@oldermusiclover =thanks for pointing that out. You're right=great simple tasty creative less is more (like Ringo) drummer that totally serves the song & adds fillips of interest evrywhere. Great, dude..and a sounding even greater in retrospect band. Great vocal harmonies & just aural cotton candy that makes me smile ;^)
I went to high school with these guys down in L.A. in the sixties and have seen them all over ever since. The best Howard ever did this song was at Caesar's Tahoe at Classic Superfest back in 1987. Thanks for posting this quality recording. 'Great job!
all i can say is WOW was tooling around youtube came accross this song and wham took me back to a happier time before uncle sam asked me to join him accross the pond THANKS MAN
@ollieaz Great song ! We have the same Uncle and he believes in equal opportunity for all as he sent me a letter too "Greetings...you are hear by ordered to report " .. I Thank you for your service... your Vet Rep.[ Ret][
"A little ray of sunshine, a little bit of so, and just a touch of magic, you've got the greatest thing since rock-n-roll!" My favorite line in the song. :)
One of the 60's best. It is hard to believe I was listening to this when I was a junior in high school. Love the lyrics and the music too. Thanks for posting their all time best song.
I've always loved this song and always loved the Turtles. They are one of those bands who just emit happiness and love in their songs. Good to see they are still going!
OMG, I haven't heard this song for such a long time .:)) I luv it ! Thank you so much Otaku-san for sharing with us your wonderful music collections. looking forward for more upload..regards from Texas.

いつも選択がディープですよね。初めて聞きました。
お気に入りアルバムに追加させていただきます^^
ラウンドテーブルっていう、かわいい系のバンドが歌ってるのが始めて聞いたので、イメージ違いますが、ママス&パパスやこのひとたちもいいですね!

こんばんわMapandaさん、お気に入りに加えて頂きましてありがとうございます。
いわゆるフォークロック系のサウンドがお好きなんですね。
これはタートルズにとってポップ路線に突入する転機となった曲でして、次の「ハッピートゥゲザー」でそれが一気に開花するのはご存知かと思います。
60otaku3 2 months ago
@60otaku3 このタートルズというグループ自体、初めて聞きました。
でも、「ハッピートゥゲザー」聞いてきました。
個人的には、ザ モンキーズみたいにポップな感じが好きです。
いつもいろいろな紹介、ありがとうございます。

グローリーさん、コメントをありがとうございます!
タートルズ通算3枚目のヒットシングルで、作詞作曲はファンタスティックバギーズの活動でも知られるP.F.スローンとスティーブバリの黄金コンビなのでヒットするべくしてヒットしたという感じですね。
いやいや・・・師匠だなんてとんでもない話ですよ(笑)
