Well, B holds better as a song but gets marked down for such flagrant Beatles-aping in the chorus. So, A.

Both pretty good, and more about the performance than the song. A's just that bit wilder, with an untamed quailty.

Wasn't aware of this side of Baby Huey, and was in fact thinking it had been shoehorned into the category - nope, not at all, it totally fits!
B's pretty good too - love the fuzz opening particularly - but it's spirited rather than totally unhinged like A.

Maybe because it's late in the day. I'm having trouble voting for either but for different reasons. If I don't come back to this I'll abstain but I'll try and come back.
*Edit: Jungle? Raised by gorillas? Year-around tan? He looked like a monkey but really a man? Um ... hello? Uh, obviously it was recorded decades ago and the singer was black, but it makes for very uncomfortable listening now (yes, subjective and my problem).
I just don't like B as much. Nothing much wrong with it for what it is. Which is short.
Fuck it, taken in the spirit they were made

I've hated everything by this soul charlatan that the BCB massive have foisted on me up to now, but this isn't bad. Maybe garage was his metier. I mean, it's no Cannibal a& the Headhunters, but it is primitive and absurd, with a fine critique of Darwinism in the lyrics and what even I can recognize as a decent bit of guitar mangling.
B just lay there and defied me to come up with anything interesting to say. Dick and the Dandelions, nul points
A
How anyone can knock Elias & his Zig Zag Jive Flutes for recording quality and yet sanctify the racket on these two is beyond me

Damn, it's not Toots, The Specials, or even Melt-Banana, but a completely different and inferior song. I've run out of comments on this kind of thing. Standard rock with some stupid noises.
Ugh. Did no-one clean the fluff off the needle? Reminds me of "Get Off My Cloud".
Nah.

B is ok, but A is a step up.

B is nothing without the backing vocals, and that’s not a good way for a garage track to be be. A sounded a bit too much like the Doors in places, vocal-wise, but it’s still a great pick.

Yes!
I'm speaking as a non-Doors fan, if that makes it any better.
