Free Music Notes for Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl
Free Music Review: A Lame Attempt To Flaunt The British Invasion
Hit: 4 Stars
Formed in Provincetown on Cape Cod, this garage-rock band hit the airwaves in October 1965 with the novelty tune Are You A Boy Or A Girl? taking direct aim at the long locks of many of the British groups appearing on the North American scene. It's catchy, with a nice beat, but the problem was, by this time most young boys on the continent had started to let their hair grow a-la Beatles and Stones, and so the market for the satirical lyrics was pretty limited. Consequently, it only reached # 55 Billboard Pop Hot 100 b/w Take It Or Leave It. Obviously, most fans left it.
Almost half a year would go by before their next charter, an autobiographical tune by the group's leader and drummer Victor "Moulty" Moulton. It seems he had blown his left hand off while fiddling around with a home-made bomb [after which he wore a hook], and while this might have seemed like a fascinating story to him, the record-buying public clearly didn't think so because Moulty, b/w I'll Keep On Seeing You, barely made the Hot 100 in March 1966, settling in at # 90. Interestingly, background vocals on this are provided by The Elegants of Little Star fame in 1958.
The Barbarians, which also included guitarists Jeff Morris and Bruce Benson, along with bassist Jerry Causi, did enjoy some TV success, having been regulars on Shindig and The T.A.M.I Show, but record success beyond those two minor hits eluded them.
So why 4 stars? Well, one thing completist collectors like is to see ALL of an artist's charters on one disc, and this one has both, along with their flipsides. Other than that, it's pretty ordinary stuff.
