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"
                             (Gerry Roslie)

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...
