  • I heard this song in the shoe shop the other day and it sounded like I was in a dream..... Great track

  • Nancy Sinatra was incredibly hot back then ...

  • Phrdoea

  • @MrFredGoldstein You see Freddy. If you want your so called "White privelege" to end in this White established nation, videos like these wouldn't exist. Instead you would have an environment resembling Somalia or Mexihole. Would you feel right at home in that kind of non-White environment?

  • Vanilla Fudge did a version of this.

  • @dac13221 so did primal scream!!!

  • This song is so unique and haunting.....love it, i just heard the primal scream version...itr's cool, but I LOVE this version

  • Lee Hazelwood, what a voice! and such a wonderfull mysterious song.

  • I first heard it with Primal Scream, but never guessed it was by them, Then I found Lee Hazlewood quoted in a Baustelle song(Panico!) so i made some research and I came here. I don't care if you don't care, but I do and thought loosing some secs for this was worth it. Meaning of this comment: go and check that Baustelle song if you're interested.

  • who produced this tune ???

  • psychedelic masterpiece for sure would be interesting if it could be updated with neil diamond and zoey deschanel or something like that.

  • Phaedra, sometimes known as Hippolytus, is a play by Seneca the Younger, telling the story of Phaedra and her taboo love for her stepson Hippolytus. It is an adaptation of Hippolytus

  • Really amazing song; always loved it.

  • Never knew Sinatra sang this tune...Go Figure...I was looking for the original acid head version...Anybody know the name of the group? I also heard it on an eclectic station...Bill kelly's Black Hole OF Rock And Roll FMU 91.1 Sundays from 3:00 until 5:00 (garage rock)...It's all good

  • @DRGONZO714 this version is the original, but Vanilla Fudge did a spooky psychadelic version a year or two later. I think that's what you're looking for.

  • @danielvlee Thank you for replying...According to the playlist on my garage rock station(FMU...91.1) the version I was looking for was by "JOE CHRIST"....???... I can't find any info but It's the best version (guy & chick) I ever heard It really captures the 60's tripping era....chow

  • Just heard this for the first time on KCRW one of my favorite eclectic stations. Thanks for uploading!

  • I like it

  • I heard this played several times on the Art Bell Internet radio show Coast to Coast and I love it! -Ellen

  • I First heard this on The Art Bell radio show Coast to Coast. His show is great, it is on internet radio And he plays excellent Music.  This is only one of my many favorites that he has turned me on to! Also check out Crystal Gayles': Midnight in the Desert- which she wrote for Art Bell and his show! -E

  • sweeeeeeeeeeeet different a bit sad but good very good the 60;s was the shit

  • This song make me miss Art ;(

  • I'm straight every morning, lol.

  • Lee Hazlewood, what a voice, what a songwriter.

  • This is my favorite song of all time.

  • Same here!

  • I just wanted to tell you all that I'm going to open up your gates.

  • I first heard this song on the radio show Coast to Coast am, and I only just discovered the title...lol. Great song, it's catchy and haunting. It's one of those songs that you just have to listen to repeatedly......well at least for me it is. Anyways thanks for uploading!

  • because of this song i used to have a dog and i named her phadera.

  • One of the greatest acid songs of the day

  • Circus Envy's new movie has this song featured in it. It's going to be wicked!

  • Just heard this song today for the first time... awesome beyond words...

  • this song scares the hell out of me..

  • I'm really sorry I didn't start listening to Nancy Sinatra years ago.Always avoided her because of Frank(a real waste of space) these boots was allright but this is classic. Helps of fourse to work with the genius Lee Hazelwood

  • this songs is really crazy... specially at the end.... 0.0 great song still...

  • This is such a great drug-addled song, but if you want the bwst ever version, check out Thin White Rope's version. Ferocious.

  • I to have heard of phaedra the greek goddess but dont know the story or what the song is about ? any insight

  • Is this song about Drugz?

  • PURE

  • good song to listen to in a rainy day

  • this song is good. it made me laugh the first time i heard it. idk y

  • Slowdive did a goo cover of this song.But I think this version is the best.

  • He is?

  • great song. If you can listen to Vanilla Fudge's version. Pure 1960's phsycadelic stuff......those were the days.....

  • I kicked a shadow persons ass while listening to this song.

    Kicked it's ass good too !

  • The radio show Coast to Coast AM, with George Noory and Art Bell, plays this tune sometimes as bumper music for commercial breaks. That's where I first heard it. I don't know what it's about, but it sounds good while listening to Coast to Coast late on a quiet night.

  • @1975saigon -yes thats why i am here.i love this song.

  • Art Bell had great bumper music

    Giorgio Moroder - chase

    Ian Gham - hold on ...those were good too

  • Slowdive does a fantastic cover of this song. I actually heard it first. They did a great job.

  • this song has always made perfect sense to me,supose yu gotta be there

  • Haven't heard this since I was 16! Still love it. But no, it doesn't make sense at all!

  • IMO this is the BEST version -- and yet somehow one of the least popular? oh well. great song and great version, not a fan of the newer harder sour covers from various artists. doesn't quite slide down your throat like this does. or should i say ears?

  • Will someone PLEASE tell me what this song is about?

    It's an awesome song, but it makes absolutely no sense to me.

    I know about the Greek mythological story of Phaedra and Hippolytus, but the song lyrics don't match up with the story AT ALL!

    What's up with that?

  • Haunting..............

  • Everything Lee Hazlewood recorded is so good!

  • This song is timeless. Holds the key to time and space.. The Doctor

  • First time I've heard the original.

    It is a brilliant song, but everyone should check out the Primal Scream cover (featuring Kate Moss) if you haven't heard it

  • This song is so haunting and that is what make so good.

  • Thanks for posting! We played this song at the funeral of my dad in May 2001

  • This was the flip side of "These Boots are Made for Walking" on the 45 vinyl. My sister who was much older had it. I remember thinking it was such a neat song.

  • I literally cannot remember the first time I heard this song. I actually heard it in-utero and have throughout my life.

  • Kinda weird how upon getting here the # of views was my birthdate! I loved this song since I 1st heard the orchestral beginning and the strange mashing of 2 strangely-related songs. Kinda reminds me of "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles.

  • Very haunting and beautiful. Heard it on A Charlie Brown Kwanza and had to find it. Thanks.

  • This song was a favorite of mine. Thanks for posting it
