I can think of at least two punk songs that owe a massive debt to this
And this is one of the catchiest things I've ever heard

The Kinks were the 3rd best* UK beat group after the Beatles and the Who
My favourite number by them
*A strong case could also be made for the Small Faces... too close to call?

Today's album of the day... Something Else (1966)
Each album was a huge leap forward for them during the 60s - this is magnificent and still sounds very fresh

Their career trajectory might have been quite different had they not been banned from the USA at the height of the British invasion after falling out with the musicians' union there.

It all worked out quite well in the end though. The American ban was lifted in early 1969 which ultimately resulted in them enjoying belated success in the US throughout the 70s and 80s |

I reckon they might have headed in a more mainstream 'rock' direction if they had spent the late 60s touring the US, at the expense of the quintessential English whimsicality (epitomised by 'Village Green') that makes them unique.
