Weirdest thing I've seen in a long time. How in the heck did the band get on this show and why? Some of those kids looked REALLY young, like 6 or 7. I remember going to pre-teen dances, but I was 10 or 11 and actually listening to music on the radio. Some of these kids look like they're in nursery school! Are you sure this wasn't a Twilight Zone episode?
How stupendously weird -- I love it! I wonder if this served as inspiration for The Effigies appearing on Chic-a-go-go and doing Scarecrow? That was such a blast to watch.
The only thing they ripped off was the stupid Paul Revere gimmick costumes. I'm a Raiders fan, but this tune is pretty psychedelic, & their sound is completely different. Long live the Bubblegum Brigade!
I've talked to a band member about the costumes and he claimed they didn't. I don't see how he has any reason to make it up so I believe him. I don't think the costumes were stupid either, love them.
Well, I shouldn't have said the costumes were stupid, they don't bother me; I don't think they were necessary. But hey, they were doing their thing, & they can dress however they want, because they are the bomb. I don't have this album, but I'm going to get it, & hope more of the tracks are along the same vibe. I'm hooked on this song, & I can't wait to hear a quality recording Cool that you can talk to a band member!
it was the 60s, lots of bands had costumes/matching outfits just to stand out. Yeah get Breakthrough or at the river's edge compilation, every track is good. Their last 2 albums aren't so good but then again it wasn't the same group really and they were being controlled by the record company.
