"The World Ain't Round It's Square" is a song recorded in 1966 by The Savages, a garage rock band from Bermuda and was written by Howie Rego and Bobby Zuill.[1] It was recorded live at the Hub, a nightclub at the Princess Hotel in Bermuda and appeared on their live album taped from the event, Live 'n Wild. The song has been mentioned as a landmark anthem of 1960s youthful defiance and is ranked #4 in the list of the 1000 greatest garage rock records in Mike Markesich's Teenbeat Mayhem. It has been featured on the Teenage Shutdown! The World Ain't Round, It's Square! compilation as well as included the reissue of Live 'n Wild.
- ^ NOTE: We have not presented the title of the song with a comma in between clauses, because that is not the way it was printed on either of the labels on the 1966 Duane Records album, Live 'n Wild, or on the single released by Duane, nor on the back cover of the album. Some sources and compilations insert a comma in the title, but we have kept it in its original form out of respect for the song. For photographs of the original single and album, see the article in Garage Hangover. [1]
