@browsemusicvideos Thanks for the suggestion! I got the CD's from Amazon, great garage rock! Seems like this song is slightly slower on the CD then it is here on RUclips.
I think it is, he basically saying he's got no money so she's going to have to pay for everything. "Just drop your bills and keep me alive till I die" LOL
l these years of loving this record, I still don't know if this is meant to be a parody or not. anyone have any history of this group? -- Also, this is sped up by about 1/4 step, but even on my strobe-calibrated TT, there's still hardly any bass. -- Thanks for posting this.
countrypaul the flip side of this was a song called "Face it". Do you know how to find it? P.S. Song was recorded by Kearney Barton at Audio Recording in Seattle. As you speculate, they were quite amused by the whole thing, yet somehow had a feeling that they were a little ahead of thier time.
@@haleighboulanger352 - This still kicks ass! The harp is "out of tune" but it isn't - the placement is absolutely intentional - part of the genius of this record.
@Sandbagger300, I "get" the lyrics - wonderful '60s chick put-down stuff. I guess I'm just wondering about their motivation, if you will; were they dead serious when they made this, or did they know it was both funny as hell yet a damn good rockin' record? I'm going with the latter since I found this link on the net: pnwbands [dawt] com slash bag [dawt] html. FYI, record in '65, released in '66.
...but rewritten with some seriously agressive interesting chording. That harp isn't as random as it seems. Joel Hill, who seems to be behind this, was a quite sophisticaed LA musician with a weird sense of humor. I love this thing more every time I hear it.
I love Garage, Punk, Psyche and all the rest of it, but these guys must have had friends at the record company or something to release this Beatles-copying tripe. Fucking hilarious.
According to George Harrison, they listened to nothing but Dylan for weeks on the road and John ripped off this riff and a few others that he liked and used them in several harmonica tunes. John loved Dylan's "huffing and puffing" style, which Dylan borrowed from Bluegrass, of playing the harp. One, there is nothing new under the sun, two, you can't pull things out of thin air. There is always a source.
Epic Dylan Beatles synthesis, Cheers.
I love the off-key harmonica.
Now that's a name for a song most splendid this is
i feel more Dylan the Beatles there, and in particular our french folk rocker Antoine 'les elucubrations)

I Should Have Known Better
what song are you referring to?
The out of tune harp gives it a microtonal feel. So much more musically and lyrically important that the Beatles "Peace & Love" horseshit.
sounds like The Beatles tune I should have known better.
...but rewritten with some seriously agressive interesting chording. That harp isn't as random as it seems. Joel Hill, who seems to be behind this, was a quite sophisticaed LA musician with a weird sense of humor. I love this thing more every time I hear it.
Correction: JOHN Hill.
Monica is in the wrong key or kee or whatever
The harp is intentionally in a contrasting key.
