    London greatest city on the planet - before "everything". Grew up in Soho, Chelsea, King's Road. Hampstead, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, George Best, Stamford Bridge, Wembley, Wimbledon. And what really brought it all together was the MUSIC. Manfred Mann, The Stones, Marianne Faithful, The Small Faces, Steve Marriot, The Kinks, Denmark Street and the guitar shops. Could ramble on. But that was the Time Of Our Lives. Hyde Park, Green Park, the Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Lillywhites, the pubs and the pub crawls in Covent Garden, Leicester Sq, Chinatown. Sun seemed to shine everyday. Where is my time machine. Tears in my eyes.

My greatest memory of him is him sitting down with his headphones (the ones we couldn't touch lol) listening to this song with such joy on his face. It's amazing I can see and smell that same moment when I listen to this song.

    This was a really good song by Manfred Mann who realeased this in mid-April 1966. Proper pop song, No.1 in May 1966 and it was brilliant sung by Paul Jones before leaving for a solo career. Pretty Flamingo is a pop classic and it ended up being the 12th best seller of 1966 in the UK.

      Nope, never. It got even better in the 70s with more heavier stuff, and the eighties and nineties were the best. Early two thousands were good. And then after 2010 music just started sucking really bad. There was a lot of really good music and the 60s, even more so in the 70s, and in the 80s 90s and early 2000s we're killing it with rock music. Evan country music was good once we got from the late 90s onto about 2012.

    I share this nostalgia. I was 18 in 1966. Everything shown in the movie was normal then, and we forget how much the quality of life has deteriorated over the decades. And the song itself was so innocent. Everyone then, including me, was innocently looking forward to a better life, a better world. Sadly, it got worse.

Today, people know all the 'processes' but never see the forest from the trees. Thanks to Clinton/Lewinsky and the endless political debates that gave rise to Fox, CNN, MSCBS, we all believe the other 'guy' is our enemy. Be celebrate a 'degenerate' like Bruce/Caitlin Jenner and feel outrage that a 'thieving criminal' was shot after robbing a store owned by an 'immigrant' in Ferguson. Housewife 'franchise', homo's marrrying, rights for homeless, aka hobo's or bums, etc etc etc etc. America has lost 'critical thought' it was destroyed in 'classrooms' being lead by the lower 1/3 intelligent of every college graduating class. We expect the police to wear camera's, something I approve, but don't put camera systems in our class rooms so parents can evaluate the 'people' who are indoctrinated their children.

    I love this track. It's one of the real icons of 60's music that so beautifully portrayed the times we lived in, with all the fashions and general feelings of excitement for the amazing future we'd create for ourselves and pour kids. What a shame there are four tone deaf idiots out there who didn't apprciate this wonderful musical portrait of our long gone youth.

    I'm not a Brit patriot nor historian of fashion, but clearly, during the sixties and seventies, there was a revolution in expression. Don't think it's ever repeated itself so significantly after then.. Mary Quant was a genius and we'll not see expressions illustrated by this fine and elegant lady ever again. Her designs were, art.
    What's this got to do with this music? Look, and think.
