No big cultural observation here, just sharing a 1967 U.K. hit about my favorite city that was very much of its time. (And very similar to the glorious Beach Boys knockoff "My World Fell Down" from Sagittarius.) Great how the Flower Pot Men have continued to trot this out in identical oldies-package-tour rehashings in 1994 and 2008.PS: Two of the Flower Pot Men, Nick Simper and Jon Lord, went on to join Deep Purple, while singer Tony Burrows had hits a few years later fronting the studio groups Brotherhood of Man ("United We Stand"), the Pipkins ("Gimme Dat Ding"), Edison Lighthouse ("Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes"), and a few years after that, First Class ("Beach Baby"). Quite a c.v.!
