I found a CD of Frank Zappa playing live somewhere in USA, he played that song. I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks. I think the Turtles were his backing band at the time.
I was watching a doco on Zappa which got me to this song.In that mention was made that Zappa had hired three of the Turtles members to play for the Mothers of Invention.
Looking up some of MoV’s stuff,there must have been some heavy narcotics involved https://youtu.be/welCa2_pbFg
“..there must have been some heavy narcotics involved” ain’t that the truth! They also did a number called “a nasty on the White House lawn” as I recall.
Anybody that would name their kids Moon Zappa and Dweezil Zappa can’t be all there in the head
True. Some of the greatest artists, poets etc are well known for their use of opiates. Which makes me wonder what substances modern so-called artists use.
From the sound of it a mixture of Meth and estrogen.
…and the MoV spawned bands like the Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Electric Prunes and Iron Butterfly. Narcotics? By the truck load.
At 1:42 the gaily dressed and chummy player sounds the trumpet in the singer’s ear. That’s unique all by itself. LOL
Yep, 1968….the year I turned 30. Loved it.
Was thinking after listening through this one lastnight,about how rare it is now to find-
– Bands with actual talent.
– A group with a lead singer that can be understood
– Song lyrics that make actual sense.
Here’s a band for you… They are Swing Out Sister from the late 80’s but they are still making very good music – one of the few pop bands that I still listen to, they have a very distinct 60’s sound to their music… They are in my top five of all time.
I loved the animals. But in retrospect, listen to this again and realize this was the liberals’ theme song when they still cared if they were misunderstood.
Now, fully under the spell of the Left Sinister, they are all FYATH. LOL
John Lennon’s “Revolution” was the theme song all the lefties I knew rallied around,to bad they didn’t take time to listen to the lyrics and what they were really saying.
Exactly why I frequently distinguish liberal from Leftist, and especially in my preceding comment. “I’m just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.” Once transitioned full left, they could care less about being misunderstood (bereft of any portion of what may once have been good intentions).
That song was 1965 — as it used to be — this is now.

Steve Marriott was far more influential than many people realize.
