Misheard Lyrics:
E-lec-a-tric-al banana
Original Lyrics:
I like treacle banana
I spoke to Donovan just 3 years ago and he loves to tell the story of his banana reference. The REAL lyric : " I like treacle banana" The mishering of this song, combined with the already established joke rumor caused Mssrs Country joe McDonald, Chicken Hirsch, Barry melton and the others to tour about the S.F.Bay area in a special banana mobile to encourage the smoking of bananas" But Donovan told us all to our faces that he actually wrote "I like treacle banana".(Brit for overripe ). OK write to him yourself or look it up in one of the many interviews (besides ours). I am shocked you all do not know this story!
