I love coupling the groovy garage song with what I imagine is stock footage, one of those moments of incidental genius that I look for in b-movies. Even how as the floodlights come on as the song begins is really cool. FMTSM is one of the finest.
Only the last couple of singles. Lovely tale of the singer and his Dad being visited by Oldham when George G was sleeping off the previous night's excess. Apparently George was the only artist to tell Oldham to Fuck Off before being signed up!
sorry minijimi ---the hit was 'now we're thru' ---g gallacher ex lead singer --- (i have the only live film of the poets at airdrie town hall 1965 and will post it soon).
great stuff! I just came back from watching the movie and was extremely surprised when this scene came up since I well knew the tune. a part of the song can also be heard at the pool party, before the aliens wreck the place! I loved the film!!
You can find this and other Poets songs in the compilations The Great British Psychedelic Trip Volumes 1 & 2 (See For Miles), in the Rubble series (Past & Present) and also in the Nuggets II vol. 2 cd(Rhino).

The Poets were from Scotland and deserved to be so much more successful than they were. This song is BRILLIANT!
