  According to an interview with Sonics guitarist Larry Parypa (_Here 'Tis_

  #3, reprinted in #7), this ace rant was inspired by the Nashville Teens'

  'Tobacco Road':

  

  

                    "You've Got Your Head On Backwards"

  Verse 1 (continue w/intro riff):

  

  	You got your head on backwards, baby, you don't know where you're at

  	Got your head on backwards, baby, watch out or you'll fall flat

  	Yeah, instead of sayin' "hi" to the people that you meet

  	                                       [N.C.]

  	You oughta say "goodbye" as you're walkin' down the street

  

  Chorus:

  

  	              C7

  	You got your head on backwards, baby

  	                           G7

  	And you're gonna hit the ground, yeah

  	                D7

  	Well, when you finally fall down, baby

  	C7                   G7      D7

  	I don't want to be around

  

  [harmonica solo over intro riff, 6X]

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	Well, people been askin' me what's wrong with you

  	Uh, they can't understand all them crazy things you do

  	I got something to say and I'm sayin' it out loud

  	You better shape up, baby, and get down off of your cloud

  

  [repeat chorus]

  

  [harmonica solo over intro riff, 8X]

  

  Verse 3:

  

  	Well, you sure look funny, girl, you're sure lookin' strange

  	You can't stay this way, no, you just gotta change

  	The way you're walkin', talkin', it ain't lookin' right

  	The way that you been actin' is too far out of sight

  

  Coda (rant to fade over intro riff):

  

  	Yeah, baby, you got your head on backwards... yeah

  	You don't know what's happenin', uh-uh

  	Man, you're wrong... you're dead wrong, you know why

  	'Cause your head's on backwards...
