488266 2006-10-02 00:36:00 Actually, the original Mellow Yellow was a song released as a single by Donovan in the UK in November 1966 and on the album of the same name in March 1967 in the USA ... I know .... I was there!

Anything else named Mellow Yellow (or similar) is a play on the popularity of that song.

I'm not so sure it's a NZ classic - it was pretty big in America, eg in motorsport sponsorship
