50 years ago U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 1 on February 3, 1968.
"Green Tambourine" is a song about busking, written and composed by Paul Leka (who also produced it) and Shelley Pinz. It was the biggest hit by the 1960s Ohio-based rock group The Lemon Pipers, as well as the title track of their debut album, Green Tambourine. The song was one of the first bubblegum pop chart-toppers.
Released toward the end of 1967, it spent 13 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 1 on February 3, 1968, and sold over a million copies. The record remained on the chart for three months. It was also the first U.S. number-one hit for the Buddah label. The Lemon Pipers never repeated this success, though their "Rice Is Nice" and "Jelly Jungle", both also written by Leka and Pinz, made the charts in 1968.

Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vida (LYRICS + FULL SONG)

Thanks SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing the early 1960's classic psychedelic rock tune of Green Tambourine performed by The Lemon Pipers.
I well remember that song which reminds me Inagaddadavida by Iron Butterfly. The band names of the 1970s were certainly interesting.
Psychedelic rock was an interesting sound or more accurately range of sounds which were designed to enhance the experience of LSD, Mescaline, Peyote, marijuana, etc.
Here is the short version of Inagaddadavida :-)

Ah, remember it well as my 'garage band' played it as a part of our second set.
I always thought it had a very mellow sound to it and the lyrics were distinct - something not quite so common in the late sixties.
Thanks for posting this, John and have a great day.
