1. I love the Standells

Probably my fave song is Rari - I think it's the B side of "Dirty Water."

[Fenris]

2. Riot

Yep. Riot.

3. Also, "Try It" is great

What is it about? Drugs? Sex? Who knows? Who cares? It's a great song.

5. Yes, by all means....'Try It'..

.....

4. Dirty Water for sure!!!

Great Boston song.

6. Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White!

I also like "Have You Ever Spent a Night in Jail."

Great group--part of the great Pacific NW garage/punk explosion! Extra credit for appearing on the Munsters--with one demerit for playing a Beatles song.

7. Which Beatles' song did they cover???

I am curious...

8. I Want To Hold Your Hand.

It's the episode where the Munsters rent out their home to a bunch of kids. The Standells play two songs--the Beatles tune and another tune called something like 'Everybody Ringo.'

Herman recites beat poetry. It's pretty funny, actually.

9. "Medication" I can see the very young Reid brothers going"hmmmm"

forget the Velvets and Beach Boys, this song is where JAMC did major pilfering
