I spend a lot of time on YouTube sorting through '60s videos. I haven't seen another quite like that one. Most of them are grainy black and white.

Hall & Oates are up there though.

Unlike the usual clips that we usually see from shows like Shindig!, Where the Action Is, Happening, and the like.

Here's another "odd" one for you: The actual Yardbirds (with Jimmy Page, no less!) doing an ad for a milkshake product.

I like the song, but here they look like they're about to slash their wrists.

But 1966 was such a great year for music including this song! Thanks for the video, never saw it before.

Never saw the video since we didn't have MTV back in 1960's. We also didn't have the internet where we could google the lyrics, so if they weren't quite clear on the AM station, we just made up our own.

For whatever reason this was the most ubiquitous, overplayed, worn out song played there. It was inescapable and almost constantly blaring from radios, bar bands, jukeboxes, etc.

I pretty much didn't care for it then but strangely enough, listening to it now instantly transported me back to that time.

It's still awful but thanks for the post and the memories.
