The Humane Society were an American garage rock band from Simi Valley, California who were active from 1965 through 1968, who are best known for their 1967 protopunk anthem, "Knock Knock." The Humane Society formed in Simi Valley, California in 1965 as the Innocents. Their lineup consisted of Danny Wheetman on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jim Pettit on lead guitar, Woody Minnick on rhythm guitar, Richard Majewski on bass, Bill Schnetzler on drums. Producers Dick Torst and Dick Parker discovered the band while performing on a flatbed truck parked next to a local record store. They recorded their first single for Liberty Records in the spring of 1967, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips With Me," now as the Humane Society, which pre-dated Tiny Tim's 1968 smash hit rendition of the novelty song.
