Another outing for the MC5/Phil Coulter collaboration of 1966, which was probably learned from a copy of Them Again bought in Hudsons Department Store. It was the first single by the Motor City boys but already you can hear what made them great. I love the story where they took out a newspaper ad against Hudsons, who refused to stock their first MC5 LP 'Kick Out The Jams' because of bad language. The MC5's advert added to the bad language, and then Hudsons retaliated by withdrawing from sale all records on the Elektra label. You're the boss of Elektra records - what would you do ? Drop the band ?Ìý Yes, as it turned out.
