Remember getting tickets for Sam Riddle's "9th Street West" in November 1964 (just started my senior year of H.S.) ~ Riddle's show was one of the mid 60's dancing shows in L.A. I asked the girl of my H.S. dreams, Joan Eide, to go with me. It was the best, honestly; the music, the friends, the times, the politics, the parties ~ I wish you could all been along for the ride!

Dude! I graduated from Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe Springs, California on 16 June 1965 and I can remember crusing Bob's Big Boy, on Whittier Blvd., in Whittier, California in my 1957 Chevy and my punkass AM radio was playing so loud I thought the windshield would crack! But it was such a fun time to be young and alive. The music, the friends, the times ~ it was all such an experience.

This song rocks!

[chuy122353]

some one else may have written and sang this song but the head hunters did it the best shinga tu madre mayate

This was the first of two versions of the song that were hits.

Not long afterwards, Wilson Pickett did an even more frantic version of this song.

Both are great!

BTW, in the late 1980's, a number of World Wrestling Entertainment rasslers did a remake. Almost every WWE star of the period was in it. The off-key signing of most of the rasslers made it cheesy but entertaining.

I went to a concert at the theater in the round which was located across the street from the Disneyland main entrance gate in Anaheim,Ca. I saw Cannibal and the Headhunters, Eric Burdon and the Animals and maybe Leslie Gore. It was my first concert and that was around 1963.
