Manfred's version totally misses the absurd point(lessness) of this song. Simon wrote it for fun, not for a hack to add to his career of covering other people's hits.
@meltingmedia To be fair to Manfred Mann I doubt they had much say , most groups apart from The Beatles & The Stones had little say in what they recorded back in the 1960's
patubo love that this up, thank you, been searching for a long time, but still think Manfred's version blows this away . . . john simon shouldn't sing! 11 months ago

Sorry but I disagree. This is THE best version. And the piano at the end is great. Wish I could get more info on the pianist. Any links or is it Jon Simon himself?
i love this album! I thought I was the only one i knew who ..knew about it. I stumbled upon it while googling things a couple of years ago and just recently started listening to it again.
still have this on a vinyl compilation part of the rock machine turns you on series from 1968 or round about

The keyboard melody sounds like the Soupy Sales Theme Song!
