Musical palate cleanser, Nuggets edition, day two

You get a two-fer today.  One, because both tunes are on the short side; and two, because you’ll notice they share a common theme.

First, the pride of Minneapolis, it’s the Castaways with their one hit, “Liar, Liar”.

You don’t get a lot of falsetto vocals with garage rock, but it works.

Then, there’s New Jersey’s finest, The Knickerbockers, who actually had a couple of hit singles.  This one’s “Lies”.

Pretty good Beatles ripoff.

Ah, hell, here’s a bonus track not on Nuggets.  It’s The Knickerbockers’ other hit, “One Track Mind”.
