I can think of some I Want You Backs worth checking out too -
Bobby Shad & The Bad Men
Also Trinidad Esso Steel Band
And finally Paris DJs podcast had a like 20 part series of half hour mixes called Molesting Laura that were this kinda theme, covers and ripoffs, that're worth checking out. If you're willing to google "molesting laura" that is.
- spidey
that's Beach Boys "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"
Oh snap...I didn't realize that was the original! Thanks for the heads up. I hope you enjoyed the mix if you had a chance to listen.

Dope, reminds me of a heavier version of Visioneers
