Garage and Ghouls – The Standells on The Munsters
Sixties Garage band The Standells were no strangers to the big screen, they appeared in a couple of low budget films Get Yourself a College Girl and the 1967 cult classic Riot on Sunset Strip (along with fellow Garage rockers The Chocolate Watch Band) They also played a fictional rock combo called “Love Bugs” on the Bing Crosby Show in an episode titled “Bugged by the Love Bugs”.
Here we have the band in their pre-Garage rock days entertaining The Munsters with their version of The Beatles “I want to hold your hand” in an episode called “Far Out Monster”.
