The story of this song is pretty crazy. That isn’t the guy who sang this. The song started off as an instrumental. But they decided it needed vocals. John Carter wrote some lyrics but the band thought they were dumb and embarrassing so nobody would sing it. A 16 year old friend of the band named Greg Munford just happened to be in the studio that day. So they asked him if he would sing it and obviously he did. Originally this was a “B” side to “The Birdman Of Alkatrash” but DJ’s around Los Angeles started flipping it over and played this song. Strawberry Alarm Clock was just a local indie band in LA but when DJ’s started playing it, the rights were bought by MCA and distributed nationwide and it became number one on the Billboard charts. Because of this song, Ed King the guitar player obtained a development deal with MCA which was exercised when he joined a little band called The One Percent which became Lynyrd Skynyrd.

This gets my vote for the best psychedelic rock song of all time. There is just really nothing like it. The lyrics make no sense and that somehow perfectly expresses the angst of the time, the melody goes from maj to minor and back to maj key, and, perhaps most importantly, the band was sort of one hit wonder from a garage in Los Angeles. I remember the first time I heard it. Loved it when I was 10, and 51 years later, still dig it.

Great music from a great time. The 1960s was an amazing time to grow up in. The music, freedom, innocence, yet respect, being young at a time of change, space travel, TV with 13 channels, but with everything on those channels, AM radio, fun cars, family and on and on. Better times. The more time goes on, the more I think you will agree.

@VintageLPs Жыл бұрын

Yes, t.v. with 13 channels and you didn’t have to pay Spectrum Cable $242 a month.

@SLOBeachboy 9 ай бұрын

@@VintageLPs - Actually unless you lived in a major city like Los Angeles you did not get even 13 channels and the ones you did get were not always very clear. This is because prior to cable TV everyone got TV through an antenna. Often these were the so-called rabbit ears on top of the set, although many houses also had a large antenna on the roof. Anyway, it was around 1966 or so when we finally got our dad to spring for cable TV and I remember it cost $6 a month at the time - the equivalent of about $125 in today’s money. And considering the huge number of channels you can get today for $125 I would say that it’s a much better deal today than it was when I was a kid. By the way, the reason I remember how much cable was back then despite being a child is because there was a lot of debate in the house as to whether or not we should spend that much money for it. Speaking of cable, when my best friend and I were 13 we figured out that by hooking up our home stereo receivers to the cable we could pull in all the cool FM rock station from LA. Apparently back then the cable was simply hooked up to some large analogue antenna somewhere in Los Angeles and so in addition to picking up television signals down there it could also pick up all the LA radio stations.

If I were forced to only listen to one decade for the rest of my life, I'd be fully content with either decade.

You are 100% right! Even the songs that seemed difficult to understand are far superior to whatever people call music these days. I’m 28 years old and can’t understand what most of the modern music is even saying. When I choose to read the lyrics after I can’t hear enough of the words… it gets even worse. Music is supposed to be art. It has become almost completely produced by technology. So now the talent isn’t needed, and people become famous based on their appearance or influence on fans because their voice can be altered so much and instruments aren’t really used anymore. It’s sad. At least we have many years of wonderful music to look back at, from when people worked hard to learn and be passionate about something.

Campbell, to join the second and third brigades of the 101st Airborne Division to go to 'nam, when this song was released. It received a lot of air play during my two week leave. While there were a lot of songs on the charts at the time, this is the one that stands out the most in my memory. Since that time, I have sung it often at dances that have a Karaoke lounge. The crowd loves it. So I must be doing something right.

They thought it was expanding their perceptions, but it was just jumbling their brain connections. I have taste-smell-visual synesthesia -- it's just the way I am; no drugs involved -- so I cannot tell you what the color of time is, but I CAN tell you, for example, what the taste of black pepper or the smell of bitter orange looks like.

Could play this for hours on end and it never would ever get old. Great era for music, bad for society with Vietnam, two major assassinations (MLK and RFK), and social unrest.
