"I Get Out Of Breath" by The Turtles

The Turtles were a 60s pop band from California that had a short but impressive run on the charts in the late 60s. Their first hit was an emotive cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe," which soared to #8 in 1965. By 1967, they topped the chart with the #1 smash, "Happy Together," which reigned supreme for three weeks.

The Turtles would grace the Top 10 throughout the remainder of the decade with "She'd Rather Be With Me" (#3), "Elenore" (#6), and "You Showed Me" (#6). But their hot streak came to a crawl and the band was back in their shell by 1969 when "Lady-O" stalled at #78 and became their final chart appearance.

"I Get Out Of Breath" would have been a better single to go out on. Taken from their final album, 1970's "Wooden Head," this is a song about dealing with the perplexities in life.
