you got to pick up every stitch!

Haha, that's a good one, too. I was listening to it in the car and I kept thinking my turn signal was on..it had a tapping percussion in it that sounded just like the turn signal...or perhaps it was my imagination..

first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is



the allman bros did it better

yeah season of the witch, sunshine superman and wear your love like heaven and the ones you mentioned are great....some of his 70's stuff is horrid though...and don't get me started on beat cafe

hmm, must be the season of the witch...

Aaaah, I love "There is a Mountain." You've gotta see the video on youtube..I haven't heard the Allman Bros version though...must go find it!

Might I add that I have pants just like the ones he's wearing in the video. I know that makes me awesome beyond all possible reason.

Is he the one who sang WEAR YOUR LOVE LIKE HEAVEN? Love it.

haha that turn signal bit is great



and Get Thy Bearings kicks tushie

Yeah, "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" is great...in fact, it just came on iTunes here...freaky. I also love "Atlantis" and his rendition of "Jabberwocky." And of course there's "Sunshine Superman" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man"...there are so many lovely songs.

I love "Hurdy Gurdy Man."

i love the episode of the simpsons where homer starts smoking pot and wear your love like heaven plays over the montage of him shaving and driving to work.

catch the wind...definitely

"Mountain Jam" was the allman bros most consistant jam. they'd play the song for a half hour or more in concert. you can find recordings of it in some of the concerts released from 70-73.

Leela: But tell us, how could a city with such a ... fabulous airport end up underwater?



Colonel: Ah, now that's a story that can only rightly be told in a Chamber of Commerce video narrated by folk-rock troubadour Donovan.



[He presses a button and Donovan appears on the screen and strums the tune to Atlantis with slightly different lyrics.]



Donovan: [on screen] Atlanta was a city, landlocked,

Hundreds of miles from the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean,

Yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism,

That they moved offshore, becoming an island,

And an even bigger Delta hub,



[On the screen, helicopters lift the city and land it in the ocean. The scene changes to years later. The island is packed with buildings.]

Until the city over-developed and it started to sink,

Knowing their fate, the quality people ran away,

Ted Turner, Hank Aaron, Jeff Foxworthy, the guy who invented Coca-Cola,

The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends,

Though Gods they were,

And also Jane Fonda was there.



[A boat with the people on pulls away and the city sinks.]

The others chose to remain behind,

On their porches with their rifles, and one day evolve into mermaids,

And sing and dance and ring in the new.



Mermaids: [on screen] Hail Atlanta!

Hahaha, that's hilarious. What show is that from?

haha



I forgot about that episode.



"I can't swallow that."

"Well then, good news! It's a suppository."

And thanks steve_swartz for the Allman Bros. info!

Atlantis is my fav. The chorus makes me smile every time

Mhm. I learned the word "antediluvian" from that song, actually...whadya know, learning is everywhere! Haha.

Psh. I'm an idiot. That's from Futurama. I totally missed the names in it...

Haha yeah they used it in an episode of Futurama. That's actually how I first got into Donovan

I love "Epistle to Dippy"

i doooo!

I absolutely love Donovan. I really should pick up a CD of his one of these days...

Also, did you know that Hurdy Gurdy Man has Jimmy Page on guitar? Tis true, I 'eard it on them radios.
