Since this group was a bit of a one-hit wonder, I have always thought that this song has gone rather unappreciated in terms of its place in the development of hard rock and heavy metal When you consider the era this song was written, some of the hard rock elements of the song are pretty far ahead of its time. The bass lines are very cool, and the 2-note lead-in to the last verse was a very unusual technique back then.

The Music Machine was an important Sunset Strip band that had a sudden moment of glory with this great song. Instantly in January of 1967 every local band was doing their cover of it at all the open houses (dances). It was the sine qua non of hard rock in it's day, though one must mention 1966 rockers as well like Gloria, Wild Thing, Psychotic Reaction and Love's 7 and 7 Is. What a time for music this was.

I get the chills just thinking about it! There are still a few bands putting out new music like this and doing great covers of the 60s stuff. My favorite is The Satelliters (from Germany). I didn't like their first few albums as much, but once they released "What's Up With Timothy Dee", their albums have been awesome. I think "Hashish" is their best work. Also "Sexplosive" and "More of the Satelliters" and "Timothy Dee". (If you can find the original vinyl of "What's Up With Timothy Dee" it had a couple songs that were not included on the CD when it was finally released years later. The Chesterfield Kings and The Miracle Workers too!

That's 100% what makes this era of music so great. Wear suits and ties, have a catchy tune, and then subversive lyrics and some dark distortion of the guitar. Love it.

Does anyone know this was one of Fleetwood Macs producer Keith Olsen's first bands? He recently passed. Talk about ahead of their time, and what a drum track.

Buying this 45 record at 13 years old, and then following it up with Jimi Hendrix-Are You Experienced album, was why my parents were worried about me. Then to their suprise, I turned out to be "White collar conservative walking down the street" How did that happen?

White collared conservative flashing down the street Pointing their plastic finger at me. From the song, If 6 Was 9.
Musically, this song much more complex to play than most people realize. There's a lot going on between drums, bass, and rhythm guitar.

In those days(as far as I know), they called it punk, likely because they were American wannabe Brits(after Beatles, Stones and in MM's case, the Animals); then when the Sex Pistols, Ramones, et.al. broke, punk got applied to them; for a while, the 60's bands were called grunge by some writers, then the Seattle bands broke and grunge got applied to them. In both cases, bands with something more original to offer made off with those labels. MM, the Standells, Seeds, Blues Magoos, etc. as well as the Lyres and Original Sins, who outdid the former and the rest, have been called garage ever since.

Fabulous. I was six years old when this song was performed. I love knowing something this cool was going on somewhere when I was already on the planet, but before I actually even knew what "cool" was. Like it was just out there, hangin' in the ether, waiting for me to find it someday. Thanks Sean Bonniwell, KZitem, and the video poster!

I really liked this song, bought it then when I was in high school. Called a punk anthem (meaning what - 70s punk or late 60s punk rock, or proto-punk as MC5 is sometimes labeled). All I knew (and felt when I listened to Talk Talk) was that this song was different. Something about it. Heavy rough riff over simple melody almost spoken lyrics, key change, horn phrase to end the verse, then this short'n'nasty lead guitar riff from out of nowhere, and then next verse began with his vocal. Almost as though it was "deconstructing" a pop song's style.... Cool music.
