"Kicks" by Paul Revere & The Raiders (1966)

Why I like this song ? It's probably the catchy bass lines and cheesy Revolutionary War outfits worn by the band "Paul Revere & The Raiders", plus the dancing girls with the lousy choreography somehow entertain me too. Please don't tell me that the girl shown at :58 seconds is Goldie Hawn...it's clearly not her.

Well what do you think ?
Can anybody tell me what they think the "Kicks" are all about?

Yo, song stinks, but these type bands were a necessary evil in shaping what was to become the eventual rock landscape...

How's this for obscure. A band named Q5 from the 80's hair metal scene. Floyd Rose, the creator of the Floyd Rose tremolo system was a guitarist in the band...take a look...
