As appeared on Diggin' For Gold #10

was this ever a 45? Ugly Things database suggests not not but yet doesn't say 'unreleased' either

it has one of the best opening lines to a song ever!

Never liked it. Novelty garage w/ awful vocals.

Well, the singer and the band are badly matched, definitely. The singer is trying to be Roy Head while the band is trying to be the Music Machine. Definitely veering into novelty, kind of like a garage version of Joe Tex's "Skinny Legs and All."

Watch an early Fleischer Popeye cartoon from the 30's and then listen to it. And I like good punchy novelty garage. Let's see: Little Black Egg, Be A Caveman, Ling Ting Tong, Don't Fool With Fu Manchu, I'm Allergic To Flowers, Spider and the Fly, Psychedelic Siren, Reality Of Air Fired Borsch, No Good Woman, Good Times, Voice Green And Purple. Let me ask, is the Tamrons - Wild Man novelty garage garbage? Umma ga ga Umma ga ga.

Bye the way, for folks that don't know, "Top-Less" here means brainless. Probably inspired by Stupid Girl. Yeah, that's another one, isn't it (I love the Trolls cover version)?
