Fab song! Also a great way to stump folks as to who the artist is!

A WORLD-WIDE hit recognized for the fuzz guitar riff. According to the New York Times, "Greenbaum used a Fender Telecaster guitar with a fuzz box built into the body to generate the songs characteristic guitar sound." INDUCT NORMAN!!!
