Another Ohio one-hit wonder, the Human Beingz from Youngstown. Capitol Records misspelled their name on the contract as “Human Beinz” and said it would be corrected on the record labels. It wasn’t, and the band was pissed! The Isley Brothers (from Cincinnati) first did this in 1962, and it flopped. The double-time pinging at the end was the bass player hitting a glass Pepsi bottle with a drumstick. They used the word “no” 31 times in a row - TWICE. This one I recall vividly from the jukebox at our local swimming pool in the summer of ‘68, as it played constantly. Some things just stay with you. The video today consists of “The Addams Family” gettin’ down. Check out Lurch with the stanky leg!
