This is probably the most well known of Shorty Long's most original tracks, which arrived in May 1968 on the Soul label of Motown. As I said before he died in a boating accident in June 1969. A short lived career. JOHN

  • long lost, I bought this single after watching the Here Come the Judge bits on Laugh In. I believe I purchased this Shorty Long 45 down at Singer's. Yes, the same Singer's that sold sewing machines. They had a top 40 section at the rear of the store. Cool, huh! Sewing machines AND phonograph records!! You don't find much of that anymore.

  • That's unusual, we didn't ever have Singer shops here in Brighton, UK, but in the 60's I used to get my Motown 45 rpm singles in a large store called Bellmonds, they were called "Tamla Motown" label then as we didn't have all the separate labels of Motown as in the US, great times eh?

  • This came out at the same time as Pigmeat Markham. Caused some confusion in the store! Both are very good.

  • I used to jam to this song so much as a kid! My grandma had it on vinyl and would play it on her phonograph all the time, im pretty sure this was one of the first songs i knew all the words too. 18 years later i still know all the words haha.

  • Remember this and Pigmeat Markham's 'I Am The Judge' out that same summer. Too much of a coincidence, but both got heavy rotation on Radio Luxembourg.

  • OMFG XD Theme song for my school play last year XD Good memories of dancing back stage to this amazingness JUDGE M.HATTER RESIDES!

  • i first heard this song in gary indiana at cartmans music shop on 5th ave. 1968

  • @larrrypa first version,by the valadiers,most popular version by the monitors w/richard street on lead

  • I remember this song well when it came out! I was in the 9th grade at the time.

  • Listen to this while driving a 1969 GTO Judge.

  • @KCKILLERCAT A REAL soul-full life experience which fits GREAT with the soul-full Shorty

  • Oh haha they play this song for the little kids in kindergarten they love dancing to it, During carpet time. :D
