I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night

1966 music checklist:

Weird band name? Check (and, yes, this was before Strawberry Alarm Clock and Moby Grape)

Fuzz tone guitar? Check

Hey, don't forget the backwards guitar! Check

Snappy drum into lick? Check

Lots of echo? Check

Psychedelic title and lyrics? Check

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Electric Prunes!   I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night hit #11 on the Billboard Chart in the fall of 1966.  I was 15 and thought it the coolest song.  Composed by Nancie Mantz and Annette Tucker who wrote seven of the 12 tunes on the band's first album.
