“Deasy must have felt very strongly about this composition. Its Dylan-inspired free associations & funky, flower-power aesthetic made just enough loopy sense that Deasy prevailed upon West Coast sunshine popsters the Association to cover it on Insight Out, their third album. The two versions are nearly identical, and it’s not clear whose – the Association’s or the Flower Pot’s – was released first.”
This version’s way, way better than the Association’s, thanks in large part to the (unnamed) drummer.
To my knowledge, the first 15 or so seconds of this song has (surprisingly) eluded the hip-hop world.
