WHEN FUZZ RULED THE WORLD

I certainly wasn't expecting any wildness when I saw this. What the hell, the host said it was an "exceptionally cool" and it was from 1966, a good era for exceptionally cool music in general. The song was from Malaysia and was by an outfit called Rosnah and the Siglap Five. There's the curve ball. If you dig oddball stuff, you know as well as I do that your mouse acts like that thing on a Ouija board, the click comes from another force. The song starts out a respectfully novel pop song, with some good organ backing, then at 1:20 the guitar solo.  About four notes of harmless guitar, and then the fuzz comes on and things get freaky, exceptionally cool as it were. Twenty seconds of, not only tweaked fuzz, but a drummer laying into the cymbals like he's had two pots of coffee.
