When my luck is down and I can't think of a thingDespair, lust, and frustration—the Troggs nail it. Again.
I just go to my bed, lay my hands on my head
I open my mouth and I sing, yeah I just sing
When we're out on a gig and you start moving that thing
Well, it goes to my head and I start seeing red
I open my mouth and I sing, yeah I just sing
When I think I'm right and you, you think I'm wrong
It just goes to my head and I start seeing red
I open my mouth and I sing, yeah I just sing
The Troggs, "I Just Sing" (Wild Thing, 1966)

oh, man! i LOVE the troggs! they are a greatly over looked and neglected band. to me, punk is a minimalist musical form. metal is an excessive musical form. bands like the troggs, the (early) who, the (very early) kinks, the small faces influenced BOTH punk and metal. arriving when they did on the scene their music was excessive for it's time yet minimalist in comparison to what was to come. thanks again!
