In this episode, we use the Socratic Method (and Google) to answer the Supreme Question: “What makes ‘96 Tears’ so good?” In Part 1, we soully focus on ? and the Mysterians original version, recorded & released in the peak garage rock year of 1966, and you can't spell 1966 without "96"! Among the many Mysterian mysteries we uncover is the correct pronunciation of the singer’s name, the secret of the organ riff, and how a song that doesn't have a rave-up freak-out can still be classifiably insane.
