Henry Thomas - Lovin' Spoonful

Henery Thomas is probably...the most annoying song in the world, but I'm putting the rest of the album up so I might as well do this one.

Actually this one was always my favorite off this record (followed closely by Coconut Grove). Thanks for posting this record, which I lost years ago!

For the most annoying song in the world, this trumps basically anything that has been recorded over the past, say, 12 years and counting...

Omg Beatles font at the beginning!! That makes this video perfect, The Beatles and the Spoonful are my fav bands :D

I love this song ! One of my all time favorite Spoonful songs. I end up listening to it about four times in a row every time it's on because it's so short of a song. Great music.

Aww, y beat me to it Roldo...LOL, I heartily agree. Tho lesser known, it's on my top 5 Spoonful songs list.. ...

This is my favourite song on the album and in the running for best-loved Spoonful. "Forty pounds of feet 'n' tongue" is an excellant folk-poetry, the harp break is flawless, and the whole tune is a fine early example of John Sebastian's commendable quest to bring respect and popularity to the original Bluesmen.

Also that's neither flute, nor quils, or (as I thought) a Swanee whistle but some very skill whistling into cupped hands.

Wow you're right, that is hard to listen to. It does vaguely sound like they used the same scale on the flute that Thomas uses.

I had a strange dream one night that the group in my high school government class was singing this.
