The Surrealistic Pillar - I Like Girls 1967 (60s Garage Bands)
The Surrealistic Pillar - I Like Girls is a song from the garage rock explosion era in the mid sixties. It was released in 1967 or 1968. The band hailed from Louisiana. A simple song with a simple message.

Dave is so cheeky
Another stuffed cell phone find!
Bob Mould, Lenny Kaye, and the great band Kaye assembled, doing one of my favorite songs — “Action Woman” by the Litter — at the amazing Nuggets show at City Winery in NYC, July 2023. The whole show was great — and I did not expect Juliana Hatfield being one of the best performances — but this one, one of my ‘80s teen musical lighthouses doing a fave ‘60s garage punk song, really blew me away.
The Existential Dreadniks - The Boogie Man is Coming! | 1960s Garage Rock
Jeanne Hatfield - “My Babe” We Had the Beat! The Heart Beats & Other Texas Girls of the 60s Song released in 1965. Compilation released in 1998. Blues / Garage Rock / Blues-Rock
No one appears to have ever really written anything on Texas' Jeanne Hatfield—at least not online—which is a little weird considering the fact that she released several singles throughout the 60s. But I have a graf I found in some liner notes from a comp called Texas Punk Volume 5 (1965-67) that should do some ample scene-setting:
Deep in the Texas valley, north of the Mexican border, lies the lovely city of McAllen. Back in the 1960's, McAllen had a thriving music scene that ran from Tex-Mex, Ballads and Soul to Rock and Roll. The best studio around was Jimmy Nicholls. He started the Pharaoh label in response to the demand for local talent to be represented on vinyl.
One of those local talents was evidently Jeanne Hatfield, who wound up releasing two singles through Pharaoh, her first one being 1965's My Babe / Summertime, whose a-sided Little Walter cover presented a sweet brand of smolderingly intimate and minimalistically simple, "Green Onions"-y garage blues.
And Hatfield's rendition of "My Babe" has a little bit of a Texan tinge to it, too, doesn't it? Like, couldn't you see yourself playing this at night while riding solo down an empty southwestern desert road in an old convertible? I definitely could. There's like a subtle simmering heat buried within this thing, and it doesn't really show itself, but there's something there and you can totally sense its presence. Also feels like this song would play well in the end-credits to a solemnly concluded episode of Eastbound & Down or something. Very cool vibe. Personal and melancholy, yet groovy. Hire me, premium cable showrunners.
So many gems out there just waiting to be listened to.
