Re: Mello yello
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 ..?
