I love the pulsating and somewhat metallic sounding bass in this studio recording. Probably my favorite of his, next to Sunshine Superman and that killer harpischord.

yeh its to an old friend of his, those were there nick names they called each other not sure which ones donovans is, but his friend was in the army and donovan offered to pay for him to get out and he did. read the hurdy gurdy man auto bio last month.
dono was a very nice fellow! I read his biography last week. I appreciate his lyrics and his kindness in a carreer filled with arrogant, egotistical sex maniacs! Go on D!
I think the chicks in fur coats was cool back then. They could wear a fur coat and no nutcase was going to throw a bucket of paint on them and scream "you killed fluffy....minks have rights"
Classic Donovan and 60's Hippie Days. Terrific! Genius at work and nicely done here too! Possibly his best work!

looking through all kinds of windows, I can see you had your fun. What a song, ONLY the great Donovan could conjure.
tshot56 - Donovan IS a very nice fellow - and kind too - still! He is very much alive.
Great tune!!!!
"Looking thru crystal spectacles, aah, I can see you had your fun..."
love this ♥
yea! I enjoyed this video thoroughly...the only thing missing is a pooper scooper!
This gem opens my ancient 90min c-cassette mix also with The Move, Pretty Things, Animals etc... So to me it's really 'speciaehllittee"...
Great song.
That early freeze frame startled, then baffled, me.

@lordsonny789 Yep, you're not lying--it's confirmed in his autobiography. Sorry to hear of his passing :(

Speculating to be a Hip or float along quite merrily

Zur Zeit hat sie 5.127 Zuschauer, dank Donovan-Musik.
elevator in the grain hotel - I've heard of grain elevators. Also, he does say girl at one point in the song, so I always thought it was to a girl.
brain hotel
The elevator in the Brain Hotel is a paddock for horse-headed humans.

Page played on some of his songs too.

Yeah....uh....interesting. This would have been a great promo film...if Donovan was involved. oh well.
suuuspicious about in-san-ity- a tribute to masturbation
@inkey2 More Like a bucket of blood man.
In go d wet rust

YeeeeeHa

no way
Interesting, but Donovan could be a bit creepy singing to children wearing his white Jesus robes. Still, a great influence and a captivating voice.
hmm not quite sure about this apart from the music...
