Some of the best sixties punk records are barely comprehensible, especially if they're by a Texas band. These San Antonio kids already had one future classic, "I'm In Pittsburgh (And It's Raining)" to their credit by the time they waxed this 45 in early '67, but this one is a giant leap sideways. Actually several giant leaps sideways in one song. After weaving all over the road doing 50 in a 30 mph zone it pulls over and barks nonsense at you, then roars off again. Sort of like "7 and 7 Is" but with no attention span whatsoever.

Tunes like this one are my favorite kinds of 60s punk - it's amazing how insane these tunes sound and this is one of the best.
