THANK YOU for the link, Mark Rosenthal! I could even download it from an app.
I used to play it on my radio show. And sang it a few times, at parties. I haven't heard it since the late 80's, when most of my self-assembled cassettes were stolen (along with the car - which was replaceable...). I had forgotten how much fun this song was! At first, it didn't sound like the same version. But when the (woman?) started singing about George and Tammy - the rest of it fell in place.
What a great, timely band they were.
And this should really be put back on Youtube. Unavailable music is dead music. (as opposed to Dead music). If you can't hear it, it gets forgotten, and undiscovered. I don't understand why bands don't put their out of print songs online. Is Spotify going to pay them? Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders recently posted a check he got from an online source. For one cent! Must have been for the last 10 years...
