Donovan - Season of the Witch

[MattsARocknRolla]

@60otaku3 what are you talking about? i said this is crazy ass song. i love this song. reread my message lol?! i never said i disliked it at all and basically said i cant conceive anyone else not liking it... so dont know where you're coming from. i love this song once again

[60otaku3]

I am sorry, MattsARocknRolla-san.

I seem to have deleted your comment by my misunderstanding...

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[Nicole48879]

He's Cute :)

[sydnerxx]

@Nicole48879 LOL he looks like a male version of kristen stewart :$

[BoySidsVicious]

I fucking <3 this song!!!!!



[UglyChristmasSweater]

Had this running through my head yesterday.... saw on a commercial for a movie today when i went to the theaters... started singing... guess I didn't sound too great, lady complained... I got embarrassed... I sang quieter....

[milltown420]

This song is brilliant. Makes me wanna put on a big yellow robe, eat some shrooms, wear a pair of red glitter combat boots and raised my hands in the air. No Lie.

[thedangeroussaint]

Great song, but the album picture makes Donovan look like a (more) manly version of Kristen Stewart

[ambosmiles]

@thedangeroussaint oh my god. so true.

[jalford312]

@thedangeroussaint lol

[yourdad4president]

take some shooms n listen to this song or jus get high as fuck but still a good song sober

[fredfredfang21]

when i hear this song, i picture either mob bosses talking about mob boss stuff, or morgan freeman talking as a third person in a movie

[Ephenay]

heard this on the other guys

[Billstiller23]

Damn this is good...

[baxterdavdj]

sutch a cool song

[TheMackdaddy31]

@l5p4ngl312 It's funny how I found your comment at the exact moment I was going to comment on the ParaNorman trailer.It used this song to such awesome effect!Given the surreal imagery in the trailer,I hope the song is used(at least partially)somewhere in the movie.And the cool thing is that,although I knew this was an oldies song,I never knew who sang it.That's the wonderful thing about Youtube,wouldn't you say?You can find stuff like that out.LOL!

[GRea216]

Unbelievable the power a 1966 song has on the mentality of the 21st century !!!

[PSYCHOHARLEY13]

Classic! thats all PERIOD

[zTheBigFishz]

@l5p4ngl312 Yup...same for me. I'm old enough to remember Donovan on the radio.

[toraktorak]

It's fine more people have heard this song now, that's as good as it can be, we can't change what it was in the 60s yet, as much as we would like.

[DonnaaPinciotti]

@thistleandweedsmusic Holly shit i thought so too. You're talking about the picture right? Creeped me out, awfull....

[victoralexism]

Gran cantante, autor, creador, innovador, pionero, injustamente menospreciado en su época. Muchos creían que sólo hacía baladas y pop, sin embargo, este trabajo y muchos otros lo enmarcan en la psicodelia rock, una vertiente que la mayoría de la gente desconoce........, estamos hablando del año 1966, cuando muy pocos se atrevían a buscar nuevos sonidos y estilos, Donovan lo hizo y ese un gran mérito. Season of the witch es un grande de todos los tiempos

[NoFaceNowThatsAce]

This song and artist deserve more recognition. Thanks to those from paranorman for letting us hear some good music that people don't promote.

[delucss]

donovan deserves more acclaim than* he got

[JeffraeGilham]

its funny how much popularity this song has now, 46 years later, and i bet most people that hear this song have no idea it was made in the 60's

[roflchopper8]

@JeffraeGilham the 60's looking guy helps

[lildancingaga]

I loove this song! :)

[undervenued]

Very Led Zeppelin like.... I love it

[ENJager]

@colonleftbracket Me, pretty good song, can't believe it's nearly 50 years old.

[CarpeFeline93]

love this song, donovan deserves more acclaim then he got

[dinoboyjp123]

Good song.

[hinata7779]

I like this song :)

[60otaku3]

whittingham4665,

I deleted all of your comments and also blocked your account.

Your having replied to me is nothing less than an insult to me.

60otaku3

[KadaverDog3155]

i only knew this song with vanilla fudge and liked it!! never knew donovan sang it too!!! and i love this version better!!!!!

[nwojdak]

when I hear the first beat of this song immediately I know it is:the season of the witch

[trollop19]

When the beat drops I get down!

[1980fridaythe13thfan]

@blackballer21 BURN!(you got no thumbs up haha noob)

[Lindabran]

ahhhhhhh like good wine....this song soooothes the Soul!!!!

[baseball1949]

@TehFoog the song makes the movie better.

[MrCheckersmcgee]

@linkguy2 what is that anyway? a movie or a tv show? i find it weird that it's coming out august 2012, but they're advertising it now

[ncarraway22]

@TehFoog man you were missing out :P

[TheAeroMechanic]

@jaysonsucks3 I wouldn't know, I don't watch that gay shit.

[silly0arse]

There's been some talk about a state funeral for Margaret Thatcher. Distasteful as that is, it should go ahead so long as THIS SONG is the main theme in Westminster Abbey.

[123tarbear]

oh my god!! its kristen stewart!!!!

[LadyBern]

@jaysonsucks3 Ha! He does. Maybe it's just that dumbfounded look, but should feel insulted by this? Him or her for looking like a guy?

[TOOVOOT]

i bought this vinyl record at a flea market for a quarter.....good deal

[Theclassymoustaches2]

I remeber this song from when I was a kid, I use to play it all the time, when I was like 5 or 6 then I lost my dads donovan tape

[NicoleLoveH]

This song man, it's my new favorite.

[cascarrabias30]

@NicoleLoveH

have you heard Hurdy-Gurdy Man?

or Jefferson Airplane's Crown of Creation?

or Grateful Dead's Ripple

or Bob Dylan's It's all right ma...

or...

[ForeverNYChina87]

i love this song :)

[Startrakk989]

@jaysonsucks3 so true...

[Kroatowa]

i heard this in paranorman but i came here because i appreciate the classics :)

[glennrickard323576]

A timeless classic! This and the version sung by 'Vanilla Fudge' are both songs that will never go out of style!

[TheNerdyEnderMan]

greatest song ever IMO

[gmosphere]

This song and Rider's of the Strom are perfect

[cole62800]

love this video

[60otaku3]

Thank you cole62800-san!!

Otaku3 (*^_^)v

[I12bnqr]

Has anybody else here noticed the remarkable similarity between Season of the Witch by Donovan and the intro to the current session of Boardwalk Empire? that music is credited to Brian Jonestown Massacre as "Straight Up and Down". Listen to Donovan's version then check out the Boardwalk Empire intro on Youtube and you tell me they if these songs are not almost identical in chord progression and guitar line.

google Youtube intro Boardwalk Empire

Not that it isn't on theme for the show..

[argustuft666]

@I12bnqr

I thought the same thing

[DaConnoiseur]

this is a great version considering so many people have butchered this song

[stanleyvaughanuk]

i'm going to be honest and say that before i knew donovan at all, and i heard about him through all the bob dylan comments/jokes blah de blah, as a massive bob dylan fan i instantly and subconciously took the opinion that he would be a bit naff, but wow he has some quality songs...

[Starlightdivashena]

I love this song and also it was from Paranorman which i REALLY WANT 2 C!!!!

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

This song is so chill and groovy. <3 

[MsCynthiaHarris]

Love this song ♡ 

[1852aliceliddell]

this picture makes him look like christen stewart

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

You've got to pick up every stitch,

The rabbits running in the ditch,

Beatniks are out to make it rich,

Oh no, must be the season of the witch,

[QueenOfCupcakes]

This song makes me wish I was outside lying in the grass in warm weather. ;o;

[theboss1865]

Creepy song

[HerelAmNot]

I like this better than the super session.

[crystalscythe]

@artfulgoat There is no such thing as "better than the original"!

[Startrakk989]

Makes me wanna punch somebody in slow motion and runaway

[sleepx2]

@TheJaykiller123 oh man! Just what i was thinking! TROLOLOLOL

[candyfrogsarethebest]

Amazingly mindblowing... Definitely didn't think it was that old a song, simply timeless.

[dummditty757575]

@artfulgoat Super Session version sounded decent, but I still prefer the original. Favorite version of it though is still Vanilla Fudge. There version is just trippy.

[JahKnow1Beauty]

now this is real music.

[TheJhook6]

This song makes me wanna drop acid and stare at my wall for 10 hours

[60otaku3]

bruce369able-san,

because your comment was all in garbled characters and was not able to read, I deleted it.

Will you comment once again?

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[eddiemurphyfan100]

@nao1875, アートワークは悪いことではありません。確かに、アートワークは­サージェントペッパーのようなまたはクリムゾンキングの宮殿とし­てよくないですが、それは、まさに悪いことではありません。アー­トワークはアートワークです！

[SarahtheWimpykid]

this song was way ahead of its time

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

this song is the best on acid.....intense man

[60otaku3]

I prefer this original to the Super Session version by Al Kooper and Stephen Stills.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[LadyFernwood]

@60otaku3 - love this version...it has the real history

[MissLittlePeacock]

Amazing :)

[tickedoffnow]

I luv this song XD

[60otaku3]

こんばんわnao1875さん、コメントをありがとうございます­。

 このジャケットアート、好みは人それぞれなのでしょうけど取り立­てて悪い出来栄えだとは思いませんね。

MrMeanTree-san,

If you do not understand Japanese enough, please comment in the language of your country.

I do not unreasonable demands on it.

Otaku3 (^_^)/

[MrMeanTree]

@60otaku3 Awesome! In truth I just wanted a reply! You are awesome good sir!

[Asganoth]

@60otaku3 のでしょうけどはそれを実際に書き込みま­す。

[teatersroad1]

@60otaku3

get over it.

[3EJ3321]

Yep, I went to listen to the full song because of that new movie. :)

[xSPIRITxWOLFx]

@3EJ3321 Supernormal? Thats why I came here!

[Halendor960]

@3EJ3321 The movie was bad, in my opinion.

[3EJ3321]

@Halendor960 True!

[mahj]

Wonderfully relaxing.

[psyborg303]

@Tybyqy the jolly green giant brought me here ♥

[Kravitzlove50]

Such a cool drippy song ^_^

[cookcookish]

If John Lennon had dumped paul and let Donovan in ... There would've been some good music done.

[mcrfreak94]

@cookcookish Lies.

[slowuroll2000]

@cookcookish yeah,pity about all the awful songs the beatles did,they might've made a name for themselves with donovan.....

[101x0x0]

great song

[holysaintspanos]

me chilling in my garden sitting in a cheap plastic chair in my front yard in Arizona. In my boxers during summer drinking a cold can of beer and watching the sprinklers go back and forth in the heat listening to this song.

[60otaku3]

JustARandomShow,

Because your comment had nothing to do with this song, I deleted it.

60otaku3

[harikGod]

I'mnot really into 60's - 70's music but DAMN this song kills!!!

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

@harikGod

maybe you should start getting into the 60s and 70s music....cause it's the best

[doctorwu222]

Groovy album cover.

[dloreck]

Still very cool!

[Sounds4theInfowar]

Worst album cover ever, great song.

BTW: ron paul 2012!!!

[60otaku3]

I do not think that this album cover is the worst.

...Otaku3

[jfoolify]

@Sounds4theInfowar that album cover is amazing! wtf yo.

[MyLakers101]

@Sounds4theInfowar BTW Obama 2012!!! Believe in HOPE!!!

[ToolShedDaddy]

YEAH Ron Paul ! ! ! ! ! !

[dualityofman999]

@Sounds4theInfowar Fuck you & your greedy, rascist, FASCIST, teaparty movement

[notsotopher]

@dualityofman999

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON PAUUUUUUUUUUUUL!

[dualityofman999]

@notsotopher The poor man's Republican vote. The corporations insource the outsourcing too, the only job left is in a wartorn country for you. The poor republican man's self destructive vote. OBAMA 2012.

[princesstamika]

@Sounds4theInfowar I rather like the cover. Very Art Nouveau. Appropriately since a lot of the songs have allusions to nature.

[notsotopher]

@princesstamika

I bet you like Nike, after all shoes made from beaten children paid 5 cents a day is the way to go buddy.

[voice940]

@Sounds4theInfowar Ron Paul For the Win!!!

[poeticreject]

@Sounds4theInfowar

now why you gonna say that and ruin Ron?

[da4kool2aid0killa]

Ha this was on the simpsons

[kemicon]

I like Dylan but... eff Dylan Donovan RULES!!!!

[poeticreject]

@kemicon

well you lost respect super fast

[alabaster77]

I first heard this on The Other Guys. What a kewl tune.

[rmtmiller]

Omg, does he look like Kristen Stewart there????

[CullTheLivingFlower]

That guy in the picture looks like a male version of Kristen Stewart. o.O

[donnypwn]

I was brought here by my parents naming me Donovan....

[AllenandHammond]

wow...love him so much

[rsnyder95]

Haha I heard this on The Other Guys

[Sami42653]

I remember when this tune hit the air waves...excellent song and brings back the times it reflected...great stuff.

[somebodysomething]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8

Your Lack of brain power ammuses Me. Must of takiing u all day to come up with that pathedic insult, what a waste of time :) " Oh i got a goodi nsult this will stick it to him hahahah yea i like that take that somebodysomething " Pffft nice try :)

Abuse of power??

I do not do such a thing here.

...Otaku3

[GabrielNYC1975]

@60otaku3 wf? why are you signing your name? loser.

[60otaku3]

Do not worry about it, GabrielNYC1975-san!

It is mere habit in my comment.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

@somebodysomething You're refusal to use your brain is an abuse of power.

[pcpsex]

Let me set the record straight, although Donovan is know for his kinda 60s Brit pop stuff, he was a very far out dude, his lyrics still hold even truer today. Get the box set like the Peter Pal and Marry song says "but if i really say it , the radio wont play it, unless i slip it between the lines", I even think they dedicate an entire verse to Donovan. Any way may be you should get "a power ring" and you will see whats his crystal visions all about, and remember stay away from the man

[pcpsex]

pushing that codine around, and its real lits real ONE MORE TIME. RIP BIG MOE, D.J. Screw, PimP - C, Steve, PAt, Hawk and Mellowand the rest of the fallen S.U.C. down in Houston, Texas, wish they could have herd that b4 the drank got em, and one more thing, the world still is taking far too much methodrine! Donovan spits mad game son listen up!

[celeocanth]

donovan - justin bieber of his day

[60otaku3]

I do not think so.

He is irrelevant musically to Donovan.

...Otaku3

[legreg82]

Les 34 qui n'aiment pas peuvent aller se faire enculer! bisous à vous d'ailleurs.

[poeticreject]

@celeocanth

how the hell is Donovan anything like a trivial pop star? Donovan wrote most of his music, what he didnt write he conformed it to himself and his persona. Donovan was an artist, you sir or madame need to research somebody before you speak blasphemy

[EssexAggiegrad2011]

@celeocanth Never comapre Donovan to that loser

[hazuinf]

Why is that people these days (on youtube) seem to show off that they were 'brought here' by some kind of tv show. I for one am proud I was brought to this video by my personal taste in music.

[blahblah256678]

@hazuinf Ain't you a saint.

[hazuinf]

@blahblah256678 I wasn't saying I'm a saint, or somehow better than anyone else. I just don't understand why some people seem proud that they were brought here by a movie or a television show or something. Why? I would be more proud that I was brought here by good taste in music. Yes, there are great songs that I've only found out about through television or movies, but I don't put it as a comment as if it's something to be proud of.

[DirtyPlatinumGun]

@hazuinf You should be happy brah. It just means more people are being exposed to good stuff. How would you like it if this song got no attention and the only ones who were here are the hardcore fans? Exactly. Be thankful for these noobs.

[anessone]

@hazuinf the reason why you would be proud is because that tv show or movie helped you listen to this new song so you are giving it props since you wouldnt have heard it if it hadnt been for that. and also if they are listening to this then they are here because in their taste in good music as well. you really think that people will listen to a song they hated

[o0oSN1P3Ro0o]

@hazuinf Why the hell do you think they searched the internet for the song? The TV show didn't make them like it, the TV show introduced them to good music that they hadn't heard before.

[60otaku3]

12345l6789,

Because your comment was including inappropriate words, I deleted it.

60otaku3

[12345l6789]

@60otaku3 inappropriate words? There's no censoring on youtube apart from nudity. I was saying the right things do you not think?

[60otaku3]

I do not think so.

Also whatever that reason, I have the authority to censor or to delete all my video comments.

Please understand it.

...Otaku3

[Chameleonardodavinci]

The Other Guys made good use of this...

[paintsaint10]

i searched this song because i found it on the simpsons

[Mrangryenglishman]

@paintsaint10 lots of did lol

[nhvfjvgbhdfjkvbghka]

i think i heard this song on the other guys ,i was real high at the time tho so................ yeah.........maybe i was trippin

[sam0n0toby]

@nhvfjvgbhdfjkvbghka no you did! thats why im here, also i think its on the simpsons

[StrawberryScream179]

knowone is getting the point that this is an amazing song

[IReallyHateMirrors]

Reminds me of Lisa Simpson

[Sephirothwolf]

I remember this in Blues Brothers 2000 before they get to Queen Mousette's :D a sadly hated film, not as good as the original but still fun.

[Uzzie101]

@jakegrady95 Oh shit, he does!

[subrosali]

@jakegrady95,  OMG...Kristin totally looks like she could be his spawn...lol

[ParisCityGlamour]

@jakegrady95 LMFAO. Oh my god.

[longbongotimee]

@jakegrady95 what the?! i thought the same exact thing the first time i saw the album cover haha

[1982shawn]

Vietnam days

[zerussian007]

"Gator wants his gat back, you punk ass bitch!!!"haha :) this song was in the scene of "The Other Guys". i think it was perfect

[trollagorn]

@zerussian007 lol fail, it's "Gator needs his gat, you punk ass bitch!"

[sonnyburst]

Haunting vocal and haunting lyrics. And again Landy, check the guitar

[sonnyburst]

Jimmy Page on guitar and maybe John paul Jones on bass...
