Song of the Day # 175 Strawberry Alarm Clock

 
Yes of course it's ludicrous. And bandwagon jumping. But it was Number One in the US in 1967. And has a neat sense of melody, atmosphere and chord changes. Also the way it comes on as saying something profound while actually saying nothing at all. It also expresses why it must have been so unbearably exciting to be in the States between 1965 and 1974. At which point I'd have moved to New York until 1977 to hang out at CBGBs
