Incense and peppermints were used to cover the smell of pot in the air & on your breath. With that in mind, listen to Brewer and Shipley: "One Toke Over the Line" !!
You have to lookup, on TH-cam, Lawrence Welk Show, One Toke Over The Line video. It is hilarious. They OBVIOUSLY didn't have any idea what this song was about! He called it "A modern American Hymn"! It is sooooo funny!
Yes that is paisley print in the background. I used to have a pair of paisley pants I wore around the for a few years until I lost them in a house fire. My kids were upset about everything burning except those pants. Both of them said thank God because they were ugly...lol. If I even looked at something similar after that I'd hear "No Mama. You can not get those"
YES! And then "Bus Stop" by the Hollies, and "Eight Miles High" by the Byrds... Now they're ready for Crosby Stills and Nash. "Carry On / Questions" or "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" would be my picks.
This was one of the top songs of the 60s!! Beautiful, melodies and harmonies, and the words were amazing!!!!. We had the best music back then .I feel sorry for the kids of today.
such a classic 60s tune! Pure psychedelic 60s mini skirts lether fringed vests, long hair, cars with tops down, transistor radios, hippies, Woodstock. I had a cousin who had a crushed velvet purple vest and mini skirt and her room was all purple and beatles all over, me, a kid,. When Beatles hit, they wore a lot of British plaids and my first grade out fit was a little plaid dress. i had Monkees pictures all over my little closet door. I begged mom to get the teen mags with them. My brother always had a Mad magazine which i would always enjoy when he was finished with it. I didnt always understand it, but was fun anyway. Especially their parody of movies.
They were a Glendale CA band and were from the “Canyon” scene with the Byrds, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and Mamas and the Papas, they all lived up on Laurel Canyon above Sunset Strip Los Angeles.
Another great songs from 1967, For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield, A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procrum Harem and Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues.
Some other fun '60s psychedelic songs for you to try: Jefferson Airplane: "White Rabbit" The Electric Prunes: "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night" Love: "A House is Not a Motel" The Doors: "The Crystal Ship"
Tommy James and the Shondells "Crimson and Clover"! Jethro Tull "Aqualung" ! Cream (Eric Clapton played guitar) "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room", "I Feel Free"!
I constantly annoyed every dj in town to play Midnight Confession the year it came out. I loved the song so much that I talked myself backstage at the big concert on the Mall on the 4th of July, 1983, When they came to my college the next fall, one of the guitarists remembered me.
For a little psychedelic-er Grass Roots, I'm partial to their song "Feelings". It's always good to see their performance of that song nicely featured in the Doris Day film "With Six You Get Eggroll". (Or, as I always call it, "With Six You Get GrassRoots"!)
@@jamestate5059 ..Exactly , a big part of Skynyrd’s History in the beginning.. he was there when most of Skynyrd’s Greatest hits were written ... a falling out with Ronnie Van Zant caused Ed to leave the band .. King would miss the plane crash ....
Tommy James & the Shondells, CRIMSON & CLOVER & CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION. Also, the Charlie Daniels Band Live Version of THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA. Thank you! Love, from the Great State of Oklahoma, USA 🤍
Ed King, a Guitarist, Left this group and later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd. He is probably most noted for composing or assisting in composing the music for Sweet Home Alabama.
+1 on Crimson and Clover. Please react to the studio version by Tommy James and the Shondells... full-lengrh album version (somewhere just under 5 and a half minutes).
What a great choice. Lost classics. Some others you may like are Donovan-Sunshine Superman Ides Of March- Vehicle (Plenty of horns Jay) Lemon Pipers-Green Tambourine 60's and 70's are such a great musical journey. Thanks for keeping this music alive with new listeners
The late 60's and early 70's was all about peace, love, psychedelics (drugs), with a constant cool and chill vibe, hence the guitar player sitting down
I grew up with this kind of music when rock and drugs were still relatively new. They had great harmonies and did amazing things with limited electronics....no autotuners or even electronic recording ( magnetic tape then and celluloid film) and yet....we rocked out! THanks for the reminder.....
I saw the Moody Blues at the Arizona State Fair in 1995. I have absolutely no idea why I did NOT go and see Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, and Steve Miller Band that SAME YEAR at the fair. Idiot.
Eastern influence in this era.....I had a Nehru jacket in junior high. Also had lots of paisley prints, and go go boots. Think “Austin Powers”. One of my favorite psychedelic songs is “ Hardy Gurdy Man” by Donovan. Fun fact...Jimmy Page played guitar on this with a killer solo, John Paul Jones on bass, and John Bonham on drums(they did some sessions work before Led Zeppelin).
I was 6 when this came out... Amazingly I do remember my mother listening to this. It played in the house. My parents loved music. I inherited that gene...so grateful for that!
@@cristyrawks6325 - Hi Cristy! I was born in ‘66, so I didn’t “live” the ‘60s, but I LOVE the music. My daughter loves the “hippie look” and ‘60s psychedelic music too. Take care.
I was 12 years old when this came out in 1967. My cousin was in high school and she had to run out and buy herself one of those nehru jackets because they were the rage with the cool high schoolers. The print in the back is called paisley.
Kenny Rogers had a 'psychedelic' song you should check out, "Just Dropped In ." You know, the same Kenny Rogers who did "The Gambler" that you reacted to. He may have had more, I don't know, but that comes to mind as one to check out.
Love that psychedelic music from the 60's and these outfits. Peace signs, hippies and free love graced the 60's but also Vietnam and assassinations. One of my favorites from back then was The Electric Prunes singing I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night. Glad to see you guys looking into the sounds of the 60's.
Wow, You're taking me way back to my elementary days! There are so many rabbit holes from that era! Yes that was the "acid rock" days and if you look at the Beatles that was the same time they started dressing like that. Great reaction! ROCK ON!!
Thanks for doing it! I was a teenager during that time. Tommy James and the Shondells had some cool psychedelic songs in the same era. Crystal Blue Persuasion, and Crimson and Clover which was covered very nicely by both Joan Jett and Prince. I like Joan Jett's version a lot.
This really takes me back to junior/high school. Love the song - you probably should have been there to really appreciate it. Fun times! Bands were coming up with all kinds of names then. Love the Nehru jackets and love beads. Btw the print is paisley.
I grew up in the 1960s and when I was in 6th grade this was my favorite song, I still love it so much that i want this song played at my funeral! In the 1970s I was a full fledged Hippie, and i actually did burn incense in my room to cover the smell of the pot smoke, and always with this song playing in my head
Here's another group and song out of the psychedelic age that you might like. The name of the group was the iron butterfly. The original name of the song was supposed to be in the garden of Eden, however since the group when they went to play that song were so stoned that they were slurring their words and the song came out in-a-gadda-davida. If you play that song with the word lyrics on the screen as you listen to it and if you replace the words In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida with the words in the garden of Eden the song really makes sense but they were too stoned to sing the correct lyrics. That's how that bizarre name became the title of the song that's just one of so many weird nuances of the 60s and 70s music and names of songs it was a weird time a great time I'm going to tell you you could leave your house unlocked go anywhere and come back and everything would be there everybody's house in the neighborhood was open and everybody will just go to another person's house and walk right in neighbors were like best friends. Couldn't do that today though. It was the best of times and it was the worst of times that's the title of a great novel and that title sums up to 60s and 70s it really was the best of times and the worst of times on the one hand you have all this great music and all these great bands and musicians and then we had the Vietnam war we had major drug problems everybody was poor at least everybody in my neighborhood which back then your neighborhood wasn't just the core block it was about 10 core blocks around 10 to 12 core blocks around you. We have so many great things too like drive-in movies great place to take your girlfriend on a Friday or Saturday night especially if you were both a little frisky. I believe that's probably why the music of the '60s and '70s was so iconic and so loved by so many people and if you get into the 60s 70s and 80s music more you'll start to realize just how good it is and why so many people loved it.
Great old 60s psychedelic classic. Beginning of the entry into the "Drug" era of the mid to late 1960s. What a time for great music, and other things too.
I met my husband in 68.' All the clothes they're wearing almost makes me laugh now but back then it was HAPPENING!" My hubby wore a Nehru suit for my fall dance (I went to a parochial high school, he was a public school kid!) Half of my girlfriends were following over themselves just to check him out, it didn't hurt that he was also pretty good looking so he had his moment in the Sun! LOL! We broke up in '69 and that year he graduated and enlisted in the military. Next stop, Vietnam. I finally tracked him down in 2010 and didn't let go!
Incense and peppermints were what kids back in the day used to try to kill the smell of pot in the room and on their breath, lol. The print in the back? Paisley.
You fell head first into 60's psychedelic rock. I was lucky enough to live through this. Bell bottom pants, paisley print shirts, pink or yellow sunglasses. It was an insane time. The summer of 1967 was called the Summer of Love. Lots of good music. Excuse me, " groovy " music. Peace and Love, you two....
I've ALWAYS loved this song from Strawberry Alarm CLOCK. 😊 You finally found one older than me...almost. 😂 COW BELL!!! Can never have too much!! 🌟Neru Jackets, 🌟Beads, 🌟Shades 👌 Amber - you REALLY need to look up the lyrics! Way, way off!!!
This song is associated with a very early Jack Nicholson psychedelic film, 'Psych-Out' taking place in Haight-Ashbury San Francisco around 1967-68'. The film centers around a young, deaf teenage girl being exposed to the psychedelic culture.
Fun Fact: See that barefooted guy on far left playing guitar? He is Ed King, went on to play for Lynyrd Skynyrd, and either quit or fired in time to NOT die in the plane crash.
Dude I saw this and I remember my momma playin this when I was 8 or 10. And Im pushin 60.....very 60's and 70's....sound.....This is "love and Peace" music.....
Something I noticed that I've never seen before. I've seen drummers as lead singers before. But their drum kit is always where you would expect it, set up in the back, As is the norm. I'm a major music fanatic of the 60's, 70's and 80's. But this is the first and only time I've ever seen the drums front and center. Much Love Rob & Amber P.S. Tesla - "Love Song"!!!!
You would enjoy the Group Supertramp and the songs Goodbye Stranger or my favorite Long way Home! I'll just say this... Piano, notes that sound like Barry!!! Lol
Here's the backstory: it was the 60s. Added note: the line in the song 'the color of time' is used as a band name by a high school classmate of mine who has an oldies band in Denton, TX.
There were some weird band names back then. Another one that got air play around here was a band called Bubble Puppy and their song was "Hot Smoke And Sassafras ". Similar to this song.
Randy Seol the guy singing and playing the drums in this video. That was not him actually singing in this video. He was lip singing. The person who actually sang this song was Greg Munford in the studio when they recorded it.
I was in a band called "The Extortions" back in '67. We won a battle of the bands competition and the prize was to open for SAC as they toured the region. It was a total gas and they were some serious musicians. I learned a lot. They were stunted creatively by their record label who unfortunately only saw them as a psychedelic band. They were much more than that but....
Back story on the name. In the mid-60s and early 70s, LSD was made in liquid form, colored, and stamped into little squares of blotter paper in a design; different manufacturers had different designs. The strawberry alarm clock was a popular brand. ( I looked for a picture on the web, but no luck.)
You have to remember that this song came out in 1967, smack dab in the middle of the Vietnam and the the Civil Rights eras. The younger generations turned their backs on everything their parents, who had fought in WWII and in Korea, had identified with.
The chubby guy playing guitar on the left, Ed King, wrote this song. He went on to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 70s where he wrote most of the guitar riffs in "Sweet Home Alabama".
Definitely acid inspired. At this time the phrase was "turn on, tune in, drop out" which code for take acid... and one of the lines in this song is "Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around".
Love my hippie music. It is Strawberry Alarm Clock. I am an old hippie. I lived in communes and hitched all over the US. Then in 1978 I joined the Air Force. What a contradiction. Lol. I am still a contradiction. I'm an extremely patriotic hippie. And we did drop a to this.
It's Strawberry Alarm Clock. This song was huge in 1967. It's one of my faves.
So good to see younger generation people enjoying my generation's music , far out !
Incense and peppermints were used to cover the smell of pot in the air & on your breath.
With that in mind, listen to Brewer and Shipley: "One Toke Over the Line" !!
You have to lookup, on TH-cam, Lawrence Welk Show, One Toke Over The Line video. It is hilarious. They OBVIOUSLY didn't have any idea what this song was about! He called it "A modern American Hymn"! It is sooooo funny!
Oh hell yeah…
Brewer and Shipley were soooo religious haha
Wow man. Actually pot does nothing for me. It wouldnt even take away the pain in my lower back grrr
And then watch 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'.
You absolutely need to do inagoddadavida
I doubt if they have time to do a 17 minute song on the air.
TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS "CRIMSON AND CLOVER" & "CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION"..CLASSICS..TRUTH!!
Yes that is paisley print in the background. I used to have a pair of paisley pants I wore around the for a few years until I lost them in a house fire. My kids were upset about everything burning except those pants. Both of them said thank God because they were ugly...lol. If I even looked at something similar after that I'd hear "No Mama.

Oh. If y’all are going into this era... Please listen to Buffalo Springfield’s “For What it’s Worth”! Please
YES! And then "Bus Stop" by the Hollies, and "Eight Miles High" by the Byrds... Now they're ready for Crosby Stills and Nash. "Carry On / Questions" or "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" would be my picks.
Definitely
@@klaptongroovemaster I love your suggestions!
Great suggestion!
Yes definitely Buffalo Springfield
You might also like the Turtles or the Association.
Yes! Both please. 🔥
Association. SEVEN lead singers. Talent to burn. Great senses of humour, too. Fantastic songs. Opening act at Monterey Pop Festival, 1967.
Yes! "Along Comes Mary"
@@sourisvoleur4854 I think "Along Comes Mary," by The Association comes closest to matching the vibes you get from listening to this song.
Psychedelic bands are my favorite! Yeah baby! The Moody Blues love them!
This was one of the top songs of the 60s!! Beautiful, melodies and harmonies, and the words were amazing!!!!. We had the best music back then .I feel sorry for the kids of today.

paisley prints and nehru jackets! ah the memories LOL
Yes! ♥️
Yes! I remember that wonderful year when we all dressed exactly like this (in third grade).
RIGHT
It was high school days for me, music and life was really fun. Oh I miss 1967.
@@jwmson7791 ya beat me to the comment, well done.
Psychadelic Rock and Female Friday: Jefferson Airplane (lead singer, Grace Slick) White Rabbit
They were a Glendale CA band and were from the “Canyon” scene with the Byrds, Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, and Mamas and the Papas, they all lived up on Laurel Canyon above Sunset Strip Los Angeles.
And Charles Manson.
The internet says they were from the bay area
Was that before or after Charlie Manson got a hold of Dennis Wilson?
Joni Mitchell, too!
You have to remember how radical and new all these sounds were in the 60’s! This was so daring and different.
Another great songs from 1967, For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield, A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procrum Harem and Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues.

I haven't heard this song in years!!!!! Lol Very much 1967. Peace,.Love and Rock & Roll !!! ✌✌✌🌻🌻
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Love it! One of the signature songs of the 60s.
Tommy James and the Shondells "Crimson and Clover"! Jethro Tull "Aqualung" ! Cream (Eric Clapton played guitar) "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room", "I Feel Free"!
Another band that was similar was the Grass Roots. 'Midnight Confessions' and 'Let's Live for Today' are a few good ones.
I constantly annoyed every dj in town to play Midnight Confession the year it came out. I loved the song so much that I talked myself backstage at the big concert on the Mall on the 4th of July, 1983, When they came to my college the next fall, one of the guitarists remembered me.
For a little psychedelic-er Grass Roots, I'm partial to their song "Feelings". It's always good to see their performance of that song nicely featured in the Doris Day film "With Six You Get Eggroll". (Or, as I always call it, "With Six You Get GrassRoots"!)
7th grade...loved it then, love it still. I play it every now and then...
Ed King the guitarist was fantastic he also played with lynyrd skynyrd. He passed away last year. Rip sir
Guitarist Ed King after leaving Strawberry Alarm Clock would join Lynyrd Skynyrd.. He would write the opening riff to Sweet Home Alabama ... 😁
Ed is underated in Skynyrds history
I never knew that!
@@jamestate5059 ..Exactly , a big part of Skynyrd’s History in the beginning.. he was there when most of Skynyrd’s Greatest hits were written ... a falling out with Ronnie Van Zant caused Ed to leave the band .. King would miss the plane crash ....
And got to remember Ed joined Skynyrd as a bass player and was on bass for the first album then Leon decided to come back
Wow! I've never heard that before. Love it! Long Live Skynyrd.
I would love to see you react to the 1968 song Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells. They were a huge group back in the day!
everyone in that band, especially the bass player...were triiiippin
To me this song really sums up a certain part of the 60s when it comes to music and society.
Tommy James & the Shondells, CRIMSON & CLOVER & CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION. Also, the Charlie Daniels Band Live Version of THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA. Thank you! Love, from the Great State of Oklahoma,
USA 🤍
Yess Crystal Blue Persuasion is my favorite!!
Crimson & clover and Crystal Blue Persuasion are perfect for psychedelic sample! Thanks!
Charlie Daniels band, Devil down to Georgia, is a totally garbage trash song.
Ed King, a Guitarist, Left this group and later joined Lynyrd Skynyrd. He is probably most noted for composing or assisting in composing the music for Sweet Home Alabama.
Want more 60's reactions! Try Tommy James and the Shondell's Crimson and Clover. It has the psychedelic vibes.
The 1st 45 I bought ✌️😍
Crystal Blue Persuasion....!!!
+1 on Crimson and Clover. Please react to the studio version by Tommy James and the Shondells... full-lengrh album version (somewhere just under 5 and a half minutes).
My favorite all time song!!
And don't forget "In-A-Godda-Da-Vida", but it must be the full length version (17 min).
I'm glad you liked this, #1 hit from 1967. 1960s variety shows features the best music artists of all time
What a great choice. Lost classics. Some others you may like are
Donovan-Sunshine Superman
Ides Of March- Vehicle (Plenty of horns Jay)

The Moody Blues are a top band from this era. Check out:
Tuesday Afternoon
Nights in White Satin/Late Lament
They're both epic in their own way.
Moody Blues!!!!!
Omg I love the moody blues
I saw the Moody Blues at the Arizona State Fair in 1995. I have absolutely no idea why I did NOT go and see Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, and Steve Miller Band that SAME YEAR at the fair. Idiot.
nights in white satin will definitely cause an Amber swau
It's Alarmclock❤. Been listening to this since I was 8! Love that 60s vibe.
Used to love this song as a kid. We burnt a lot of incense the reason someone already explained. This song takes me back to a much simpler time.✌️
A much simpler time? Not when you have the Draft Board on your tail.
I had this song on a 45 rpm single. It was huge when I was in my Senior year of high school. '67-'68
One of the most beautiful fadeouts in rock history.
I just dropped in (To see what condition my condition was in) Kenny rogers And the First Edition. Great song that was used in the big Lebowski.
Ahh 60s music and beach surfing movies, what a magical time.
Love this song!! Psychedelic!! This is the first song I watched you guys play and I was hooked!
Eastern influence in this era.....I had a Nehru jacket in junior high. Also had lots of paisley prints, and go go boots. Think “Austin Powers”. One of my favorite psychedelic songs is “ Hardy Gurdy Man” by Donovan. Fun fact...Jimmy Page played guitar on this with a killer solo, John Paul Jones on bass, and John Bonham on drums(they did some sessions work before Led Zeppelin).
I had several Nehrus and a woven shirt from a cannibalistic/headhunter tribe Pops brought back from Vietnam. And yeah, Paisley was THE pattern.
I was 6 when this came out... Amazingly I do remember my mother listening to this. It played in the house. My parents loved music. I inherited that gene...so grateful for that!

"Tomorrow" is another popular one from The Strawberry Alarm Clock." It reached #23 on the Billboard Chart.
My favorite song from my birth year 1967!
Look up the words. It has powerful lyrics.
Incence: burn it to cover up incriminating aroma in the air.
Peppermints: eat it to cover up incriminating aroma in your breath.
Psychedelic times alright! I lived this!! Loved it ...
This is from my era. I was a junior in High School.
Don’t know the backstory but there was a big psychedelic influence
1967 take me back to 17 years old life was GOOD!
Thanks for doing it! I was a teenager during that time. Tommy James and the Shondells had some cool psychedelic songs in the same era. Crystal Blue Persuasion, and Crimson and Clover which was covered very nicely by both Joan Jett and Prince. I like Joan Jett's version a lot.

Great old 60s psychedelic classic. Beginning of the entry into the "Drug" era of the mid to late 1960s. What a time for great music, and other things too.
The Lemon Pipers " Green Tambourine " is an awesome psychedelic song. Listen to the words and see if you know what they are singing about.

Clock, Amber. Strawberry Alarm Clock. They're tripping....
Now you need Jefferson Airplane,White Rabbit.Trippy music isn't complete without it.Alice in wonderland after she dropped a blotter(don't ask)lol
Iconic song of the 60s. Surprised you've never heard of it
Wow! It takes me back! I was born in 1963 and had four older sisters who listened to this music, so I grew up on this!
Yep! 😁...strawberry alarm clock. 👍
You fell head first into 60's psychedelic rock. I was lucky enough to live through this. Bell bottom pants, paisley print shirts, pink or yellow sunglasses. It was an insane time. The summer of 1967 was called the Summer of Love. Lots of good music. Excuse me, " groovy " music. Peace and Love, you two....
Loved them way back in the day. Still do...when I can remember to. Incense and peppermints-you had to be there. 😂🔥🤘🏼❤️
I've ALWAYS loved this song from Strawberry Alarm CLOCK. 😊 You finally found one older than me...almost. 😂
COW BELL!!! Can never have too much!!
🌟Neru Jackets, 🌟Beads, 🌟Shades 👌
Amber - you REALLY need to look up the lyrics! Way, way off!!!
I owned {and rocked} a Neru suit, with Beatles' shoes.
@@xtrememarine169 - You were TOO COOL, I'm sure!! 😎✌
Explore the studio space with that cow bell.
The 60's Hippie Era! All about Peace, Free Love, and Chillin!
This song is associated with a very early Jack Nicholson psychedelic film, 'Psych-Out' taking place in Haight-Ashbury San Francisco around 1967-68'. The film centers around a young, deaf teenage girl being exposed to the psychedelic culture.
"Strawberry Alarm Clock." Not Strawberry Alarm. That was the clothes fashion of the day.
Fun Fact: See that barefooted guy on far left playing guitar? He is Ed King, went on to play for Lynyrd Skynyrd, and either quit or fired in time to NOT die in the plane crash.
Dude I saw this and I remember my momma playin this when I was 8 or 10. And Im pushin 60.....very 60's and 70's....sound.....This is "love and Peace" music.....
"Tomorrow" would be the next hit by them.
Something I noticed that I've never seen before. I've seen drummers as lead singers before. But their drum kit is always where you would expect it, set up in the back, As is the norm. I'm a major music fanatic of the 60's, 70's and 80's. But this is the first and only time I've ever seen the drums front and center. Much Love Rob & Amber
P.S. Tesla - "Love Song"!!!!
You would enjoy the Group Supertramp and the songs Goodbye Stranger or my favorite Long way Home! I'll just say this... Piano, notes that sound like Barry!!! Lol
Here's the backstory: it was the 60s.
Added note: the line in the song 'the color of time' is used as a band name by a high school classmate of mine who has an oldies band in Denton, TX.
There were some weird band names back then. Another one that got air play around here was a band called Bubble Puppy and their song was "Hot Smoke And Sassafras ". Similar to this song.
Randy Seol the guy singing and playing the drums in this video. That was not him actually singing in this video. He was lip singing. The person who actually sang this song was Greg Munford in the studio when they recorded it.
Paisley is the print pattern if I’m not mistaken .. as y’all know Prince liked Paisley Print ...
I was in a band called "The Extortions" back in '67. We won a battle of the bands competition and the prize was to open for SAC as they toured the region. It was a total gas and they were some serious musicians. I learned a lot. They were stunted creatively by their record label who unfortunately only saw them as a psychedelic band. They were much more than that but....
Congratulations! What a great adventure!
Wow man, I was in a band named Knight Walkers. you would have kicked our butts booo hooo for us
Back story on the name. In the mid-60s and early 70s, LSD was made in liquid form, colored, and stamped into little squares of blotter paper in a design; different manufacturers had different designs. The strawberry alarm clock was a popular brand. ( I looked for a picture on the web, but no luck.)
The guitar player, Ed King left this band to Lynyrd Skynyrd. He's the one who wrote sweet home Alabama.
One of the greatest one-hit wonders of all time, this is the epitome of psychedelica and the spirit of those days. Super catchy! Cowbell!
You have to remember that this song came out in 1967, smack dab in the middle of the Vietnam and the the Civil Rights eras. The younger generations turned their backs on everything their parents, who had fought in WWII and in Korea, had identified with.
The chubby guy playing guitar on the left, Ed King, wrote this song. He went on to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 70s where he wrote most of the guitar riffs in "Sweet Home Alabama".
Definitely acid inspired. At this time the phrase was "turn on, tune in, drop out" which code for take acid... and one of the lines in this song is "Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around".
Love my hippie music. It is Strawberry Alarm Clock. I am an old hippie. I lived in communes and hitched all over the US. Then in 1978 I joined the Air Force. What a contradiction. Lol. I am still a contradiction. I'm an extremely patriotic hippie. And we did drop a to this.
