the crap after that to 2008 that bore you to death. Nowadays 4 & 5 mins. yeeech! And they suck! Many short songs hit you, then gone, makes you play them over and over. That's the mark of a great record. Long live '60's Garage! Most songs post-1970 bore and are over produced crap.

[LoveSculpture]

who was the president of the US?

[placido80]

PURO ENSALADA DE LOCOS

[Planktontwo]

It was pretty tipical for a song to be about 2 to 3 minutes "max" during the 60's. 1:57 is a little short though. Still this is a classic tune! Thanks for sharing it.

[oybay]

When was the last time you had a hit song that was 1:59?

[666UFO666]

Great Tune!!

[PistolPete2]

There was also a song from this era entitled "Fourteen Or Fight"

[NASGAorg]

Great Song for the RON PAUL for PRESIDENT campaign!!!

[retyn]

I would suggest "I'm A Loser" by The Beatles.

[popGoesAnthony]

beatlebum1965NYC'USA!

on long island in nassua county N.Y

[reckonman]

this songs kicks ass

[maryquant1967]

1968-69...Christopher Jones, Leonard Whiting, Ryan O'Neal....these were the years to be female.

[msdlsd7]

Thanks for the song. The picture was released by American International in 1968 if my memory serves. The theme was let kids from 14 up run the country and sack all the old farts out on LSD. I think it has great potential today.

[KennyWrites]

Excellent song from a cool 60s movie.

[RodneyFoley]

that is christopher jones the actor lypsyncing

[alandhopewell]

I remember watching this at the Ohio Theater, two years before Kent State...I was twelve, and the world seemed to be up for grabs. I was crying through the song, tears of rage.

[huskyjerk]

Singing into a socket wrench is the latest rage here.

[rockchick1000]

good version , now find the one made by Slade on there Ist LP,

[bobair]

Fast paced and it has something to say,the mind boggles.Oh,you don't have to strain yourself to hear what is being said-pity-not!Qreat old ditty,I like it.

[Oopies]

I came of age in the sixties and I remember being so blown away by this movie and especially the song. It really spoke to the rebel I longed to be. Times have changed and I've grown older but the words still have the power to move me . . . particularly that line "There's revolution, sweeping like a fresh new breeze . . . " Thanks for the memory.

[hanniballecturer]

this song grooves

[mshanzon]

This is a very interesting movie..I love the soundtrack, had such a crush on this guy..

[alfonsomarquez]

Excellent, this song was used in a TV-SHOW very popular in earlys 70 in Mexico... I was looking for the name for a long time. Regards!

[Lv2bRomanced]

My father was a DJ and I remember that we had this 45 when I was VERY young....WOW I had not heard it in years.....thanks for the memory overload !!
