I'm calling this an art piece and naming it "Reverse Culture Shock". The concept in which you suddenly are projected into the past and are overwhelmed by the absurdity of it all.

i read there have been 7500 licenses issued by the publisher for that song. But i think the Troggs version is the most recognizable?

@Waitman Gobble I did not know that! Thank you.
I looked it up. Interesting it was a flop before The Troggs pucked it up. Interesting that the person who wrote it was ashamed due to it's suggestive nature and wanted no further recordings to be made except that first one.
Well, that sure did work out as intended.
And I guess it has brought him some nice money.

Yeah. Troggs is definitely on point. It must have felt strange to have a song that wasn't so hot licensed by so many people and turned into a music icon. Like everyone knows that song. And Hendrix recorded it, many famous musicians.
