On long time ago I realized that the only way this song makes any sense is as an inside trade joke. I am sorry that breaks the spell of all that faux symbolism, but that is what was needed to pull it off in the 60's. Imagine a backroom scene: A: 'It used to be so easy to write a hit, all you had to do is rhyme June, Moon and Spoon and Voila! A Hit.' B: 'Still works' A: 'Sure ... what to you want to bet on it' B: (wager of your choice here) A: 'You're on!' .... 'A' lost the wager as we see.
While I am a BIG Chad and Jeremy fan, their version of this song is ok but definitely is not better than Jonathan King's version which will always be the BEST! And in this C&J version, that VERY annoying background sound that sounds like water dripping from a faucet ruins the song!!! Whose idea was it to put that in this song since it was not needed at all? Too bad since C&J would have sounded even better without the listener being distracted by that irritating noise!
I like the way they used strings, like Buddy did in True Love Ways, etc. Perhaps some of the same session musicians were used and how the heck will we ever know? Are all musicians listed on the albums' credits? The Doors listed all theirs, to my knowledge, on the Soft Parade and others. Great song here! Jeff T.
umust read this.once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
Not only is this song a great one by Chad and Jeremy but the album is filled with beautiful tunes from one end to the other. I love them all. I have the original vinyl but its pretty scratched from endless playing. I need the CD. Such beautiful harmony.
So happy to hear this great cover by C&J ! One of my favorite songs.Perfect song for them.
