This is the one for The Standells.
The cover was not kidding, either. Just when this song was starting to get airplay and revive The Standells after facing their fate as a 1-hit wonder with Dirty Water, someone (I think Gordon McLeandon - spelling possibly off) decided to go out and ban this, resulting in a nation-wide rejection of what is the ultimate Standells song. Only a few stations played it after the outcry and an appearance on the Art Linkletter show which I think featured a debate about the record.
