Another song that totally defined the 60's, as every garage band just had to play it. It was first done by a NYC band called The Wild Ones...and completely flopped. The Troggs (they were originally known as the Troglodytes) recorded it in a single take - and sure sounded that way. This record spawned a thousand cover versions, and has been used in hundreds of movies and TV shows. My second favorite usage was in "Major League" when Charlie Sheen took the mound. The best cover version was when Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire after playing this at Monterey Pop in 1967.
