Mellow Yellow - Donovan (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Mellow Yellow (Donovan, 1966). Live performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-05-28. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Mellow Yellow," written by Donovan Leitch, was Donovan's second release to hit the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart rising to the no. 2 position in 1966 (Whitburn, 2013). A rumor at the time was that the song was about getting high on banana skins by cooking them and inhaling the fumes, which wasn't the case; actually, Donovan stated that generally the song was about being laid back and cool. He also said that he and John Lennon "used to look in the back of newspapers and pull out funny things and they'd end up in songs. So it's [also] about . . . the electrical bananas that were appearing on the scene - which were ladies vibrators" (songfacts, 2023).

Lyrics:
I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
I'm just mad about Fourteen
Fourteen's mad about me
I'm just mad about Fourteen
She's just mad about me
They call me mellow yellow
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
Born high forever to fly
Wind velocity nil
Wanna high forever to fly
If you want your cup our fill
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(So mellow, he's so yellow)
Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
Saffron, yeah
I'm just mad about her
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Oh so yellow, oh so mellow)
