A much covered song that was featured in the film, The Thomas Crown Affair.

One of those songs that Paul McCartney gave to other artists whilst retaining a strong say in how it was interpreted. Number 2 in the UK and 13 on the Billboard top 100 in the US.

Originally a track from “Hair”, but I like this version better.

One of the best stoner songs of all time.

Also, the comments are awesome.

The video has this band as The Deadbeats, one word, but they are listed at Discogs as The Dead Beats, two words. So I don't know.

Debut single. The tracks original title was "Little Greenback", which is slang for a US dollar. However, the single was given the erroneous title "Little Green Bag", which some took to be a "bag of marijuana".

BBC wouldn't play it because because people of Radio Caroline where involved in the production, but it became a hit in other parts of Europe and Australia.

Mod Note: Okay, I'm cheating a bit as this is from '57 but there's no 50s music community.
