    Count Five

    Count Five was an American 1960s garage rock band formed in San Jose, California, best known for their Top 10 single "Psychotic Reaction".

    Background

    The band was founded in 1964 by John "Mouse" Michalski (born 1948, Cleveland, Ohio) playing lead guitar and Roy Chaney (born 1948, Indianapolis, Indiana) playing bass guitar. The two were high school friends who had previously played in several short-lived bands, most notably a surf rock group named The Citations. As the British Invasion's influence took effect, the band changed in musical direction. After going by the name The Squires for a short time, along with several line-up changes, the Count Five was born. John "Sean" Byrne (1947-2008, born Dublin, Ireland) played rhythm guitar and performed lead vocals, Kenn Ellner played tambourine and harmonica, while sharing lead vocals, and Craig "Butch" Atkinson (1947-1998, born San Jose, California) played drums. The Count Five were recognizable for their habit of wearing Count Dracula-style capes when playing live.

    The Count

    by: Classic Crime

    Be good to me as you once were when you pulled me from
    the brink of death
    My enemies were frenzied for a taste of my flesh
    And now I've got the same feeling again
    The beasts are closing in their teeth are dripping with
    rattlesnake poison
    So I will run into Your open arms I've got nowhere else
    to go
    I don't want to live like this anymore
    Trading truth for the simple things
    I don't want to live like this anymore
    Will You give me the will to sing out
    When I'm filled with the darkest of doubt
    When I'm down for the count
    Protect me from mutiny
    From those who miscarried your baby
    From those who miscarried the truth
    So they could selfishly do whatever they thought was
    pleasing
    Protect me from insincerity
    From between their teeth it's practically oozing
    Their eyes are hollow and blind they're always wasting my
    time
