I don't know about the rest of y'all, but even ignoring the possible Paul Revere connection, a band named "The Raiders" is hard to pass up. That's a name that wants ADVENTURE! They're RUDE! Well, I don't really know much about these Raiders. I don't know if they're the same Raiders as Paul Revere and the Raiders, but I know I have one great and strange single on my hands.
The B-Side is another stupid ballad with dee-doo-bee-doos
My Steady Girl
But the A side is a hoot. One of those rare moments where raucous garage rock met exotica (keep in mind though, I have no clue when this single was from). Screaming, jungle noises, complete disregard of any notions of "good music".
The Raiders - Walking Through The Jungle
Listening to it I thought of this excellent compillation on excellent label Del-Fi. Full of strange (sometimes vaguely) jungle related songs. Noticing it's out of print, I figured I'd throw it up here. As far as I can tell Kari Wuhrer has no real involvement in this album other than as a model (who knows, maybe she compiled it!) but I've always suspected that she's a pretty groovy girl. What's lame is that I formed that opinion from her role as Tanya in the Command and Conquer video games. Ignoring Kari, as hard as that is, this is one of my favorite comps, and I'm usually pretty honest about what I put on here.
