always thought this was the best version (off of Pebbles Vol 1)
never knew that Positively Thirteenth O'Clock = Mouse and the Traps in disguise
Here's a not great version by The Fire Escape, who also nicked the song title as their album title
(i like that scoundrelly Sixties practice of rushing out a cover version in the hopes that confused consumers would buy the wrong version)
the original
this got to #5 in the US charts! exciting days
the guys look like they can't believe their luck
there's been a shitload of cover versions - at the time and then later
hard to go wrong with it in some ways
then again
that involved an early JJ Cale
Much better is this groovy soul version
punk-era
Eighties psych-redux and nu-garage
we'll skip the Cramps shall we?
ditto Tom Petty + Heartbreakers
unclassifiable
briefly covered / defaced amid "Swastikas On Parade" from The Residents Third Reich N Roll
Ah almost forgot about this echo
A rave and hardcore compilation from 92 that I reviewed at the time
Quite a few of the tracks on it are "in the spirit" of the Count Five / Positively Thirteenth O'Clock
Like this immense tempest by Holy Ghost Inc, titled "Jihad" on Give Peace A Dance Vol 3 but "Psycho Missus" on their own 12 inch EP (one of the grrrrrrrreat H-core EPs, going for as low as $2 on discogs)
Holy Ghost = one of my hardcore heroes
Here's a review of Nuggets where I trace the spiritual affinity between garage punk and bedroom rave
More madness from Give Peace A Dance Vol 3 (madness enlisted versus M.A.D.-ness i.e. mutually assured destruction - all profits and royalties to CND)
And some slightly mellower madness
(where does that "it'll make you go ooh na na na" sample come from then, peeps?)
Mellower still
Madder again
Interesting that the compilers would go with the subtitle "Psychotic Reactions", wonder if they knew their Sixties garage punk. It's a good title and serves to differentiate from the previous volume of Give Peace A Dance, which was subtitled "The Ambient Collection"
