[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Mmmm... maybe 'Incense and Peppermints'

Strawberry Alarm Clock.

[Hugin]

19. I think GPV is talking Country/Western Hippie.

In which case I nominate anything by Slim Whitman.

[datasuspect]

20. in that case i'd have to say gram parsons

or something like that.

[Hugin]

21. I can't say I know Gram Parsons....

Probably a good thing.

[datasuspect]

22. your mileage may vary

gram parsons/flying burrito brothers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BITiY8M_oDo

[guitar man]

51. god, I love Gram Parsons

"She" is my all time favorite of his. Couldn't find the original, but I found this SLAMMIN' cover of it by Norah Jones :wow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37W0W9M6IjQ

[fishwax]

56. have you seen the movie grand theft parsons?

Not likely to win any awards, I suppose, and I don't know how faithful it is to the actual events surrounding Parsons's burial, but I thought it was a pretty good movie about friendship, music, life/death, etc.

Hooray for Gram Parsons :toast:

[datasuspect]

58. haven't seen it

gonna check it out.

[mainegreen]

14. Terrapin Station n/t

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

15. Itchycoo Park

by The Small Faces.

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 nice and 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

:thumbsup:

16. White Bird!

communes, hitchhiking, clear blue skies, a bit o' sunshine :evilgrin:, and no one around for at least 5 miles.

[begin_within]

17. "Incense and Peppermints," which I recently saw performed live.

A band in San Diego called "Cool Fever" features the drummer (Randy Seol) from Strawberry Alarm Clock. He played on the original recording of "Incense and Peppermints." They did a free concert at the Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park in San Diego, and as part of the concert they did "Incense and Peppermints" and Randy sang the lead vocal. It was great.

[Zomby Woof]

38. Trivia

The music was written by Ed King, who played guitar for Strawberry Alarm Clock. He wrote it as an instrumental, but the record company forced them to paste lyrics on it to make it more radio-friendly. King was not happy about it, and years later when he was in Lynyrd Skynyrd, he co-wrote the music to 'Sweet Home Alabama' (he plays the brilliant solo) to "get my money back."

[begin_within]

41. Wow - thanks

"Together we'll stand
Divided we'll fall
Come on now people

Come on, come on
Let's work together
(Now now people)
Because together we will stand
Every boy, every girl and man...."

37. Live and Let Live, by Arthur Lee

Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
It has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
Because he's on my land
And so the story ended
Do you know it oh so well
Well should you need I'll tell you
The end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
And...

Yes I've seen you sitting on the couch
I recognize your artillery
I have seen you many times before
Once when I was an Indian
And I was on my land
Why can't you understand

Served my time
Served it well
You made my soul
A cell...

Write the rules
In the sky
But ask your leaders
Why...
Why...

Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
It has turned into crystal
There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
I guess I'll take my pistol
I've got it in my hand
Because he's on my land
And so the story ended
Do you know it oh so well
Well should you need I'll tell you
The end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
And...

Served my time
Served it well
You made my soul
A cell...

[Zomby Woof]

39. That fucking annoying "Smile on your brother" song

The Youngbloods? The song reminds me of why I hate hippies.

So when I think 'hippies', I prefer "Who Needs The Peace Corps?" by the Mothers of Invention. Hotcha!

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. LOL Actually, I love that song.

[hyphenate]

59. Me too!

:hippie:

But then again, I was in love with Mark Lindsay! Of course, I was still pre-pubescent through the 60s.

[Mythsaje]

71. How could anyone HATE hippies?

Oh, freepers, sure, but they're scum-sucking, baby-eating fanatics.

How anyone HERE could hate hippies I have no idea.

[Katina]

40. Joni Mitchell - Woodstock

naturally! :hippie:

46. Youngbloods - Get Together

Didn't want to put it under the mention above :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daDcEc_ktQk

Youngbloods - Get Together

Love is but a song we sing
fears' the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
or make the angels cry

Though the bird is on the wing
and you may not know why

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
everybody get together
and try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
fading in the grass

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
everybody get together
try to love one another right now

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
everybody get together
try to love one another right now

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
everybody get together
try to love one another right now

If you hear the song I sing
you will understand...listen
You hold the key to love and fear
all in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
Its there at your command

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
Everybody get together
try to love one another right now

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
Everybody get together
try to love one another right now

I said.....

*Come on people now
smile on your brother
Everybody get together
try to love one another right now
right now
right now

Totally .. :D

:hi:

[Jokerman]

47. "Almost Cut My Hair" by CSN&Y (letting my freak flag fly)

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kind of long
I could've said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kind of long
I could've said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it, ... someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car

Well I'm not giving in an inch to fear
çause I've promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it, ... someone

When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather

And I'm goin' to find a space inside to laugh,
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel ...
Like I owe it, ... someone, yeah

[Inchworm]

49. Love this one...

Heres a video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tb4irSs538

:hippie:

[Hugin]

48. "I'd love to buy the world a Coke© and teach it to sing in perfect harmony..."

What? :shrug:

[HERVEPA]

50. Longer Boats (Cat Stevens)

[Rambis]

52. In the summer time: Mungo Jerry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdkcB5fOCSQ

[Jimbo S]

53. Buffalo Springfield

You know the one I'm thinking of - FWIW?

[EFerrari]

65. Yeah! Me, too!

[Dukkha]

54. Freedom Rock!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDk-mg1J9Q

"Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?"
"Yeah man"
"Well turn it up man!"

[anarch]

55. that "Aquarius" song from Hair

also, Joni Mitchell, "Woodstock"

admittedly self-consciously hippy music, but still.

[hyphenate]

57. Get Together

Get Together
The Youngbloods

Love is but a song we sing
And fear’s the way we die.
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry.
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass.
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last.
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand.
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

[Bridget Burke]

60. "Kingdom of Heaven" as performed by the 13th Floor Elevators

Written by Powell St John, I believe. Although "You're Gonna Miss Me" is more hard-rocking--& still sounds pretty good.

Or maybe "Mendocino" by the Sir Douglas Quintet. (Lots of their post-"She's About a Mover" stuff was psycho-delic.)

[SoxFan]

61. "For What It's Worth"

Of course, as a Gen-Xer, my frame of reference is the Muppet Show spoof, with a clueless hunter blasting away like Dick Cheney on a bender.

[TheBaldyMan]

63. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

anything by CCR really, or 60s garage bands, the Kinks, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, etc.

[Tyler Durden]

64. Canned Heat: "On the Road Again."

Quintessential. If you don't know it, you weren't there.

[Myrina]

66. Grateful Dead - Truckin, Cat Stevens - Peace Train

:) Love 'em both!

[Kat45]

67. "Witchi Tai To" by Everything Is Everything (Jim Pepper) is one that comes to mind

Also "Have Another Hit" by Quicksilver and "Keep It Warm" by Flo and Eddie.

Many of the ones some of you have already mentioned are others that I think of as well. And I'd probably vote 'Honorable Mention' to any song with lyrics including the word 'groovy' (or any of its derivations) or 'San Francisco.'

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. "For What It's Worth," no doubt.

:D

[Mendocino]

70. Dear Mr. Fantasy-Traffic

My Green Tambourine-Lemon Pipers
Alice's Restaurant-Arlo Guthrie
Eight Miles High-Byrds
Lay Down(Candles In The Rain)-Melanie

[no name no slogan]

72. "Fun House" by the Stooges

[noel711]

73. Crystral Blue Persuasion
