Here we are in the middle of the week ("hump day" as they say here in the USA); I think this record will help everyone get over the hump!
The Golliwogs were a California bay area band that released a handful of singles before changing their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1967, losing the garage edge and releasing a string of hugely successful singles.
This one, however, for my buck is their best ever (and I really do like most of the CCR stuff as well).
I love hearing John Fogerty sing without the contrived southern accent, too.
from 1966...
THE GOLLIWOGS - FIGHT FIRE

Its a great tune.
I urge you to listen to the cover version of this tune on Southern Culture On The Skids' "Countrypolitan Favorites" record. Their version absolutely smokes!
That's the thing cool--you'd never know, really, that the Golliwogs were them unless someone told you. And I like CCR, too.
