Some folks like water Some folks like wine But I like the taste Of straight strychnine (hey, hey) You may think it's funny That I like this stuff But once you've tried it You can't get enough (Wow!) Wine is red Poison is blue Strychnine is good For what's ailin' you (guitar solo) (repeat bridge and fill) If you listen to what I say You'll try strychnine some day Make you jump, it'll make you shout It'll even knock you out
i remember when Psycho came out and it blew me away...I love the overdriven vocals, sometime distorting, and rockin ass guitar...Im sure the original lead singer is long gone by now...I never Strynine, but it is kick ass also.
De Azteken brouwden uit cactussen een drank die strychnine bevatte. Deze drank zorgde voor een opwekkend effect.
Aan het begin van de 20e eeuw werd strychnine ook als doping gebruikt, onder meer door de Engelse loper Thomas J. Hicks tijdens de Olympische Marathon in 1904. Hij gebruikte het in combinatie met brandy. Na de finish viel hij buiten bewustzijn
@wirral45 The song is believed to be a reference to the myth that LSD contains strychnine. Strychnine is one of the world's most poisonous substances.
@Hister333 So true!! They are the first punk band ever. Even though they say they are a Tacoma, WA band two of the founding members Larry and Andy Parypa were from Bremerton. Thats right, i am saying is PUNK ROCK started here in this small crappy navy town. And more than a decade before the underground culture centers of London & New York. i'm a B-town punk. Its been my life since the 80's. Our bands are always overlooked. Learn more on FB @ Kitsap County Punk: The Documentary.
Yeah, you guys did an awesome job. I think your footage is just perfect for so many garage songs from the sixties. You guys deserve all the credit for this video.
Fabuloustastic!

When I first heard The Fall's version of this years ago, I told my friend knowingly that it was actually a cover of a Cramps song.
Idiot.

Just look at what's in our food these days. This song has a note of truth to it, people. This tune flat-out grooves, anyway.

The song itself is awesome, but this original(?) version always gives me goose bumps. There's just something about it that makes it perfect.

This is the most forgotten Punk band EVER. They make the Kingmen's "Louie Louie" sound like Dominique.
