Old lyric masters, I need your help

[havocmom]

60's song about the girl, the park, and what else?

"What did you do there?
We got high.
What did you touch there?
We touched the sky."

is all my feeble brain can recall of it. Havocdad insists there is the name of a park in the song too, and it is something like 'Itcheegoo' but I am positive he is further gone than I am. I figure he has 'The Girl The Park & whatever it is I am forgetting' confused with a Neil Diamond song. :eyes: He also keeps insisting the song was by the Cowslips so ya know he has lost his mind! Even I know the group he is thinking of was the Cowpies, err, ...Cowlicks...um, Cowsills!

So we are both having serious senile attacks today and this is making us more insane than usual. Please help us! We may end up wrestling and making wild bets with possession of the remote next Sunday being the payoff!

1. Itchycoo Park

Itchycoo Park



Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreamin' spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been

What did you do there?
I got high
What did you feel there?
Well I cried
But why the tears there?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be niceand have fun in the sun

Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there?
We'll get high
What will we touch there?
We'll touch the sky
But why the tears then?
I'll tell you why

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
Ha! It's all too beautiful

4. Earworm, thanks :)

[havocmom]

5. Thank you everybody. It's hell losing one's mind!

Now, my earworm is gone. How is yours doing?

6. For the record: I knew the answer to this one too:

It's on Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - Kenney Jones was the drummer on that song!

On edit: It was the Small Faces...

[Kat45]

7. Itchycoo Park - The Small Faces.

I loved that song.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

8. The Cowsills did have a song like that

It was called "The Rain, The Park and Other Things".

So he wasn't too far off.

But the song you're talking about is Itchycoo Park by Small Faces. 1967, 1968 ish.

9. Excuse me - but, how old are you again???? Just kidding.

Please don't tell me that your parents have the album. That would break my heart. :hi:

I know I'm old enough to have a daughter your age, but it's still fun to pretend I don't.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. I don't think they do

But they do own albums from before that.

:D
