Donovan's follow up single was "Mellow Yellow" rising up the USA charts to peak at USA #2 & peak at UK #8 early in 1967. This "easy-going, sophisticated blues number" was (according to the songwriter himself) not about smoking dried banana skins, which was believed to be a hallucinogenic drug in the 1960s, but a yellow dildo called the mellow yellow! The track features Beatle' Paul McCartney on bass guitar & background crowd noises.

The original manufactured pop group (except due to limitations in studio technology that meant they had to be good in the first place) debut single "Last Train To Clarksville" was a clear Beatles "Day Tripper/Paperback Writer/I Feel Fine" knock off gave the US teen idols a deserved USA #1. The song, written & produced by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart was like the band, deceptively subversive. There is no explicit reference to war in the song, but its last line, "And I don't know if I'm ever coming home," was an indirect reference to a soldier leaving for the Vietnam War. The city of Clarksville, Tennessee, near Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the home of the 101st Airborne Division that was then serving in Vietnam.
