Fair enough.  It's ~The Kinks~  Ape Man  

Houston, we have a problem.  The video didn't load.  Let's try that again.  

 

We can sit in the trees and eat bananas all day.

I'm still up.

Things went wrong today
Bad news came my way
I woke up to find
That I had blew my mind

 

Fifteen cents a word to read
A telegram I didn't need
Says she doesn't care no more
Think I'll throw it on the floor

Got your cable just today
Killed my groove I've got
To say

Now you've gone away, and
How it's sad to say you've gone
I remember what they said
Now I'm going out of my head
Telegram just had to say
You've learned your lesson
All the way

I remember hearing that the inspiration for "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond was JFK"s daughter.

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

I'll 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 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

*looks it up*  I've never heard of this song, and I've never heard of this GROUP.

 

Well nobody knows every song or every group do they?  Take away their first name and add Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart to the band and that's who they became.  It's no Ape Man I will give you that.  But still groovy.

Ok I got it this time.  Itchycoo Park by ~The Small Faces~ was a song that their music label chose to release without asking the band who felt it was too pop ( they were probably right) and that is the image that they were trying to rid themselves of.  The lead singer grew up in England and ran around in cut off shorts where patches of stinging nettles were and got the idea of itching from that experience and wrote this song.

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
There are starts in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy."

~Kansas~   Dust in the Wind.  When I read "all your money won't another minute buy" it popped into my head.
