Captain of Your Ship  performed by  Reparata & the Delrons  (1968)
Composed by Kenny Young/Ben Yardley
From: USA
Recommended by tinks [profile] on Tuesday 1st May 2001

Mind-blowing late-60s girl-group sound with very odd lyrics...words really can't describe it. Suffice to say, it's a strange song. This group started out as a very typical girl group of the early 60s mold, but kept plugging away long after those groups had gone out of style. This cut from '68 is very psych-y and "groovy", as was the fashion at the time. They eventually transformed into Barry Manilow's backup singers, but please don't hold that against them.

from Best From Bell (Bell UK BLLP-111)
available on CD - Magical Musical History Tour (Mo-Banana)

Other Versions: paper dolls,plus there's a girl punk version but i can't remember who it's by

The fact that it's sampled by Betty Boo in Doin' The Do is another plus point!
