Would you believe a "black" girl from California purchased and loves this wacky album! It is so off & strange but I love it! Is this an official video for the song:?

This is another excellent video by the Dukes, just like the one they did for "The Mole From the Ministry." This is definitely something I should've seen when it was first shown.

One of the greatest drinking songs of all times. My grandfather would have tilted a few to this one. Cheers to Andy and the boys!

As psychedelic as a pint of brown...god bless The Dukes. They were a lark psych band who sounded more authentic and genuinely psychedelic than all those crap California bands in paisley shirts making new wave records with trippy lyrics and raving about Syd Barrett in intereviews while their records sounded like U2 w/ Rickenbackers & Farfisas!

I know that you didn't mean to say that Brian wanted to copy that stuff but it got me thinking, so thanks. Smile was started in 1966, before most of "Village Green" songs were done, certainly before the concept emerged for it. Before "Sgt. Peppers". Before the "national pride" aspect was successfully combined with a kind of musical surrealism. Maybe it's just a convergence of thought of the times by contemporaries who were all ridiculously talented.
