"Like, Long Hair" is a 1961 top-40 hit song by American rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders. An instrumental composed by the group and arranged by Gary Paxton, it spent six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 38.[1]
A piano-based twelve bar blues with a "twist" beat and an electric guitar break, it opens and closes with crashing concerto-like chords, the "long hair" of the title; "Like" was a beatnik-era particle with no particular meaning.
