Banned in the USA. That just made it even cooler to us Canadian kids

Gee! I was unaware that that was banned in "The Land of the Free." During the Summer of the single's release I was a Royal Canadian Air Cadet from Kingston, Ontario (58 Squadron) at the Trenton RCAF Base for summer camp and training / indoctrination. Me and my buddies were listening to this as loud as often as we could. (Later on I grew my hair long.)

This song really deserves to be part of the same conversations as The Sonics, The Monks and The MC5. VERY little music from 1966 goes THIS hard. The missing link between "Trouble Every Day" and "Kick Out The Jams", and it's a complete obscurity. I'm gradually trying to fix that. Wish me luck!

Not to mention the way it violently swings into this super-fast piano riff and then back to the basic beat kinda sounds like Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play" a year before THAT song came out...

I didn't know about this song in 2020/21. Definitely would have helped the insanity/mass hypnosis going on.

Hi Bristlefist, "Astonished" that, you've never laid an ear on it...after 20 years of catching up...well..I'm Happy that, you caught the 60's groove. David Clayton Thomas sang his heart out on stage here in Toronto back in the mid-sixties...before he made a killing with Blood Sweat And Tears. Have you heard Medicine Man by The Buchanan Brothers....Pushin' Too Hard by The Seeds....Pictures Of Matchstick Men by Status Quo. It all depends on your Favourite Sound from the 60's. Like Motown and Soul....is a category in itself. Folk....Psychedelic....Garage..... Pop....Country. Brainwashed is a tough one to decide. I would say...garage/pop. I even like the flip side called Barbie Lee...I believe...it has been years since I've played it. But, it is a Great song to sing and shout and let all the rage out...vent baby vent. Not many songs were released that, had "a beep tone" covering up a word or two....like this song has. They thought that Louie Louie was vulgar....but, they were mistaken. The Filthiest worded song that, I know was by Marianne Faithfull called Why Did You Do It. Play it in private..and it is Too Sick for females to hear....but, in all fairness....I think (don't quote me though) that, she was directing her words to Mick Jagger. But, I'm getting off track. Brainwashed...don't feel bad....even for those that, listened to their radios back in the 60's this song travelled under the radar. It did not appeal to everyone... but, my brother and I both Felt It And Loved it. Thanks. S. S.

Looked up DC Thomas's bio in wikipedia which led me to this incredible, catchy, anti-war tune. I once worked at a hard-rock AM station in the early 70's in the southwest where we played _everything_ and I _never_ heard this song until this morning! What a revelation. So, I guess it must have been banned in the US of A--which is hard to believe because sooner or later a jock would bring his copy and play it anyway! It must have only played regionally in Canada. BTW, yeah, the Jimmy Page, ahem, "reference" is apropos, to say the least. Be well.

It hit No 6 on the Canadian charts in July 1966. At 3 minutes and 15 seconds it was a bit long for AM radio as they would have to forego a commercial or two! DCT played with a band called the Shays and later the Bossmen up and down the bars on Yonge Street in Toronto, quite often at the Friar's Tavern, a few years before joining Blood Sweat and Tears. I almost fell over when I turned on my TV one Sunday night and saw him singing with Tom Jones on Ed Sullivan.

Ask the thousands of families who lost a loved one to Covid if it were real or not. Also, it wasn't just an "American" crisis. The vaccine has almost completely rid the disease from killing people; for now. The more appropriate target in regards to American's being "Brainwashed", would be the unbelievable amount of people who think Trump was and still would be a great President. That man honors himself and no one else. He's the most dangerous person to be in leadership since Hitler. But I guess it would take dam near a gas chamber for some people to figure that out. By then, it's to late. Oh...by the way, the Holocausts was also real.

What a wild time that was. It's literally like everyone completely forgot what happened. It's like everyone blocked it from their memory. Super trippy.
