[ChristyMcGiverN]

Amazing , i love CCR

[17negro]

Excelente canción. 

[Glaeken1961]

HOT HIT written all over it...the many facets of a brilliant band already on display..

[blueagate]

Yea well its not the typical thing we expect from CCR but hey I like it!

[DominoRyder]

Sickest song CCR ever did, shocked it was never a hit

[TeamMastaPr2]

2 people are not pretending.

[Billinois78]

@TeamMastaPr2 Please stop pointing out the dislike ratings. Way too many people do that and it gets really annoying.

[BluesZeppRO]

GOOD

[jokerit911]

Masterpiece..Long live Creedence and John

[LaaaMaZ]

cant u send this song 2 me? plz :)

[gilles19522]

the best band john is the best

[weirdbeard63]

Good thing John Fogerty developed the whole swamp music angle. They were going nowhere with this Motown type stuff.

[Rightsideup]

Damn, I cannot get enough of this song. John's voice is just awesome on this. Definitely not Tom on vocals here.

[MrJorgeivan96]

is precreedence Tom Fogerty the Golliwogs. Nice song

[charleycms1]

great song, not the same exact sound as ccr glory, but very great anyway, it could have been one of their classics had it been released afetr they got a little fame very good song , but haven't heard a song by ccr and john fogerty after ccr that i didn't like

[steveo5670]

cool tune never heard it before i love ccr

[Rightsideup]

Man if this song isn't influenced by the Four Tops (It's the Same Old Song) then it would be a CRAZY coincidence! I love it!

[MIKECNW]

Haven't noticed that but it certainly has the sound that we would hear on their later stuff.

[DominoRyder]

This could've been an insane single. I'm 26 and this is in my top 5 singles of the 60s.

[cowpigs99]

i have this on a record as the golliwogs

[chezsunset]

Thanks Pauley!! Never heard this before and really like it. I guess I need to get that boxed set.

I often wonder about the stuff they did that John didn't think was good enough at the time [and threw away]. I'm sure it was better than most bands' released stuff.

[Pauleyh2]

oh yeah absolutely. specially with the motown stax influence in the music

[MattHatter]

I love this song on the CCR box set!  Man this is back when white boys tried to sound black and it was GOOD!

[Pauleyh2]

well john once said he was influenced by motown and stax. so what can hear ;)

[zuendapp94]

where did you get this first-class song ?

[Pauleyh2]

its on the box set from 2001

[wildhorsestudios1421]

One of my favorite guitarist singers. He's even better today guitar wise and vocally.

[IDLERACER]

This is essentially a reworking of the Four Tops' "It's The Same Old Song," but it's still a good tune in it's own right. I especially like the key change for the second bridge at 1:23.

[El135o]

There's a Spencer Davis Group song that this sounds like, too.

Actually, the Golliwogs had changed to Creedence Clearwater Revival by the time this song was released. The A-side was "Porterville", their first single.

[MIKECNW]

IOriginally I thought this was still when they were called their old name.

No wonder why this sounds so CCR ish.

[El135o]

Yeah, apparently the name change came about in the last few months of 1967 and this single was out just in time to have the Creedence moniker on the 45.

God, they put out so many songs before they were famous.

[ccreaglesfan]
