I wasn't alive when the Merry-Go-Round were around, but I just bought their CD compilation "Listen Listen: The Definitive Collection" this week and I'm thrilled with it. I fell in love with their sound after hearing them on Nuggets, and the CD doesn't disappoint. I really wasn't expecting to find much of them on YouTube, so THANK YOU for this!
@Picardy I feel sorry for anyone who imagines he's demonstrating his hipness by virtue of the music he disdains. FWIW, I was there, too; I was 15 when "Listen! Listen!" came out and I loved it then. I turned 59 years old today (coincidentally, it's also Emitt Rhodes' birthday) and I love it just as much now. You could hardly be more mistaken if you believe that only 9-year-olds liked this song. Of course, you apparently believe that your individual tastes were universal, so consider the source.
very groovy!

The meaning is lost when the girls in the audience start screaming.

Beatles Sgt Pepper rip-off for the 9-year-old contingent that weren't old enough to like the Beatles. (I know; I was there)
