The Lovin' Spoonful-POW

[paperboxcutter]

I was riding around in a car with a guy who knew Zal. 1968 in NYC. He saw Zal walking and offered to give him a ride, which was up town. I remember Zal was wearing a oversized heavy sweater, and was a nice guy.

Does anybody know where you can find a transcription of the lyrics?

@raywallaceforhire

Lovin' Spoonful were so undeerated!The late Zal Yanofsky was an awesome guitarist and overall musician!

...and I ran out the door flambeau.

[narcoleptus]

Happy music!

Got a couple of the above albums and a song book.

I seen John Sebastian live at the Isle of Wight 1970, unless I was hallucinating Zal, the lovin spoonful Guitarist was in the audience and his friends wanted him to join John Sebastian on stage, but don't remember it happening tho.

@narcoleptus this was a good flip side the way the songbooks came out in the us one had a white cover with color pictures of them on stage the other had a fake old time photo of them dressed up in old clothes there is also a john sebastian songbook that has some lovin spoonful songs

[PixieDust19962]

This is a really cute song from a really cute band!!

[pockypurse]

:c I've been trying to find the mp3 of this and so far no luck.

[AcidDroog]

one of their best songs!

[jfulbright]

God, I love this song!

"I've always been the guy with his finger up his nose when the passport picture gets taken."

That's hilarious!

[Vazmusic]

I have not heard that in ages! Great track .

[scallywag86]

classic song...I`ve been looking everywhere for even just the title. Got hooked on Whats up tiger lily....

[monkeylad44]

I seriously LOVE this band for this, one of my all time favorite songs.

What's Up Tiger Lily was also an extremely funny movie, go find it!

[wilcojoe13]

So true MonkeyLad, I came here to listen to it cause I always loved it from 'Tiger Lilly'

[monkeylad44]

Wow, Youtube fixed it's message sending system.

Everything sends on time and such! Finally, lol

[spacepatrolman]

In their prime they could blow any group off the stage [notice steve is wearing a motorcycle helmet on the cover one of their songbooks mentioned he was a speed demon,he was injured in a motorcycle accident ] .

[monkeylad44]

Darn, why do all the good bands always hafta end up with one or more members in accidents!?

Wonder if they still do anything today...

[spacepatrolman]

yes they still perform but without john sebastian he went solo

[monkeylad44]

Ah I see.

[spacepatrolman]

At some point john sebastians brother was in the group [ he co wrote summer in the city ] then jerry yesters brother jim was in the group .

[monkeylad44]

Whoa, you sure know your Lovin' Spoonful trivia, haha.

I gotta look into more of their stuff, I really ain't heard much.

[spacepatrolman]

When you go to new york city go to mannys music store on 48th street and see a picture of the lovin spoonful on the wall and go to the song writers hall of fame at 42nd street and see the plaque of john sebastion on the wall with the likes of hoegy carmichael ,burt bacharach and brian wilson [two of the best tourist attractions in new york for music fans like you and me

[monkeylad44]

Lol, doubt I'll ever make it to new york, or want to go, but if i do, i'll check it out, haha

[vindogg21]

[monkeylad44]
