[thisboy1964]

I still have the record album! Just a great song; thanks for posting!

[raceching]

Brilliant. From a band whose lead singer was considered to be in the same mould as Brian Wilson.

[toxicgirligirl]

IF U LUV THIS SONG THUMBS ME UP (OR U DONT TRULY LOVE THIS SONG)

[Randyicdl]

this is an awesome song, I can see why David Lee Roth covered this song.

[Imiss954]

WSHE in Miami used to play this song in early 80's when South Florida was Heaven on Earth.Lots of drinkin,drugs,older guys with go-fast boats....in Coconut Grove.

[wildhokum]

Pretty song!

[Overeezee1]

Takes me back to the Coconut Grove in Santa Cruz.....if you ever get the chance to go to Monterey bay check it out. Today the bandstand is the foremost venue for bands from the 60's and 70's. Peter Noone calls it his favorite place to perform.

[adewolf]

The Affinity version of this is quite good.

[TheHippieDude]

Its true how nothing matters. I wonder what happened to us... the message of music of today. There Is no point In saying the music today has nothing peaceful,loving as this without pretentiousness. I would just like to know seriously, what happened to us....

[RoyFive]

No one's pitchin' 'cause there ain't no batters.

[stickypatch]

This song really makes you want to go there,the pictures are wonderful,have always loved the Spoonful great Group.Vee.

[Kowalski7791]

Could this song by chance spawned a career for Jack Johnson, sounds like every song he wrote lol

[PixieDust1996]

This song is my fav from them, other than Summer in the City.

[spacepatrolman]

@PixieDust1996 they used the chords over and over on the soundtrack to whats up tiger lily

[geertbarbier]

Their best. I still have the original LP

[wsdasda]

David Lee Roth recorded a version from Crazy from Heat EP just like this really sweet

[sheldrake123]

amazing song. I'm still in high school and recently "discovered" lovin' spoonful. coconut grove is one of my favorites so far.

[ramizana]

[IsaacBassMaster]

@sheldrake123 If you like this, you're sure to lie

"I didn't want to have to do it" another wonderful song :)

[IsaacBassMaster]

@sheldrake123 If you like this, you're sure to like

"I didn't want to have to do it" another wonderful find

[pukenshette]

this is a great song but... i think i like the david lee roth version better. before you roll your eyes give it a listen.

[jkipcount]

@pukenshette I like the original better, but I agree the DLR version is very good, an d he kept the magic in the song. I'm sure a lot of folks will indeed write that off before giving it a listen though. Fans of this song, check out the DLR version too.

[phyllis1753]

aww...this song always brought a tear to my eye. so sweet and beautiful. no one could do it quite like sebastian

[61dodgelancer]

Thanks DesmonJones. Love this song.

I bought the album Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful back in '66 when I was in the Air Force stationed in Montana. I didn't buy a lot of albums back then, but I bought this one.

Rain on the Roof and Nashville Cats were other favorites on this album. A nice variety of musical styles on this album.

What a terrific group they were.

[dddproject]

lovin spoonful sounds like a heroin band

[vynilistic]

David Lee Roth did a version of this song on his "Crazy From The Heat" EP in 1985.

[tracybeale]

thats what i came looking for ,never realised it was a cover....perfect all the same. love this song:)

[npspec34]

YES!

an acoustic version WAS on "What's Up Tiger Lilly" a Woody Allen film in which he took an old B & W Japaneses film and "over-dubbed" it with his own words and Coconut Grove played throughout the movie!

[miketheshanmanmangan]

cocanut grove was never released as a single.the song got strong airplay on progressive rock stations on formats that were called underground musicthese were mainly during the emergence of fm radio while am stations were all still predominan top 40.This is one of john,Zal Steve and joes best song.Also heard it in concert when gerry yester the brother of jim yester from the associatin replaced Zal Yanovsky in the late sixties with the spoonful...mike

[pkappel006]

I remember listening to Beaker Street @ 1:00 AM in the morning while laying in bed in Minnesota, I was only 16 back in 68That was a AM Station but very HI-End, and put out a huge signal coming from St. Louis area

[HumanBozoBoy]

i met john sebastian a few years ago..i thanked him for "coconut grove"..i always loved the atmosphere of this recording...it always nice when u get a chance to thank an artist for something they created that u really enjoyed..i dont bother celebs as a rule but when i feel strongly and its from the heart i'll tell them if the opportunity arises...

[angeloamericano]
