Forgotten?

I've had this on my iPod for... forever!

Great song, tho'!

[forgottenoldies]

@raydarfiero forgotten meaning the local radio stations - even "oldies" stations - don't play it !

[32Iroomi321]

Wow... the feedback intro sounds like the intro to Canned Heat "On the Road", the next few second sounds a bit reminiscent of "Funk 49" by the James Gang, & then the syncopated drum/guitar bit after really sounds like the intro to "In From the Storm" by Hendrix! The Canned Heat song came out first, but "Funk 49" & "In From the Storm" came out well after this. I bet Hendrix actually borrowed that intro, conciously or unconciously...

@32Iroomi321 How about the Beatles' I feel fine?

[hendrixzilla]

Weirdest song title ever has to be "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman." I bet no one remembers that one!

[forgottenoldies]

I do. It was all whistling :)

Played this song on our helicopter FM radio in Vietnam in 1969; scared hell out of the Vietnamese we flew over...lol

[kevhead66]

for 1968 this song has not dated a bit. so killer.

@hendrixzilla I have the 45. It's not a bad little song.

[paulpellicci]

...great song, I forgot what the name of the group and song was until I played it....

[pderus]

What a great song. Thanks for posting. Agree with kevhead, it's not dated and could be a hit today, if today's music could be referred to as "music".

love this song used to hear it on am radio when i was young no one knew or had heard or this band do ya'll know where these guys were from?

[jferg7159]

Cool stereo version. Bubble Puppy's name was actually a mistake - the were going for the name of a fictional childs game used in the book "A Brave New World" - The Centrifugal Bumble Puppy. The title of this song is a misheard expression used on the Beverly Hillbillies. Mistakes or not, a great slice of rock and roll.

@32Iroomi321

Yeah and sounds like Lenny Kravitz borrowed the intro too....

[wasthere1]

Still have this on 45 very cool label graphics. The original release. Never forgotten it.

[powerpaw2]

I haven't heard this song since it was originally released. Smokin!

[Guitar4Eva100]

came here from JET forum XD

Was not even played that much in 68.. By then the record the change was on to "Crystal Blue Persuasion" rather than the "Mony Mony" sound. I'm still in denial.
