Poll question: Best song by the Standells
Okay, don't laugh and no flames please.
They appeared on "THe Munsters" once...

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

3. Also, "Try It" is great
What is it about? Drugs? Sex? Who knows? Who cares? It's a great 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.

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.
