@MsPerogi - Whoa there! This song rocks out. I grew up loving the Stones, Kinks, Beatles, etc., but this song has STUCK in my memory ALL THESE YEARS. I mean....40 years plus. He musta had SOMETHING going on...it's a great track...melody, beat, lyrics, a great hook, has it all....

Sorry buddy, dont agree with you. Music in the 60s was a lot better then todays music, then you could understand the song, no sex or nudity like today, just clean cut fun, and songs that had a meaning. todays songs u cant understand, bring back the 60s

I just found out this was the number 1 song on the day I was born. It's about coffee. How appropriate!

my aunt uncle were newlyweds at this time. The little address sign outside their little house mailbox read ...Ron & Carol's Sugar Shack

There uses to be a nice little club called The Sugar Shack in Columbus, Ohio. And Bob Seger and his band would play there for weeks at a time. In between sets when Bob and the band were taking a break. Only song you would hear from the juke box was this one. Awesome.

@egyptianwarlock1840 Back in the day this song c/ its "beatnik" referrals was considered lowbrow, declasse, & a bit degenerative of the mind. Music for the white audiences had to be homogenised & pasteurised. Todays Soliquey of Sound groups- yo! Who can understand a Shakespehere sonnet. You don't have to understand it to dig it.

This song is so catchy. I think their outfits were funny for the era; the lead singer appears to have on leather or faux-leather pants, and the guitarist on the far right is wearing a sombrero? Hahaha.
