The Tee Set, "She Likes Weeds"

Every once in a while, you'll hear an oldie from one of those bands we music geeks like to call "one-hit wonders," and you'll think, "Hmm, I wonder why they couldn't make it happen again."

And then you decide to try to figure it out, upon hearing the Tee Set's "Ma Belle Amie," a 1970 hit from a Dutch band that never hit the Top 40 again, since you've got YouTube right in front of ya, and you see what else they've got.

And you go WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE when you find their follow-up, "She Likes Weeds." I mean, holy mother, the song's bad enough, but those utterly random video cutaways! Those framing stretchy girls! Seriously, if this had been available around 1995 when Mirsky's Worst of the Web was the best of what the Web had to offer, I think it would have headlined for a day.

Research for this entry informs me that although "She Likes Weeds" did not chart - apparently U.S. radio steered clear of it because of that title; no Wadsworth Mansion of subtlety were they - another song, "If You Do Believe in Love," did stumble to #81 in 1970. But I'm afraid to seek it out on YouTube.
