Title: Spanky & Our Gang – Give A Damn
Year/Genre: 1967, Pop / Sunshine Pop
Condition: G

Cultural Facts:

1. The title became a TV/radio pressure point—stations edited, avoided, or discussed it, reflecting how fast late-’60s youth slang was colliding with broadcast rules.

2. The group’s mixed-gender lineup and “clean” image let them slip countercultural language into mainstream variety-show America.

3. The band’s original singer “Spanky” (Elaine McFarlane) later shifted into teaching and choir work, a rare exit from the pop churn of the era.
