A cover of a totally fabulous song by The Orange Alabaster Mushroom (Greg Watson). Psychedelic Pop at it's very best. Greg . . .you're a genius. File under: Psychedelic Pop/Rock
retro guitar based psyche
Artist picture
An 'Invisible Band' project.
This is a Major Snagg / Big Sleep 'side project', to create and record mostly high power psychedelic type of material (covers and originals). . . Full Tilt Psychedelia . Just as XTC briefly became The Dukes of Stratosfear, so have Tony and myself become The Lykes of Wytch . . . but probably only briefly . . . well maybe not !

Story behind the song
I discovered the songs by The Orange Alabaster Mushroom a couple of years ago. Originally a 'one-man-band', Greg Watson (from Ottowa, Canada) recorded his songs onto cassettes. Some of the earlier recordings are quite 'lo-fi' as a result, but still pretty awesome. He obviously got some better recording gear later, as other songs are very crisp and cleanly recorded. He put a band together of like minded individuals and plays live; mainly I guess, in Canada. He has a uncanny understanding of the psychedelic 60's sound. I'm a big fan of his songs. Hope you like my 'interpretation' of this brillliant song. You may recognise part of a hit song by Sonny and Cher that I incorporated in my 'outro'. Check out The Orange Alabaster Mushroom on Youtube and Facebook.
Lyrics
You'll soon pick 'em up and be singing along.

Nice blast-from-the-past experience David a tune that expresses the psychedelic 60's beautifully

How do you find these songs, at any rate, it's sounding really good, David. Great guitar riffage and vocals/harmony. Just the title alone and the beat goes on outro are worth the listen and everything else is a bonus. Nice!

Fantastic song...really surprised that I've never come across this one before - didn't know the original at all. I love these quirky, slightly odd kind of songs. Great lyrics. You've done a first class job on the vocals and harmonies. Nice work on the guitar too! Quite an achievement to cover a song like this...there is such a lot of stuff in there!
