True true. In the simple days of our youth. A a little transistor radio could create for sound late at night.  I think my parents had gotten me my radio. And loved that sound of this song opening up. It always made me feel ........

Ulver opened my ears to this song, strange to say the least.

At the age when you change your thinking and find new angles to what was previously set in stone,this was the breakthrough song for me that heralded my transferal to the "IN" music of the time! Always have a fond place in my heart for this and buils me up Buttercup!

I loved falling asleep with this on my transistor radio when I was a kid. No one had this beat. Or the words. Perfect.  Top 100 of all time. Or top 50.

Yep, I had a red trensistor radio back in the 60's. I won it @ my dad's company picnic. I ate a a whole wedge of watermelon, seeds and all! My parents would NEVER have bought me one. I used baby-sitting money to buy batteries for it. Oh if life were as simple as they were in the 60's!

great song!

The first few times I heard this on the radio, I thought it was "I Had Too Much to Drink Last Night".

Great psychedelic hit from this San Fernando Valley-based band. They had many personnel changes, including Kenny Loggins who joined their ranks. Their follow-up 45, Get Me to the World on Time, made the charts too. And the Prunes' Kyrie Eleison, from the Mass in F Minor lp, was part of the soundtrack of "Easy Rider".

The catalogue number of this release came one after Frank Sinatra's Top 10 hit "That's Life" (#0531).

[storrs19]

@wmbrown6 Now that sums up true Top 40 radio.  Frank Sinatra followed by The Electric Prunes.

[jconifer7]

Man, that's awesome! Though it almost sound like he's singing that he had too much to drink instead of dream.

[wmbrown6]

@jconifer7 - It seems like the title was the way it was to get past censors at radio stations that were concerned about their "image."

[batterymaker]

Heh, released the day after I was born!

A psychedelic classic from 1966!
