Well do you punk?

Today's poppy song come to you from the land of The Lovin' Spoonful. Do You Believe in Magic was the Lovin' Spoonful's first in a string of group hits in 1965 and 1966, and was written by John Sebastian.

Now so you can believe, here is the Lovin' Spoonful!

Also, as an aside, here is one of myfavorite songs used in one of my favorite short-lived TV shows.




Also, here is the first episode if you get interested. State Of Grace!

You really do have him

Today's band needs no introduction, they formed in 1964 and rocketed up the charts in August of that year with You Really Got Me, the band: The Kinks!

Enjoy!

They actually know each other

Today' song comes from The Association, a classic Sunshine Pop group formed in 1965 in California. Today's song and video showcase their first hit song, Along Comes Mary.

So enjoy the Association as they perform on The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour.

they're not for in the house

Today's band formed in 1963, and among their string of hits, was a string of even more memorable musicians, including Eric Clapton, Jeff_Beck, and Jimmy Page. I'm of course speaking of the fabulous The Yardbirds, presented here for your listening pleasure.


And here they are in 1966 (featuring Jimmy Page!) with Shapes of Things!





Also, here is a cool(er) video of this song, but it cannot be embedded.

Also, I found this video of Jimmy from 1957 to be very neat, so I'm including it here for your pleasure as well.
