We stuck out like sore thumbs, but everyone was really cool and it didn't seem to matter that we weren't dressed like all of them. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Just remembered that we even went to the extent of making our own peace sign pendants from thin copper rods and solder in Metal Shop so we might fit in to the crowd. What a fantastic period to have lived in. Quite an eye bulging experience for 3 - 17 year-old guys at the time! Sure wish someone would organize one more love-in just to have the chance to relive that day. Some of them were so high on other drugs they never realized it when the sheets fell off. Will never forget the beautiful girls walking around with nothing but a white sheet wrapped around them. Well, besides rasping our lungs out, it didn't do a thing, but we sure had a great time. So we thought, "What the Heck! Let's try it!". Lyrics and video for the song Mellow Yellow by Donovan - Songfacts.

When we arrived at Golden Gate Park sure enough, all of the hippies were smoking what they called "Mellow Yellow"! We asked one guy what the high was like and he said it just mellowed you out and it was perfectly legal to smoke it.

A little-known cool cover version of "Mellow Yellow" was done by the jazz-soul combo Young Holt Unlimited.General CommentWhen this song first came out we thought it was about smoking the white stuff scraped from the inside of banana peels, too. ' Mellow Yellow ' is a MEIKO song written by Aien P and composed by Melissa P. The famous lyrical reference to an electric banana gave rise to fantastic rumors that smoking banana peels would get you high, though the words were surely intended in a lighthearted humorous fashion, not as a serious revelation. That partying atmosphere, something like a bridge between the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need Is Love" ambience, sticks with the rest of the song, particularly the fadeout. (Though those whispers have sometimes been rumored to have been voiced by Donovan's friend Paul McCartney, actually these were by Donovan.) After a near drum-roll of a turnaround, the song glides into an instrumental break of celebratory partying, with voices whooping it up as a striptease-like brass section takes over the main riff. It was certainly difficult not to sing along with that chorus, too, particularly as it was immediately rejoined by a responsive knowing, nudge-nudge affirmative whisper. Only in 19, perhaps, would that nickname be worn as a badge of honor, but it fit in well with the psychedelic era, when the more outrageous the language and flouting of convention, the better.

What makes this a psychedelic folk-rocker, rather than a sassy jazz tune, is the insistent chorus in which Donovan gleefully announces that they call him Mellow Yellow.

The verses are certainly mighty melodic in a pop folk-rock fashion, with the singer's sly declarations of love for various fantastic women accompanied by only minimal electric guitar and bass.

The big hook in "Mellow Yellow" is not a riff or note, but a jazzy walking beat which carries the instrumental intro until Donovan's usual breathy vocal makes its entrance. Countercultural bliss, of course, did not prohibit commercial success, and "Mellow Yellow" was a very big hit, reaching number two in the U.S. Creatively arranged in a medium swing big band style, this Donovan hit from the 60s works. "Mellow Yellow," in tandem with its predecessor "Sunshine Superman," established Donovan as the ultimate bearer of good vibes at the dawn of the psychedelic era.
