"Land Of 1000 Dances" #30 4/24/1965

The only hit for a group with one of the greatest band names ever, Cannibal and the Headhunters. Supposedly while in high school, lead singer Frankie Garcia went all Mike Tyson on another student, thus the nickname "Cannibal." Written and originally recorded by New Orleans' own Chris Kenner and a hit again in the fall of '66 by the wicked Wilson Pickett, reaching the Top 10.
