Much obliged, Piss Me Off
SONG: Sunshine Superman
ARTIST: Donovan
ALBUM: Sunshine Superman
(The girl in the video is supposedly the girl that he wanted in the song, obviously.)
Some people cruise with their rap playing, some with their jazz, some with *insert genre here. Well, I cruise with Donovan in my purple '93 Oldsmobile Royal. My friends laugh at me, but hell with em, this is a great song.
Released in 1966. Quirky, fun, and a tad crazy are words that really define this song. Donovan uses many of the normal instruments that are used in about every band, but they just make them sound so odd. Throughout the song, all these instruments blend and mix, pop in and out, and it really keeps your interest. Starts off wonderfully with this wacky bass line and bongo-ish sounding drums, and then the other guitars take the stage. Nobody else but Donovan himself could sing this song, mainy because his vocals are just as trippy as the melody. All the lyrics are saying is pretty much he is the best super hero so the girl he wants will be his. All the rest is up for your own interpretation
A little fact you may want to know about Sunshine Superman is that is was one of the first songs to be classified as physecadelic.
