Day 250: Crimson and Clover by Tommy James & The Shondells // 4
First of all, who are the Shondells? Second, as good as this song might be, I can't help but feel like it's a bit too plain, perhaps poppy. Obviously, this could be attributed to the time of when it was written. It definitely sounds a bit dated when I think about the musical phrases. The lyrics themselves are quite lackluster. They don't do much for me, especially when they're so simple. The melody itself, although memorable, just doesn't have enough of a catch. It's the worst kind of memorable. Oddly enough, it's in a very similar genre to yesterday's song by The Mamas & Papas. I can respect the psychedelic interlude, but frankly it just isn't enough.
