| 488275 | 2006-10-03 07:27:00 | Ahhhh Donovan, now there was a fine hippie folk singer. Mellow Yello is resounding in my virtual ear at this moment. And not to do a hijack but Donovan did another delightful song called the "Intergalactic Laxative" www.sing365.com from the excellent Cosmic Wheels album. |

| 488276 | 2006-10-03 12:22:00 | Well, why not do a hijack, Winston? Donovan's much more interesting than a sugary fizzy drink that wasn't ever that big in NZ anyway. We've heard more than enough about it by now.... I must have missed those lyrics in the decade they appeared ( Yes, I'm sure I'd have remembered) And they're certainly an interesting contrast with the anti-war song he wrote. I still have - in a box somewhere - the single,"The UniversaL Soldier" - heard often at Vietnam War protests. (And when a radio station somewhere banned it, naturally that helped its protest song credentials..) I was intrigued that no major artist recorded a cover version - or none that I heard. Was it considered a career risk, I wonder? The song was open to a variety of arrangements & styles, but seemed to remain the preserve of its author. As I guess the "Intergalactic Laxative" did ..? |
