Yes, the keeper of worthless facts knows this one. The band was the Barbarians, and the drummer's name was Moulty. (pronounced like molt - ly). Their biggest hit was a wretched plea, sung by the armless drummer, to rise up in the face of all odds and try, try, as hard as you might, and you will succeed. Easily the most revolting part of the song was the ludricrous announcement at the end that "all I need now is a girl, to love me, to hold me tight, and I'll be a perfect man". The bands only hit, whose name mercifully escapes me, can be found on the collection album "NUGGETS---Hits from the Psychedelic Era". The album is great, containing things like Pushing Too Hard (the Seeds), the 13th Floor Elevators, Ted Nugent's "Baby Please Don't go", "Dirty Water" by the Standells, "Tobacco Road", "Liar" by the Castaways, etc. If it only had the Amboy Dukes singing "Journey to the Center of the Mind"....., wait, where's the windowpane....
