you all need more Cherry Wainer in your lives
The Strawberry Alarm Clock says time to wake up
(I've gone down a rabbit hole of cheesy '60s organ sounds)
(I've gone down a rabbit hole of cheesy '60s organ sounds)
I am particularly fond of this classic of the cheesy organ riff by Minnesota's own Castaways
The big bang of the cheesy organ rock genre: "The Happy Organ" by Dave 'Baby' Cortez (1959)
He followed it up in 1962 with this roller skate rink headbanger, which cranks the organ cheese all the way to 11
The same year Booker T & the MGs went #1 with this all-time great. It would be wrong to call Booker T "cheesy" but you gotta believe he inspired lots of less talented super-cheesy garage band organists
The cheesesplosion of the 60s was enabled by portable organs that banana peel smoking hippies could throw into their band van with the fuzz and wah wah pedals. Pick your weapon: Farfisa, Vox, Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes 
I'm not sure you can top this for pure uncut organ cheese: Telstar by the Tornadoes (1962), using an instrument known as a clavioline (made by Gibson)
