Near the end of 1965, I was never so glued to the radio, listening for this record to come on, and enjoying it every time; it was so good. In those days, a new hit record that got lots of requests would be played a whole lot. And sure enough it went to #2 by the end of the year, right behind Day Tripper by The Beatles. It's another great example of the organ in my favorite rock music too. And it was my #1 favorite for all of 1965.
I liked the commercial too. But The T-Bones took the music and made it into a sharp, bouyant sound that could flush the world with good vibes and bring all kinds of people together, no matter what their shape is. That's how I felt about the T-Bones' music, even though this was before hippies and psychedelia; although as it happened, that scene was just getting started at exactly the same time, as the great alignment of the planets was getting exact for the first time too.
Here's the original Alka-Seltzer commercial that had captivated America just a few months before. Despite the stated date, we did not see it on TV as early as 1964.
