'Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl?' w'Lyrics where needed.- 'The Barbarians'.

No copyright infringement intended. This video's purpose is solely to highlight the talent of the band and songwriters.
One of the great "garage band" rock songs of all time "The Barbarians".
"Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl?" was released in Sept. 1965, just as the long hair faze began. The song was done with tongue firmly planted in cheek, as The Barbarians sported long hair themselves. This video features "cameos" from "The Beatles", "Rolling Stones", "The Doors", "Big Star", David Bowie, Justin Hayward and Steve Marriot of the "Small Faces".

I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing the Barbarians back in the late fall of 1965. They were as wild and wooly as their name implies.

Hadn't heard this since 1965 on my transistor radio.

Saw them in Montgomery in 1965. Far Out Man

Love the Barbarians' solid garage sound.

Nuggets is one of the best, if not THE best, box set collections put together with wonderful narrative done by Lenny Kaye, guitarist for Patti Smith and DJ on Sirius Little Stephen's Underground Garage. I LOVE these songs and would love to put together a band that does nothing but this stuff. So much fun to play. GARAGE ROCK RULES!

This was a huge hit in 1965 here in Ma where they were from.

saw them in Barrie Ontario in 1965 I think...a little vague...Moulty was fun. He said he got a steel drumstick because he broke sticks and had to screw the new ones into his prosthetic (don't hold cherry bombs and light them kids). Then he started busting drum heads. fun band and good guys.

People used to sing this to me all the time. Now I'm bald.

I met them in 1966, they used to live on Buswell Street in the Back Bay of Boston.

This got a lot of play on WMEX when I was in Junior High.

[dennislowry]

I graduated in '65 and I do not remember this song. It rocks.

[rogerwalker]

I'm pretty sure (99%) this was played on Lansing, Mi radio stations when I was in 9th grade.

[bam]

I remember first hearing this in Vincent Garcia's impala----albuquerque

[alexanderwaverly]

Waiting to see this song go viral with a 2023 edit to the video.

Moulty is a regular at my work he's very nice

The Barbarians: "Are you a boy or are you a girl?"
Professor Oak: "That's MY line!'

Produced by the same Doug Morris who wrote "Sweet Talking Guy" for The Chiffons and became a big record producer and started his own record company and then Sony music. Still alive at 85.

Wow. Can you imagine how this song would offend people, if it were released today. 🤯

This song was legendary when I was a kid. The drummer had one hand. We all thought was totally cool.
