"Dirty Water" #11 7/9/1966

Although this record became an unofficial anthem for Boston and their sports teams, the Standells were from Los Angeles, and today's record got airplay first in Orlando. Their producer wrote the song after a real-life encounter he and his girlfriend had with a mugger down by the river...down by the banks of the river Charles. No, really. Their drummer and lead singer, Dick Dodd, was an original Mouseketeer from TV's "Mickey Mouse Club."
