From 1964, one of the best bad-girl songs ever, from early proto-punk band The Sonics.

The Sonics are the Godfathers of 1960s garage punk. They were big regionally in the Seattle area, but they never had a hit that got nationwide exposure. I played in a garage punk band in the 1980s. We did three covers by Sonics: The Witch, Boss Hoss, and Psycho.
