You've Got Your Head On Backwards - The Sonics [Tacoma, Washington] - 1966 - "One of my favorites by this band. The band is on fire. With Rob Lind TEMPORARILY taking over lead vocal duties from Gerry Roslie. Harmonica." - The Jerden Years 1966-69 (Munster)-2004.
I'm 70 now, but used to absolutely love it when The Sonics would play the Lake Hills Roller Rink in Bellevue ~ they were the best, and my ears would ring for 3 days from Larry Parypa's guitar!
[Verse 1]
You got your head on backwards, baby, you don't know where you're at
Got your head on backwards, baby, watch out or you'll fall flat
Yeah, instead of sayin' "hi!" to the people that you meet
You oughta say "goodbye" as you're walkin' down the street
[Chorus]
You got your head on backwards, baby
And you're gonna hit the ground, yeah
Well, when you finally fall down, baby
I don't want to be around
[Verse 2]
Well, people been askin' me what's wrong with you
Uh, they can't understand all them crazy things you do
I got something to say and I'm sayin' it out loud
You better shape up, baby, and get down off of your cloud
[repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Well, you sure look funny, girl, you're sure lookin' strange
You can't stay this way, no, you just gotta change
The way you're walkin', talkin', it ain't lookin' right
The way that you been actin' is too far out of sight
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Go Jerry,wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,alright,I love every one of there songs,they are all hits in my mind,they were giving it away but that's okay,what a band,then you put it in the time frame and it was heavy POUNDING ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
