I first heard this song in the 80s on an oldie channel. It was originally released in 1969 and peaked at #12 on the Billboard 100 and #12 in the UK. The song has a drive to it that I love. After I heard it I went straight away and learned it on guitar.
The band wasn’t really a band that toured…just a studio band
Crazy Elephant
From Atlanta, Georgia, to the Gulf Stream water
up to California end I’m gonna spend my life both night and day
I say, gimme, gimme good lovin’ every night
(Hey you know it’s alright, child)
Gimme, gimme good lovin’ make it alright
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
up to California end I’m gonna spend my life both night and day
I say, gimme, gimme good lovin’ every night
(Hey you know it’s alright, child)
Gimme, gimme good lovin’ make it alright
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
To the girls in Frisco, to the girls in New York
To the girls in Texican, you gotta understand
That baby I’m your man
I say, gimme, gimme good lovin’ every night
(Yeah you know it’s alright now)
Gimme, gimme good lovin’ make it alright
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
To the girls in Texican, you gotta understand
That baby I’m your man
I say, gimme, gimme good lovin’ every night
(Yeah you know it’s alright now)
Gimme, gimme good lovin’ make it alright
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Good song. I never knew who did it- had several guesses but wouldn’t have ever come up with correct band.

It really was just a studio band made to do bubblegum hits…the flip side was sung by 10cc member Kevin Godley…It’s a rocking little number though.
