Thread Name: One hit wonders
Subject: RE: One hit wonders
Someone on Paltalk asked me a question, since I pomposed about knowing everything about pop music (lol). He said that a problem that had been plaguing him for years was what was the B-side to "96 Tears" by Question Mark & The Mysterians. After 2 days of searching, I found it was "Midnight Hour" (nor the Wilson Pickett one). "Midnight Hour" was originally going to be the A-side (since it was more upbeat), but the band went with leader Question Mark on a whim to release the B-side instead. It worked. "96 Tears" is the one everyone knows, while "Midnight Hour" took 2 days to even locate....
