"Sally Go Round the Roses" by the Jaynetts

I'll take the scratchy & fading YouTube version of one of my favourite 60s songs over all the others. The figurines, toy bear & potato head are the perfect foreground. It has the transistor radio feel of the first time, as well as the early adolescent fascination with exotica. A kind of 'siren song' for the boy lulled by vocals, lyrics & rhythms into secret meanings which the Jaynetts (one of the era's lesser known 'girl groups') seemed also coyly to deny. But that's an adult interpretation: to the 60s kid with the transistor to his ear the secret is felt, almost irresistably.

Funny how the ear's first taste of the enchantress still comes back after all these years.
