This is one of those pop songs I missed out on by being over in the Vietnam theater of action that year. Didn’t find out about it until I returned. Hard to imagine such today.

Rick,
I know exactly what you mean though my experience away was far different than yours. I remember coming home from Africa and trying to catch up-never did I don’t think.

JB: “We had no way of knowing what a nice long shelf life some of that material was gonna have. At the time, we were certainly aiming only for the next few months. That’s really what we were trying for, a Top Ten record right now, right then. Everything else is unexpected.”
This song started The whole New Vaudeville Bandwagon in the late 1960s of which Sgt. Pepper was the most well known example. This song influenced the Beatles, as John Lennon’s jukebox included both this and “Do You Believe In Magic?.” This song was a major influence on Paul McCartney’s Beatles composition “Good Day Sunshine.”

sblake,
I knew nothing about this being the start of a new genre of music, but I can see with by the songs you’ve listed. I just knew this song was light and wonderful.
