@Tom L.
It was by far the more popular version of the song, but did you know it was a Neil Young original?

Today I learned that the electrical banana in this song was referencing a yellow banana shaped adult toy.
I didn't know that! Over the years I've learned that a number of songs (which I thought were written by the artist whose version I first heard) were written by someone else.
@alleycat I didn't know what "electrical banana" meant in "Mellow Yellow", either.
But I did hear/read someplace that Paul McCartney says the "Quite rightly!" in each refrain. I hadn't known that ether- but now I realize it does sound like him.@Brian W I like "The Planets". I've heard different opinions as to whether or not Holst believed in astrology, though... I wonder what "Pluto" would have sounded like if it had been discovered in his time?
