In the 1960's there were at least two singles released titled "Psycho," and neither of them had anything to do with Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece of the same name.
Listen to it, and then you tell me how this ever got played on AM radio, but it did.
I've heard a lot of weird songs in my life, but this one is up at the top of the list.
A psychiatrist call and response with a teenager full of angst hopped up on something.
66 years later, and still strange as Hell!
And what about that guy Bob? Whatever happened to him?
The voice of the psychiatrist was New York City DJ Tommy Smalls, aka Dr. Jive.
In 1965 the kings of Northwest rock, The Sonics, came out with a completely different song with the same name, the incredible "Psycho."
If you don't believe them, just wait for those screams!
Pretty funny that a song named "Psycho" would come out on the "Etiquette" label.
Not sure why, but for some reason this song just drives me crazy!!
