The Kinks said You Really Got Me when they heard about the Rockin the 60’s Bash at the Manukau Cruising Club.

The Who were excited, declaring, “Yeah baby, that’s My Generation!”

Otis Redding promised, “I’ll be there,” (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay style, while The Doors knew this event was going to Light My Fire.

Aretha Franklin simply demanded Respect, and The Beach Boys were ready to bring nothing but Good Vibrations. Bob Dylan may even roll on in Like a Rolling Stone.

Steppenwolf shouted, “Let’s go — we’re Born to Be Wild!” while The Animals knew exactly where they were headed — The House of the Rising Sun.

Of course, The Beatles reckon it might be A Hard Day’s Night, but Roger Miller reminded everyone you don’t have to be King of the Road to make your way to the Manukau Cruising Club.

Nancy Sinatra said These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ — all the way to the Manukau Cruising Club — before The Beatles finally wrapped it all up with one message:

Come Together.
