What does this sound like?

From 1967, Sweden's The Jackpots with Jack In The Box. I'm hearing Blockbuster, Queen and Sparks, and possibly Mica's tribute to the same.

Wow that's pretty impressive
and for people who are interested in these sorts of technical points: I'm hearing lots of backwards reverb... Hasn't Jimmy Page always said he was the first person to do this?!
Wot no pie-chart? ;-)
Yep, hear all the above. Great track - a 'Rubble' classic.
Theres a bit
of Move/Roy Wood/Wizzard thing in there too.
An a dash of ELO
(Get the Sweet, Queen and Mike references too)
I'm getting
a bit of The Move too.
Move definitely
with woody undertones of Mark Wirtz and Bee Gees. Spits. Next please.
From a similar-ish gene pool...
'Happy Castle' by the Crocheted Doughnut Ring. Maybe someone could do a Jackpots/CDR mash-up? Or not. 'Penny Lane'/'Getting Better' has a lot to answer for. :-)

Somewhere in Sweden..
..a grumpy bloke aged around sixty has heard Mika on the telly/radio and is going off on one to his friends and family. Again. Who roll their collective eyes.. "Yes, dad.. The Jackpots were ahead of their time and you could probably sue.. now give it a rest, will you.. again.."
