The Barbarians were from Massachusetts and released this self-titled record in 1965.
They liked to wear sandals and their drummer Victor "Moulty" Moulton had a hook-shaped prosthetic left hand after losing his real hand in an explosion when he was fourteen years old.
This song is kind of a novelty tune, but it also rocks, and it made it to number 55 on the music charts in 1965.
In 1966 The Barbarians had another minor hit called "Moulty" named after and sung by Moulty himself, that was a humorous autobiographical song about the drummer's life and the loss of his hand.
None
of the original band members contributed to the song, and Moulty was
backed by New York session musicians, some of who would later be in the
group known as The Band.
