"Don't Worry Baby" is such an amazing song - it's all about car racing, and yet it's so not about car racing. It pains me I can't vote for it.

Stabbing was a fairly common sign of critical approval in '64 IIRC.

"A Change is Gonna Come" may be the most absurdly great song ever relegated to the B side of a single
