Go girls!

[tomsk]

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Zally said Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south
Denny said Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you
Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
Take me to New York right away
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a catchin' fire
In L.A., you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
Di di di dit dit dit di di di dit, whoa

Aww, thank you. I don't understand the lyrics, but I didn't know any before.

[tomsk]

It's how 'The Mama and the Papas evolved..

[Icey]

Ah - wonderful, thank you.

[tomsk]

you are most welcome...

[Icey]

I suppose the "Spoonful" were the Lovin' Spoonful, no?

[tomsk]

don't know sugar..

[Icey]

Can't think of what or who else they might've meant.

[tomsk]

The secondary meaning of spoonful - that is, the rough amount of male ejaculate - gave The Lovin' Spoonful their name. " From blueslyrics

that's vile Icey...

[Icey]

OMG! That's terrible. How could they be so foul?

Gross music as well.

YOU BROUGHT IT UP...

[Icey]

YOU said what the name represented, not me. : (

[tomsk]

sex mad so you are!

[Icey]

Re-read, Watson! I was innocently talking about a band which was called The loving' Spoonful. YOU lowered the tone! I had no idea that the name was connected to anything .... sexual.

[tomsk]

[Icey]

I'm perfectly normal, thank you. You'd like my array of whips!

I can't get any sound to that video! Puh.

[tomsk]

enjoy the visuals then..

[Icey]

LOL - this time, there was sound. No idea what happened before, as the speakers were on and weren't turned down!??

Anyway, it seems a weird song to me. Don't know if I could've got into that.

[tomsk]

I may still have that on single vinyl..
