  • The audience was very, very clean cut; no hippies?

    This song always make me feel sad.

  • @surfstomp Interesting observation! Apparently, the hippie movement hadn't taken hold yet in England in 1965. Either that... or the BBC had a strict dress code for their televised concert series. Peter, Paul, and Mary seem more conservatively dressed here as well.

  • Thank you , wonderful song.To answer the question, no hippies? I am 59 and I lived through this period of time.Hippies did not really come into public light until after 1965 when this was recorded on BBC.We still had imagination and it is sad as it is a farewell to childhood.I have smoked the weed or mary jane or whatever but it is not about that.It is about the Magic of the childhood imagination.I hope we can all rekindle it! Thank you once again.Much Joy.X

  • the best forever !

  • @shutdowns94 yeah but 10 years later jackie took a fucking hit of awesome blotter and saw puff the dragon once again, 10 years after that when jackie was a crackhead he puffed on many dragon heads for his daily dose of rocks.

  • it"s obviously about spliffs but will be forever denied !! great tune.

  • You do realize that they wrote this about my good friend Mary Jane?

  • i'm so glad there's no dislike on this video :D

    SO HAPPY!!!

  • One of my favorites songs when I was a kid, our Aunt would turn up the radio when it came on for us.

  • I grew up singing this song and I thank you for posting this. Brings back memories.

  • During the Vietnam War, cargo planes were converted into gunships by mounting sideways firing miniguns and other weapons; very devastating to ground targets. Anyway, the troops nicknamed the gunships "Puff the Magic Dragon". It is said that Peter, Paul and Mary didn't like that. 

  • It's about Jackie Paper's friend from his imagination, Puff, and then Jackie grows up and the dragon goes away. Not about drugs at all :) although good toking song :P
