Yeah, I love some of their stuff, not all of it. The basslines/bass tones are sometimes fantastic. But you can see here, that they were really into having a laugh. I'm starting to think of an imaginary concert with three bands on the bill: Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Turtles, the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. It'd be quite something.
Not sure if you've seen the clips, but it's obvious that they were made for TV and that's why they got their own TV show. The reason we have that clip that I shared is because it was their own show and they could direct the cameras etc. Hence Paul Revere playing up to the camera.
