I didn’t know that much about the association, but I was 4 when I heard this song, my bedroom window faced the patio and remembered having bamboo shade around it. I know it’s a stupid thing to remember, but my parents were together and happy, so there you go!

On this day in 1967 {May 28th} the Association performed "Along Comes Mary" on the CBS-TV program 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour’; it was the California sextet’s national TV debut... Almost exactly one year earlier on May 29th, 1966 the song entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #79; six weeks later on July 10th, 1966 it would peak at #7 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 11 weeks... Between 1966 and 1981 the sextet had thirteen Top 100 records; four made the Top 10 with two reaching #1, "Cherish" for 3 weeks in 1966 and "Windy" for 4 weeks in 1967... They just missed having a third #1 record when "Never My Love" peaked at #2* {for 2 weeks} in 1967... Founding member & bassist Brian Cole passed away on August 2nd, 1972 at the young age of 29... May he R.I.P. * The two weeks "Never My Love" was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "The Letter" by the Box Tops...
Love this song especially the vocals. One of the true underrated groups of the 60s .The music they made was timeless.The didnt get the credit they so rightfully deserved.
Sing along if you can Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me And then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes As who is most to blame today And then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality From where she got her name And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers Will make them not the same When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed And flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars And then along comes Mary And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains She left the night before Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them Realize their urgent cry for sight no more When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars And then along comes Mary
Still makes my top ten singles list after all these years. Their first album, from which this was taken, is on the whole excellent. They really were more than just an MOR pop-rock band, especially early on.

Jane Doe , Hi Jane, you are welcome. I remember when I was about 15 I liked the song but because the singer sang so fast I didn't yet at that time know how profound the words were. Some people say it was about a religious awakening and others back then said it was a song about pot. Yes those words are pretty cool, great poetry right up there along with Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Van Morrison.
+jennifur sun , Hi Jennifur Sun. Your name rings a bell for some reason. I mean I've seen your name around. Anyway's flaccid means soft and limp. Flaccid kids? Maybe the composer was on drugs? Edgar Allen Poe wrote his best stuff when he was high on alcohol. I'm sure he wrote some horrible stuff too when he was high on alcohol, but he had the advantage of living before the internet so that when he awoke in the morning, he could keep the good stuff, and throw the horrible stuff in the garbage.
The record was recorded by musicians of The Wrecking Crew not the band. Many people don't know this. The Wrecking Crew were the musicians on hundreds of the big hits. Absolutely great song that brings back memories of my youth. Always loved it.
On this day in 1968 {December 8th} the Association performed "Along Comes Mary" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Two years earlier on May 29th, 1966 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on July 10th, 1966 it peaked at #7 {for 1 week} and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... It was the sextet's debut record on the Top 100; between 1966 and 1981 they had thirteen Top 100 hits, five made the Top 10 with two reaching #1 {"Cherish" for 3 weeks in 1966 and "Windy" for 4 weeks in 1967}...
My mind is reeling! First heard this by the Bloodhound Gang and they just inheriently made it sound dirty but to find The Association made it is crazy!
That the (US) Americans thought they needed The Beatles &c is akin to Franz Schubert thinking that he required the style of (the inferior) Ludwig van Beethoven
This is such a great song. It had to have been difficult to sing -- they really pack the words in there. The Association was one of the greatest groups of all time.
I listened for the mistake at the end bass player Jerry Scheff said he made, but couldn't hear it. Anyone? see: www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2005-04-24-0504240416-story.html

+Tony Harris , I said a religious awakening back in the 60's. That is what we argued about back then. All we had to do is ask the group. Communications were not as great then as they are today. Where did you get ORIGINAL awakenings? Sorry, I just noticed my mistake. I meant RELIGIOUS AWAKENING, NOT ORIGINAL.
Ok my mind is blown right now. I thought this was written by The Bloodhound Gang. I'm listening to a hippie playlist and suddenly this comes on. I thought someone was doing a joke cover of The Bloodhound Gang.. Crazy stuff! Glad I found the original :D
Truth is, the same band that backed them was the same group who also did the music for the Partridge Family. The Wrecking Crew, who were a gang of Super studio musicians who did their music. Look up The Wrecking Crew video here on UA-cam.

Amazing... Blast off... kind of a song... loved this in my youth. If it is indeed Brian Cole on Bass, then please listen carefully - this song is driven by the Bass. Thank you for uploading this version!
One of the BEST yet underappreciated bands of their time.
Absolutely agree
not to mention being clever enough to slip the marijuana reference's past the censors of the day 😂
Agreed. They have been forgotten except by those of us that lived with their music. RIP Terry Kirkman (died today 9-24-23)
This band must hold a record for how many words are jammed into one song.
and high quality lyrics besides
Hell, yeah
Even if I read the lyrics they still go by too fast for me to understand.

they played at my high school in the 60's. we started laughing at them because of their suits. and then they started playing. blew our doors off.
Incredible. I wish I was there!
They played your high school? Awesome ....
Hands down the 60s was the best decade for rock music.

Let's never forget that when this song came out, possession of any amount of weed, even just a seed, was a felony in all fifty states of the US.
The Grateful Dead were busted for a jar of seeds, in San Francisco....
What a bunch of nazi emulating drug law makers back then,friggin two faced back stabbing bastards...
Sing along if you can
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality
From where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains
She left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Thank you for that!
This is by far one of the toughest songs ever to karaoke to
why not?
Thanks Mike for posting the lyrics.
Oh you are soo right! I grew up with this.... and we only knew now my empty cup. That was 60’s rap...LMAO
And when the morning of the warning's passed
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then along comes Mary

I've been listening to this song for 50 years. I just realized that there are handclaps throughout the song
I love this version, but I like the cover Bloodhound Gang did a bit more.

Great song by the late Tandyn Almer. He also had a hand in the writing of the Beach Boys' "Sail On, Sailor."
Love this song, it brings back so many great memories!

Great song. And part of it's appeal was I couldn't understand what words they were singing 85% of the time.
Fun fact, one of the engineers on this album, Gary S. Paxton, is best known as "Skip" in Skip & Flip, as lead vocalist of The Hollywood Argyles, and as a member of Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers.

Forever the consumate hip swinger tune, with perfectly timed hand slaps
Here is the words to ALONG COMES MARY, is it about pot or a RELIGIOUS awakening according to you nice people 40 years ago.
+Tony Harris , I said a religious awakening back in the 60's. That is what we argued about back then. All we had to do is ask the group. Communications were not as great then as they are today. Where did you get ORIGINAL awakenings? Sorry, I just noticed my mistake. I meant RELIGIOUS AWAKENING, NOT ORIGINAL.
IMHO, the greatest of all the songs by The Association
This, or Cherish

As who is most to blame today.....?
Amazing... Blast off... kind of a song... loved this in my youth. If it is indeed Brian Cole on Bass, then please listen carefully - this song is driven by the Bass. Thank you for uploading this version!
Nothing I repeat nothing is going to replace the oldies
This is part of the sound track to my adolescence
perhaps the first cannabis song on 'pop' radio....good tune
Your youthful innocence is showing. Far from the first.
As Steve Winwood of "Traffic' said, "Either light up or leave me alone!"
Love this, bought it when it came out in the UK
Makes me want to smoke a joint ...
I already did!

Up here in Colorado sobriety is so rare that it's just another type of high.

It's one of the most important hit singles of the 1960s. The first rock song to acknowledge the power of marijuana in the counter culture.
this is one song that I cannot remember the lyrics of in one go...
iconic song of the 60s
