The group's name is derived from FuzzTone, the commercial name of a guitar distortion booster invented in 1964 and whose distinctive sound was popularized in the 1965 hit song by "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by Rolling Stones.

The Fuzztones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's got a skirt that′s, ooh, so tight
I'm tellin' you, I′ve got an itch
She′s my witch
I love her 'cause she′s good and bad
Mess around and you've been had
She′s my witch
She likes to rock to a crazy song
Every night she's wailin′ on
She's a chick with a wicked twitch
She's my witch
She likes to drag in a goin′ mill
Plays a chicken just for the thrill
Until you wind up in a ditch
She′s my witch
She's my witch
She′s my witch, hoo-hoo
Yeah
The Fuzztones's She's My Witch is a song about a woman whom the singer is obsessed with. The lyrics describe her physical appearance - her black hair and tight skirt - followed by the refrain "She's my witch." This line is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's obsession with this woman whom he sees as mystical and otherworldly. The lyrics go on to describe the woman's personality, with the lines "She likes to rock to a crazy song" and "She's a chick with a wicked twitch" both underscoring her wild and unpredictable nature. The line "She likes to drag in a goin' mill" could be interpreted as referring to drug use, and the consequences that follow ("Until you wind up in a ditch").
Overall, the song presents a portrait of a woman who is both alluring and dangerous - the singer is clearly attracted to her, but also fears what might happen if he gets too involved. The repeated refrain "She's my witch" suggests a kind of possession, as if the singer is under the woman's spell and unable to resist her charms.
