Just curious: Why 96? Why not 97? Because 96 really doesn't seem all that many to me. You could do that in an afternoon, I'm guessing... Hmmm.

Reminds me of The Who adding horns to their old songs when they go on tour. Totally unnecessary.

It has been an "interesting" day for covers (Wilco doing Steely Dan?!)....RP needs to play some Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin covers, esp. 8 Miles High - wonderful!

Gee, I think it's a decent cover (and I'm old enough to remember the original, which I also liked).

These guys deserve credit for their cojones. It's an incredible risk to cover this song. NO ONE can top Question Mark and the Mysterians.

I love the original song! I remember delivering the San Diego Union Tribune morning paper with my little transistor radio ratteling out this tune. Edited By frednic at 5:12 pm on 5/29/2003

This is horriable...

Best cover I've heard was by a Detroit morning show.. WRIF.

Dick the Bruiser did a version called "96 Beers"

"And when the sun comes up,
We'll throw up"

"Your gonna be drinking
96 Beers"

"Drink, Drink, Drink"
"96 Beeerrrsss"

What else to do with the worst TOP FORTY number one song ever - why not provide a bland cover version?

Yeah, I bought that album way back when, very good. This song just sounds goofy compared to that well-crafted pop....

Another band I've never heard of, but then we never heard again from Question Mark and the Mysterians, and the song killed then, too.
