Crawdaddy Simone (3:13)

Cover of Telstar: The Joe Meek Story OST

From Telstar: The Joe Meek Story OST and 6 other releases

This became infamous as it was the B-side to a Drifters cover also recorded by The Syndicats, called “On The Horizon”.

It was quickly knocked up in half an hour while sitting in a cafe thinking of what to write for Joe Meek who they were meeting shortly. There was a Nina Simone album cover on the wall called “Craw Daddy” and they thought that would do as the title but they still had no song. So they started writing poetry. Literally anything that rhymed but not necessarily making any sense.

The song riff came from a something that one of the guitarists used to play repeatedly for his amusement.
