Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey is probably one of the more raucous rock numbers they recorded. That's a truly underrated song.
While I totally agree that they could rock live like nobody's business (confirmed by no less an authority than Lemmy!), this clip isn't totally live--the vocals are live but the backing track is prerecorded (and is in fact a vocal-less mix of the single version, tho' they do the "shoo be do wop" backing vocals like the slower LP version). This was due to a musician's union ban on (totally) miming on TV.
