96 Tears (? & The Mysterians)

Too many teardrops
for one heart
to be crying...

Anyone got a picture of these guys? You just can't beat the garage feel of this classic-I've always LOVED the keyboard in this one. Was it a Farfisa?

(Or am I really thinking about The Seeds or The Blues Magoos?)

Psychedelic garage music from the 60's influenced a lot of today's music, it's great stuff to explore.

You're gonna cry
cry
cry
cry, now
96 tears...

Garland Jeffries did a wonderful cover of it, too.

:loveya::hug:

LOVE THAT SONG! Follow up was "18 Arms" "I got 18 arms to hold you!" WOW!

When I was stationed there in the Navy late 65 / early 66. Ever notice how you associate some songs with some things?

see Booker T. and The MG's? They are my favorite Memphis band.

They seemed to drop out of sight pretty quickly but that was a great song.

:hi:

Is that you having eye contact with the singer?
Inquiring minds want to know.

drummers make my heart sing

...wouldn't distribute it under that name, so they changed it.

That song was being played over and over and over by some cuckoo guy,in the Pizza Hut where my roommate and our 4 friends were gathered. We were there to discuss how 5 college freshmen (with NO jobs) could manage to come up with $900 for her (my roommate) to have an abortion.. Kansas University 1968..

Needless to say, every time I hear that oldie on the radio, it all floods back..

It ended up being a fiasco ..in spades..

We managed to sell stuff, clean apartments, do laundry, give haircuts, beg from families (no one told them WHY we needed the $$)..and off to Oklahoma she went.. and came back sick, and still pregnant..

so we had to start over.. by now she was almost 5 months..

Next trip..off to Nebraska.. this time it worked, but she almost died..

pregnant girlfriend. Clockwork Orange was a tragic band. I was their drummer.
