![[UNCUT]"ตุลามรณะ"ย้อนฟังคำทำนาย หมอดูทุกสาย ดวงเมืองร้อน (หมอปลาย ฟองสนาน อ.โอเล่)I คนดังนั่งเคลียร์](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lE5az5VvT9M/mqdefault.jpg)
No one, let me repeat, no one can set a mood like Donovan. A Donovan album on the turntable, a dark room, a lava lamp and a doobie is an S tier evening.
yes thats the atmosphere
Back when I was around 18-19 I found myself having called my parents on the phone by accident in the middle of freaking out, peaking on four hits of blotter acid after a Sisters of Mercy show. Dad picked me up, brought me home, sat me down in front of the stereo and handed me a bamboo pipe. He put on SUNSHINE SUPERMAN and said "You really need to come down proper after a bad trip like that. Let's just listen a while." Gotta say, my dad surprised me that day.
TL;dr: Yessir, 100% tested & proved.
@@BrianSmith-kv3px 4 tabs of blotter acid!?!. Damn
Nothing better!!
Been there! Memories!
is this your first Donovan song? What a one to start with. Need to do Hurdy Gurdy Man next.
Hurdy Gurdy Man is epic!
Atlantis also (Studio version).
First time! Took them forever
Oh yes….I’m my page on guitar and JP Jones on bass. Donovans vibrato in his voice is epic - no FX apart from reverb. Bliss
Sorry for the auto spell…Jimmy Page on guitar on Hurdy Gurdy man
Donovan was billed as the Scottish Dylan in the early on. He was a folk singer who became more psychedelic. This is sort of Donovan goes electric. He has song really strong tunes. He also duets with Alice Cooper on 'Billion Dollar Babies'.
You must do 'Sunshine Superman', 'Mellow Yellow', 'Colors' 'Jennifer Juniper', Hurdy Gurdy Man', and 'Catch the Wind'.
I think the vocal delivery really makes this song.
Both are overrated
Love "Mellow Yellow". Always reminds me of hot Chico summers.
@@BeeBumper Both what?
@@blitztim6416 probably means Donovan and Dylan. Anyone who can say Dylan is overrated doesn’t know Dylan at all.
Hurdy Gurdy Man features Jimmy Page as session guitarist. A few years before Zed Zeppelin
2 chords for 4 minutes and I never get sick of it. The verses are so cryptic that you don't pick up how creepy (and funny) they are for a long time. "When I look in my window / So many people to be" "when I look over my shoulder / What do you think I see / Some other cat looking over / His shoulder at me" are favorites of mine.
Technically it’s a 3 chord song, the chorus has the resolving E chord
I agree! That over the shoulder line pops into my head all the time since 1966.
He's not someone with "get on the first listen" lyrics.
this song sounds like an acid trip.
atlantis
As Andy implies, this song was groundbreaking in 1966. I recommend "Atlantis" by Donovan, although it has a different vibe when compared to "Season of the Witch."
Atlantis is mostly spoken word except the chorus which is awesome. It would be interesting to see how they rate that one. My favorite Donovan song.
If they don’t like the talking verses here, they will hate Atlantis. 😅
Absolutely have to hit that one!! Donavan has several more worth digging into.
@@kjmorley i'm a big Donovan fan, and even *i* hate Atlantis, lol. i think they should do Hurdy Gurdy Man or Colours or Mellow Yellow next.
@@Dr_Bombay I wonder what they’ll think of the reverb (if that’s the correct term) in Hurdy-Gurdy Man? Seems a little distracting when I listen to it now.
Donovan lived in the High Desert of Southern California in the 70's, we would ride our dirt bikes past his house and occasionally stop and talk with him. He was a very cool dude! Loved his music since the 60's,still do!
Back in the day "Sunshine Superman" was the original first time listener song by Donovan for most of the Kids here in the States. It worked as a first time listener song for the Kids in 1966 it should still work for these Boys today. Cheers from the Rock and Roll Past!
Absolutely. "Sunshine Superman" still holds up to this day. It was one of the coolest singles released in a decade of cool singles, and was rightfully a #1 hit in the U.S. In the U.K. it reached #2.
He's the very best at psychedelic folk music.
I saw someone call it "folk metal" recently :)
@@AdamMcGahan What a great title for it..
@Andy: love you man, but I think "hot minute" means a short amount of time.
@@AdamMcGahan Reminds me more of Lour Reed and the Velvet Underground.
Acid Folk❓
📻🤣
Wear your love like heaven. Is a wonderful song.
Donovan is from Glasgow so sometimes you can pick up on his accent. Great song for the season! Should definitely check out more of his work!❤
_Season of the Witch_ has an atmosphere, and it's signature Donovan. Next:
_Sunshine Superman_
_Hurdy Gurdy Man_
_Barabajagal_ (with the Jeff Beck group, people. It jams)
_Atlantis_ (obligatory anthem. maybe a little corny outside your major psychedelic phase, but still worth hearing)
Epistle to Dippy always makes me kinda laugh, so it is my sentimental fave of his.
I always liked his song "Celest"
I wonder how they’d react to Hurdy Gordy Man, I suspect the guys will seize on one thing they don’t like…
Love me some Donovan. This is one of my favorites by him. The verse was supposed to give you a macabre feeling, a bit haunting, and then slap you with that awesome chorus.... Mellow Yellow next. Nothing like a good 60's groove about yellow "electrical bananas"! It's a must!
agreed!
Mellow yellow
STRONGLY AGREE!!!!
Love this song. You guys need to check out the version on "Super Sessions". Al Kooper, Steve Stills and Mike Bloomfield. One of the best guitar driven albums ever.
Yeah, I have that album! Good comment.
I don't think they know who Kooper and Bloomfield are. I noticed when they played BS&T, they picked the more commercial stuff. Bloomfield is amazing as is Kooper. Their loss
Thanks for the heads up Thomas..l..I’ll definitely check it out. I love Stephen stills
Brian Auger also does a great cover.
Better Version with a freakin‘ solo: Brian Auger/Julie Driscoll.
I can't hear Donvan's voice without hearing "Mellow Yellow" in my head.
"Catch the Wind" . . . beautiful early Donovan.
Tear jerker
He has 2 versions, one is from his early, Dylan period that is all acoustic, and there's a second, more well-known version from his electric period. Both are great.
@@avlisk I like the all-acoustic; just Donovan, a guitar and a bass.
I dig Donovan in a dream-like, tripped out way. His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day.
Sunshine Superman next.
I agree. It's similar to when the Beatles tell you they've got a word, "love", to sell you. They mean exactly what they say. And _Sunshine Superman_ should be next.
Jimmy page played guitar on this track. Look it up if ya don't believe me
Quintessential 60’s hippie vibe. Invokes the era of flowers in the hair with a haze of smoke in the air. Cool throwback.
Thank you guys for hitting Donovan! It took you a while but better late than never
If you haven't done Warren Zevon
Please do Werewolves of London
and Excitable Boy
Love that psychedelic folk sound. Mellow yellow next!
I'm just mad about Saffron !!
Quite rightly!
Hey A&A! I love this song. I play it a lot around this time of year (Spooky season is upon us). I admit I'm surprised you guys liked it so much. I thought it would be outside your tastes. I'm glad I was wrong and you guys dug it and vibed out to it. Happy Spooky Season! Peace out. ☮️
🎃😼🧟♂️😁❤️
A great song is a great song. Love Atlantis as well. Donovan is sorely underrated. ✌🌻🌻
I like Andy's defense of the song. BTW, The Beatles were good friends with Donovan. So much so you can hear them going off in the background of Mellow Yellow.
Donovan was with them when they went to India
He ROCKED live. Hail Atlantis!
Love it, thanks for hitting Donovan... 'Sunshine Superman' is one of my all timers but there are at least a dozen or more songs by him that are more than worth your time, the hits speak for themselves...
The Al Kooper/Stephen Stills version of this on the "Super Session" album is the definitive version of this. In particular, the later remix (by Al Kooper) that pulled out the horns that added after the fact in the original Super Session mix. The organ solo in the Kooper version is among the best organ solo ever laid down. Restrained, tight, and just to die for.
While I do enjoy Donovan's original, the Super Session version just knocks me out.
I don't remember this sounding so psychedelic. Definitely great for the season!
My favorite Donovan song.
Might be that you remember the Dr. John version (Blues Brothers 2000)
@@sheilaholmes8455 2nd for me. _Wear Your Love like Heaven_ is definitely my favorite.
We are in the midst of a reappraisal and I feel Donovan is getting a bit lost in the shuffle. For every trending artist, there are un-trending artists. Donovan is so important. Really appreciate your choice to hit him up.
For Halloween, you might want to play what I blast at my front door all day: Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. ;-)
Also for Halliween..."Lil Red Riding Hood "by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, and "I was a Teenage Werewolf " by The Cramps.
At 11:47 Alex say this: "The Beatles were doing cool shit in the 60's too". And Andy responds with: "Yeah - a little more bubble gummy - until it got to like - that little later point".
"Season of the Witch" came out on August 26th, 1966. The Beatles "Revolver" album came out three weeks before this Donovan song - on August 5th, 1966. Revolver had songs such as "Taxman", "Eleanor Rigby", "And Your Bird Can Sing", "I'm Only Sleeping", "Love You To", "Here, There and Everywhere", "For No One", "She Said She Said", "I Want to Tell You", "Got to Get You Into My Life" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" - that were all miles from being "bubble gummy". Their single "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" came out on May 30th 1966. And these following Beatles songs were released in 1965: "Yesterday", "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and "I'm Down" from the summer of 1965. Then "Day Tripper", "We Can Work It Out", "Norwegian Wood", "Nowhere Man", "Think For Yourself", "The Word", "Girl", "I'm Looking Through You" and "In My Life" all from December 3rd, 1965. And there are Beatles songs from pre-1965... that are way more then mere "bubble gum".
You gotta check out "Barabajagal"...Donavan with the Jeff Beck Group. Also...Jimmy Page plays on a lot of Donovan songs from when he was a session musician. Might be him on this one, but definitely him on "Sunshine Superman".
Barabajagal is such a fun and quirky song!
It was Don Brown on electric guitar for this recording, with Lenny Matlin on Keyboards and Bobby Ray on Bass. I think Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were on Sunshine Superman and Hurdy Gurdy Man and contrary to a lot of rumours these were the only two Donovan songs they played on.
On Hurdy Gurdy Man
@@simply_psi hmmmmm I just read quote from Donovan saying Jimmy played on this song.
@@simply_psi Page didn't play on "Hurdy Gurdy Man". That was Alan Parker. Page did play on "Sunshine Superman". On that song, though, the most prominent bass part (i.e., the instrument that opens the song) was a double bass, and that was played by Spike Heatley, one of two acoustic bassists that were used on Donovan songs throughout the sixties (the other being Alexis Korner's double bassist, Danny Thompson). Jones definitely played on "Hurdy Gurdy Man", a song that he also arranged for producer Mickie Most.
Page plays a very cool guitar solo on "Sunshine Superman", but the most distinctive guitar part on that song, the riff that includes a sort of bending bowed-saw sound that functions as the song's main hook, was played by another British session guitarist, Eric Ford. He achieved the effect by moving a DeArmond foot pedal rapidly between the bass and treble settings while sustaining the note.
Have you done Witchy Woman by The Eagles yet? Another good one this spooky season.
. A&A, you’ll love his “Mellow Yellow”, “Sunshine Superman”, and “Hurdy Gurdy Man”!
Love to see your reaction to "Mellow Yellow," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," and "Wear Your Love Like Heaven," which are all hits by Donovan.
Mellow Yellow, Quite Rightly, took me yonks to figure out he was saying that after " They call me mellow yellow ," 💛
"I'm just wild bout Saffrone, Saffrone s wild bout me"
If you didn't hit Warren Zevon's Werewolves Of London, please do. It's a perfect Halloween song.
Both this song and this artist grows on one. The older I've gotten the more relevant, I realize, Donovan is.
One of my favorite songs ever ❤
Hurdy Gurdy man (1968) would be awesome next song from Donovan.. it was very competitive in a prior poll
Donovan is the greatest. Still out there. So many brilliant songs over his long career. "Atlantis" is like "Hey Jude," in that it has a long outro that never overstays its welcome. "Barabajagal" with Jeff Beck is another great one. Terrific guitar player.
BTW Michael Bloomfield, Stephen Stills and Al Kooper put out an album called “Super Sessions“ in 68 which included an electric/jazzy cover version of this song.
Donovan had a bunch of fantastic hits during the 60s. Every single one of them is worth a listen. And I know this is personal, but I think "Telegraph Road" by Dire Straits is also a perfect song for the fall. Very atmospheric, epic and a perfect listen for a dark evening!
They’ve Done it on Patreon. Definitely worth subscribing to their Patreon, there’s literally hundreds of brilliant reactions.
He taught George Harrison and John Lennon how to finger pick acoustic guitar, when they were all in India.
@@John-ux8zj Dang, maybe I should consider that. They did the live version first, as I can see? So they haven't heard the studio cut?
This bring back so many memories, live Donovan 🐇
@@blabla48076
Yeah we hit the live one! How’s the studio one??
Donovan gets little mention these days, but in his day he was as big as you could get, and broke a lot of ground, musically. He was more of an experimental musician than a hitmaker, though, like Bowie, Nillson, or Jeff Beck.
Hurdy Gurdy Man next. I wore out the 45... played it so much... The drums in Hurdy Gurdy Man were the coolest rolls for that time period. I think it's Donovan's best.
Agree. And too many people think that it was John Bonham who played drums on that song. It wasn't. The drums were played by Britain's top session drummer, Clem Cattini (aka England's answer to Hal Blaine). Bonham was a relative unknown who was touring Britain as American singer/songwriter Tim Rose's drummer at the time the song was recorded in London.
I think Jimmy Page played on this as a session musician. Donovan is awesome. 'Hurdy Gurdy Man', 'Colours', 'Universal Soldier', 'Wear Your Love Like Heaven'.... so many great tracks.
Nope. Don Brown played electric guitar on "Season of the Witch".
A common misconception. Alan Parker played on it, as confirmed by Donovan, the producer and Alan himself
@@derkommissar785 I was clearly off on this one. He did play on 'Sunshine Superman'... but I thought his contributions were more than that.
Boys, if you like the Beatles, here's a story. Donovan was with the Beatles when they stayed at the Maharishi's in India studying meditation. Donovan is the guy who taught John Lennon the arpeggio pattern that John later used when they recorded "Dear Prudence" on the White Album.
A&A nails it again -- the chorus! Andy like a frog feeling the transition from verse to chorus -- exactly! I was 12 when this came out, loved it, but to this day could only remember the chorus -- love how the bass goes from its walking line to thumping ostinato in the chorus. This song was perfect in 1966 -- it captured the scene so perfectly, referring to so many things roaming around in those days -- it's both zeitgeist and meta-zeitgeist -- part of the spirit of the times and looking from the outside in at the spirit of the times -- White Rabbit, Strawberry Fields Forever, White Room, Whiter Shade of Pale, Mr. Soul, Dylan, T Rex, the Doors -- looking out the window, getting high, aching for meaning, and letting the trippy music pull you into your psychedelic cocoon.
Mmmmm this song is delicious! I was 6 yrs old when it came out. My cool older cousins played the album for me and i was hooked on the 60's psychedelic sound. Thanks, gents! Your analysis is pretty spot on. It's kinda like a meditation chant.
Donovan had is own unique way of timing and phrasing that made him stand out even then. And yet it was very much of the 60s. He was definitely the poet.
Haven't listened to this in a long time. I'm not a real big Donovan fan. But listening to this song today, really gave me Buffalo Springfield vibes.
I dig these old psychedelic jams. They reached a peak in the long, extended album version by CCR in their cover of "Susie Q." I hope you will get to that one, and it will fit nicely with your Halloween motif, just because anyway I want it.
"I put a spell on you" by Creedence would also fit with Halloween
And Walk On Water.
I can't believe they haven't done Suzie Q yet
If you want to really have your mind blown by '60s acid folk lyrics, Donovan's masterpiece is "There Is A Mountain". Serious ear worm potential there, too.
Donovan was so talented, and so creative, he taught both Georgs Harrison and Eric Clapton his fingers style on the guitar as neither could work out how he did it. He has great songs including Sunshine Superman, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Jennifer Juniper, Mellow Yellow, Barabajagal, Catch the Wind and the ridiculous but amusing Intergalactic Laxative.
I always loved how much the guitar work sounded like what they were doing in San Francisco at the time.
Love the frog analogy. The verses are a slow build to the cathartic chorus. I love the way this song builds and releases over and over.
Donovan songs can be hit or miss, which I know is subjective, but in my opinion, the hits really do stand out. For commercial Donovan, definitely check out "Hurdy Gurdy Man". For a cool psychadellic album track, check out "The Trip" from the Sunshine Superman album.
yeah a ton of his album tracks sound extremely fake and gimmicky, but there's 5-10 bangers in there
Love, The Trip. But then, I am a Donovan fan, so I love them all.
Donovan is a chameleon and hes still making great tunes "I am Shaman" is most recent and solid. If you listened to his top 20 tunes they are all widely different. He was really into mantras so theres alot of repetition in single songs but alot of diversity in his albums as a whole. Hes one of the best all around singer songwriters that kind of got half forgotten over time after the hippie movement.
You must watch the movie "To Die For". It is a great black comedy with Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon, Joaquin Phoenix, etc. This song plays over the closing credit and is absolutely perfect with the scene. I won't say more because it would be spoilers.
I was looking for this comment! I can't hear this song without thinking about it. My favorite Nicole Kidman movie and one of my favorite movies overall amazing acting.
Totally agree! Great movie, but this song really makes it at the end. Creepy, but so satisfying!
More Donovan please! Hurdy Gurdy Man, Atlantis, Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Donovan is my favorite solo songwriter. So happy you are finally reacting to some Dono!
I won a Donovan album from a radio quiz when I was young. It was titled A Gift From A Flower To A Garden part 2 "For The Little Ones" and has some amazing songs on it!
I love this album, particularly “Isle of Islay”. I doubt if it’s their jam however.
LOVE that album!
One aspect of an outstanding, timeless hit is not just instrumental talent, voice or lyrics. it's the vibe the combination imparts to listeners. When I hear this song I recall looking all mellow aNd cool. Makes me wonder whatever became of all the dropouts and dropins. We all got older!
Donovan grows on you. I first heard him as a kid in the 60s, and as a teen in the 70s I was aware of him but he wasn't really my cuppa tea. However his stock has done nothing but rise steadily in my eyes, so that now, 50 years later, he's definitely an indispensable artist.
Others have mentioned Mellow Yellow, Hurdy Gurdy Man, and so forth. Allow me to suggest First There Is A Mountain.
Ye gods I love this song...always just loved Donovan!
I've always loved the bass line during the verse. I know the verses weren't your cup of tea, but when I heard this at the end of high school in '02, I was blown away.
Love Donavan. My fav, of course, is Jennifer Juniper. I called it my song for years.
You haven’t really heard Donavan until you listen to either Hurdy Gurdy Man or Atlantis. Those came out towards the end of his major popularity arc and he was getting a little more experimental and electric. I think HG Man was his last major hit if I remember correctly. But I’ve slept a lot of nights since then so I could be wrong. I went to sleep a lot of nights listening to him back in the 60s when this stuff was just coming out.
Hurry Gurdy Man,Sunshine Superman,Mellow Yellow,to many great songs
The ultimate psychedelic hippie musician. He's still among us ...
My favorite Donavon song is Wear Your Love Like Heaven. I remember it was used in Yardley cosmetics (from London) ads on TV. So 60's!
This brings back so many memories, love Donovan🐇
Next Donovan song should be Sunshine Superman or Mellow Yellow!
Wear your love like heaven and get thy bearings should be the next two IMHO.
Your mileage may vary.
Always great reviews of the music. You guys are spot on!!
Another good version is on the Super Session album with Steve Stills, Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper.
For Halloween, the monster mash!
I recommend Donovan’s song called “Wear Your Love Like Heaven.”
Funny….I like the verses. The way he sings “and it’s straaaaange” on that falling note is just so wonderfully psychedelic and creepy.
For the verses, it’s the words that are important. I think Alex would have a higher opinion of them if he read the lyrics. It’s really trippy.
Exactly !
And I love that you said ‘trippy’. 😁
@@pattyliedel6485 indeed it is! ✌️😎
The first time I heard this I was 12 years old. Can you imagine just how much my 12 year old brain was blown away by this chorus?
My favorite Donovan tune. A+ for me. 🎶
This is such a great oldie and vibe. Thanks guys!
Hurdy Gurdy Man!
If you want more …. sunshine Superman. Donovan is amazing.
Donovan was part of the British Invasion, along with Beatles and Stones. They were all soooo huge, and yet so different.
Great song - also check out Julie Driscoll's version, bettered only the one by Vanilla Fudge: chilling.
So appreciate your take.. Donovan is a must listen to artist . I think he was unique. Hurdy gurdy man. Mellow yellow.
Always loved Sunshine Superman. Donovan at his best!
Agree. Donovan put out a lot of great songs in the '60s, but "Sunshine Superman" tops them all.
@@gregsager2062 Awesome song!
This is the rabbit hole you definitely want to go down. Donovan wrote for or collaborated with many of the biggest names of his era. Some of his biggest fans were legendary musicians in rock.
MELLOW YELLOW was a big radio hit !!
Saw him open for YES at the Oakland Paramount in the mid seventies. A very memorable show. Donovan was absolutely awesome.
This 60s psychedelic vibe brings me right back to my experiences at the local teen club-- trying to look groovy.
Great tune. Check out the Super Session version with Al Kooper and Steven Stills on guitar.
In my opinion Donovan is the best of the folk rockers. This, the Trip and Barabajagal as some of the best songs in the genre.
Thanks "Andy & Alex" for the good music "Season of the witch from Mr. Donovan Leitch! And best greetings from Germany !
I found this record in my grandmother's garage (apparently was my great uncle's who left it there, according to my mother) and ever since bringing it home I've decided I'm going to collect every Donovan record I come across. Honestly, he's everything I want and need in music at any given moment. Love Andy for the way he's always contextualizing the music y'all hit and defends them based on that! It's important! But no worries Alex 😂 Y'all rock, hope you guys hit more from him!!
Keep an eye out for the Reedy River Bootleg, it's unofficial but has some really excellent live songs ✌️
There's a scene in the early Dylan documentary Don't Look Back where Dylan chews Donovan out. After getting along fine for most of the gathering, Dylan is a prick to him because he's pretty sure one of Donovan's friends threw a glass into the street from Dylan's hotel room. And everyone's drunk too. But you also get the sense -- even though everybody's drunk -- Dylan maybe saw him as just a pretty decent imitator. Nowadays everyone, including probably Dylan, would say Donovan's music endures and stands on its own. You can feel Dylan's influence in this song, but it's got this early psych quality combined with a pop economy. That's Donovan -- he was groovy weird and accessible and the same time in a way that The Beatles could be that Dylan never really was (but never really seemed to care to be either).
If you haven't already, be sure to give a listen to his Hurdy Gurdy Man!
Genesis - Abacab, Racals - Good Lovin, Begin the Begin - REM, Up on the Sun - Meat Puppets, Rise Above and Damaged II - Black Flag, Strange - Wire, New Day Rising - Husker Du (original then live version with Dave Grohl on drums) -- just a few of the songs we want on the calendar!
Great reaction guys. This one is S Tier for me! Since it came a year before Velvet Underground's debut, it must have made an impact on Lou Reed and company, dissonant guitars and all. Check out Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan. It's also Psychedelia 101.
Some more psychedelic sound from 1966 with Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" and blow their little minds.
Check out the version from "Super Sessions " with Stephen Stills on guitar.
This right here. Stills, Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield take the song to a sizzling guitar hot funk version! A fave, though I’ll always love Donovan’s original.
I often listen to Donovan on weekend mornings when I'm doodie duty picking up after my dogs. It's even more fun baked.
THIS SONG JUST OOZES COOLNESS✌
must remember, this guy was high a lot. he did an appearance on the Smothers Brothers show and I am still surprised it was broadcast. love this song, and most of his stuff, so thanks!
I guess you guys don't usually do collaborations, but I wish you could make an exception for Donovan doing "Catch the Wind" with Crystal Gayle. It is so f-ing good you won't know what hit you!! It's live. If you don't react to it, at least give it a listen sometime...
oh my god! You finally did Donovan! Please do Sunshine Superman and Mello-Yellow, you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!
