I really like this one. I used to love playing along with this song.

If you grew up in the Detroit or Michigan area you may remember this gem.

Love Scott Morgan's soulful voice.

Don't know if this was a hit nationally, but it was locally.

Great group.

Here's a few blasts from the past.

Strawberry Alarm Clock was cool. I am a member of guitarist Ed King's (the guy with the red strat in that clip) Forum. He's also one of the the three original guitarists of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I thought Paul Rever & The Raiders wrote that song. They had a hit with it too.

Indian Reservation - Paul Revere & The Raiders

Scott Morgan is great, indeed. The Rationals album is cool. I love the shit he did with Sonic Smith and the new soul project, The Solution, which he did with Nicke Andersson of The Hellacopters too.

I bet they would have gone somewhere if they would have just changed their name! You know.....like to the Rolling Stones maybe. :D

LOL, yes, "? & The Mysterians" isn't very commersial I guess..

For a minute I was afraid to play that - I thought it was the Baby Come Back song they use in the Swiffer commercial which I do NOT want to hear :lol: But thankfully it was the cool song :D

Arrghh! Isn't that the one by Air Supply?

Yeah, I know what you mean about the song and commercial.

"Telegram from a Mr. Mop"

Stoopid! :blink:

I don't know who did that version - it's awful though and that commercial :rant:

It's by Player. What's scary is that I didn't even have to look that up, probably because it's etched in my memory from when it first came out. To make it even worse there's a second commercial that uses a Mexican version of the same song.

Yes, they did. One called The Love Parade. I didn't realize until reading their AllMusic bio right now that Life In A Northern Town was an elegy for Nick Drake.

Interesting - I didn't know that either. I like Nick Drake - discovered him thanks to a Volkswagon commercial, though it took me the longest time to figure out who it was. I think when some of his songs appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Serendipity, I figured it out.

The Mexican version is truly awful. I cringe when either one is on!
