The Who - Summertime Blues

With all respect to the original by Eddie Cochran, this is the version that's burned into my brain. And if you're up on your history of sixties rock, then you know that the Blue Cheer version, although released before this one, was inspired by the Who's version, which the Who had been performing live for several years before they recorded it, and which members of Blue Cheer had seen them perform in the Bay Area. So I guess if you didn't know that, then now you do. And the summer songs just keep on comin'...
