Massb, your staples are silly - Them are Irish so Gloria would not count, Louie Louie was not done by a garage band originally but an R n' B dude. Also

I Ain’t No Miracle Worker – The Brogues/Jimmy and the Offbeats/Chocolate Watchband

Don’t Send Me No Flowers – The Breakers/The Blue & The Gray/Gentrys


OK here are some obvious ones off my head but they maybe staples?

In the Past - We the People / Chocolate Watchband
Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White - Standells / Stix n Stones / Senders / Gonn
Girl I got News for You - The Birdwatchers/Aesops Fables
 
"One Night Stand" - Grotesque Mommies / Daze Of The Week
"You're Gonna Miss Me" - Spades / 13th Floor Elevators / Heard / Zoo
"You're Gonna Make Me" - Penthouse 5 / Word D
 
"One Night Stand" - Grotesque Mommies / Daze Of The Week
Essentially the same band

because I was listening to this last week
Sad Eyed Lady - Baskerville Hounds/Solid Gold/Quantrill Raiders
The Witch - forgot band name, it's a light blue label Monarch press - Lancels?

I See the Light - Music Explosion/Majority of Six/Sound Track + one more that I forgot band name
Why Do I Cry - Remains/Velvatones
 
How about Signed DC, 7 And 7 Is, My Flash On You?
And how bout Don't Look Back?
 
Almost There also by the Spirits and The Showmen
Don't send me no flowers also by the What Knots
Goods guys also by the Dilly Sisters, Jades, and Persian Market
The Witch also by Syndicate Of Sound
 
Jolly Green Giant - Kingsmen/Don & the Goodtimes
Get it On - PRR / Eric & the Norsemen
96 Tears - ?/M, Music Machine, Music Explosion et al [unless this counts as a "staple"; where are you drawing your arbitrary "line in the sand" of staple v. non-staple]
Little Black Egg - Nightcrawlers, Music Explosion [staple?]
Steppin Stone - WCFields.../PRR/Monkees/Stillroven etc. [staple?]
Splash 1 - 13thFE/Clique

NB: "Girl I Got News for you" got covered well into the 70s (Cherokee, Benny Latimore)
 
"One Night Stand" - Grotesque Mommies / Daze Of The Week
Same band , Grotesque Mommies is the earlier version.

don't need your loving anymore-chocolate watchband/ gonn
 
I might be wrong now, but does:

Zakary Thaks - Passage To India/The Bubble Puppy - Secrets of The Golden Shrine qualify?
 
Luv it Axel. Is this a rip-off of You Gotta Help Me?
Don't know that one. Who did that? The riff sounds like Gloria to me...

Anyone already mentioned these?

Psychotic Reaction- Count Five/ Positively 13 O'Clock etc. (staple? but a genuine garage tune)
Put The Clock Back On The Wall- E-Types/ Parrots/ C.C. & the Chasers
 
The Wanted also covered "East Side Story" on the Detroit Sound label - one of their tougher 45s to score.
