I like the Shaggs and the Murmaids, however the Murmaids were infinitely more polished. This track was co-written and produced by Mr. Kim Fowley, who discovered Joan Jett and managed The Runaways.
@onlinemonikers I do not like to comment on other artist, but I have heard The Shaggs and they do not know how to sing or carry a tune, but neither do I.This is only my opinon.The performance of a group and how it is recieived is all up to the listner.The Murmaids were an excellent girl group, and even though they had only one big hit "Popsicles And Icicles" , it will long be remembered.Thank you
@mysterxyz Yes it does have that.I like it because it has that natural and unrehearsed (possibly improvised) feel to it.I'm glad that you enjoyed it.Thank you for dropping in... :)
@jejune14 Well it sounds to me like an improvised session,but I like it because it lets you in on what it is like to be at the studio while they practice a song before it gets that polished finished sound.Drop by anytime.
Nice vocal harmonies, done basically acapella with minimal instrumentals.. strong vocal arrangements during this era were done quite a bit with groups that could actually sing..like The Murmaids!

Some terrifically bitter lines in the lyrics.

Wow! This is such a simple song with only drum instrumentation but the girls carry it off. The reference to the Shaggs is ridiculous. Very nice.

There is absolutely nothing improvised, a cappella, or reminiscent of the Shaggs about this recording. What misinformed statements.

"Popsicles and Icicles" was and still is a favorite.
The b-side of "Comedy and Tragedy" was a bonus when I bought the 45.
It may have a simple sound but there is something about it that is very catchy.
