The list of songs and dates is easily verifiable. The fact that the songs have a 5 rhythm is a musical fact based on the readily available materials, not research.

| Song |
"Grim Reaper of Love" is a single by The Turtles released in May, 1966. It was written by Turtles members Chuck Portz and Al Nichol.
It is an early example of raga rock, using a Vinnie Bell electric sitar.
It may be the first released rock record that uses a 5 rhythm (3-2 on the opening verse), predating the Beatles "Within You Without You" (June, 1967), Frank Zappa's "Flower Punk" (March, 1968), and the Byrds "Tribal Gathering" and "Get to You" (January, 1968). We Five's "Small World" was released earlier, on the 1965 album You Were On My Mind, but is more of a folk/jazz arrangement.
