I think the guitarist was ahead of his time with that technique. Also, Dick Clark appears at the end.
From Wiki:
By 1969, the Count Five had broken up, but their memory was immortalized in a 1972 essay by rock journalist Lester Bangs, entitled "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung." In the essay, Bangs credited the band for having released several later albums (after Psychotic Reaction): Carburetor Dung, Cartesian Jetstream, Ancient Lace and Wrought-Iron Railings, and Snowflakes Falling On the International Dateline — each displaying an increasing sense of artistry and refinement. However none of these subsequent albums actually existed except in Bangs' own imagination. linkLester Bangs was overrated. But, he was memorably portrayed by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous.

Nb: The Count Five's lyrics:
I can't get your love, I can't get satisfaction
Uh-oh, little girl, psychotic reaction
The Rolling Stones recorded a song several months later around the theme of "Satisfaction."
We used to play that song, back when it was current. The 12 string guitar is more interesting to me than the chicken scratching - that was old even then.
Did they use to lip sync on Dick Clark? I can't remember any screw ups when the various bands performed. How primitive we were back then. We used to think cross dressing was unnatural and lip syncing was part of show biz rather than a crime against nature.
