They were musically solid and their videos were very well done and could’ve easily rivaled and surpass the music videos of the time. Check out “Bitch School”. The lyrics appeared to be about a girl who was hard to get along with and needed to be set free, but was actually about a pet dog that needed training. BTW “bitch” is not a vulgar word when used to describe a female dog. “Listen to the Flower Children” totally nailed the sound of the times (1967) and the video actually looks like something from 1967.

I bow down to their outstanding songwriting ability and musicianship as well as comedy. They're really off the scale. And to point out, they've been playing music together for way longer than most bands last.
