Very good band, I grew up with them.

On the B-side of Dead End America the Pagans chose to cover a song by a Daytona Beach, Florida band called the Nightcrawlers. The song reached # 85 on the U.S. charts in 1967. The song has alternately  been called sparse folk rock, garage rock and sometimes psychedelic rock. Definitely a Byrds influence to the sound. This is the original and then we'll hear the Pagans punked out version.

wanted to post a comment that it is similiar to Buddy Holly's ''its so easy''., but the record started playing and I am taking my words back. so so beautiful melody, especially in the chorus

#85?  This went all the way to #3 at WQAM in Miami, back in '66.

First song I learned to play a riff and sing in harmony. Loved it then and still love it now. It has a certain naive innocence and purity....

Duane and Gregg Allman both got their start in Daytona Beach (before the Alllman Brothers Band) and shared the stage with this band

They played at my senior prom. Great band, and good show. Melbourne high school. Class of 1966!

Chris Happy

amazing love this

Louise White

I loved that guitar melody...just so pretty

Cleveland was one of the regional markets where this great song hit big, which probably explains why it was later covered at various times by the Music Explosion (Mansfield), The Cars (members from Cleveland & Columbus) and The Pagans (Cleveland). And yes, it is the first song I ever learned how to play on guitar.

I still have this very same 45 and it's one of my favorite recordings.  My entire vinyl collection is for sale, but all at once only, and I'm in Paris, France.  Thanks for this.  This was one song I could play and sing myself.  I like the minimal style in this!  Greetings from the Rust Belt and punk NYC.  BIKINI GIRL

A little-known classic

Kathy Rogers

David Schulze

does anyone recall the plastic eggs with short messages inside that would suposedly answer your questions according to which one floated to the top??

Rik Surako

all the Columbus, Ohio bands did this in the 60's...probably the first riff i ever learned.

How can it be just as great? Yes, the Nightcrawlers wrote it which is my point. The Cars did not and cannot improve on the original written by yes! The Nightcrawlers!
