Not every Boston band of the 60's specialized in demented raveups - Teddy and the Pandas (actually from nearby Beverly) just missed hitting the Hot 100 in September, 1966 with this wistful ballad:

You're the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden I should keep away but I feel the need, and My love goes stronger every day But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)
