Call From Groovy Tuesday
A subjective playlist based on my three-ish qualifications which would qualify a song as “groovy”:
- The song must include the word “groovy” in the lyrics.
- The song must be from (or close to) the general time that “groovy” was widely used; this mostly commonly includes the 60s and 70s, but I am willing to break this rule if the song is in line with rule 3.
- The song must be “groovy”. Obviously this is incredibly opinionated, but so was Ray Manzarek and no one seemed to mind.
Track list:
- Reach Out of the Darkness – Friend & Lover
- We’ve Got a Groovy Thing Goin’ – Simon & Garfunkel
- Turn Down Day – The Cyrkle
- Salt Lake City – The Beach Boys
- Do You Believe in Magic – The Lovin’ Spoonful
- Wild Thing – The Troggs
- The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) – Simon & Garfunkel
- Somebody Groovy – The Mamas & The Papas
- We Can Fly – The Cowsills
- Sunny South Kensington – Donovan
- Good Thing – Paul Revere & The Raiders
You could add A Groovy Kind of Love by The Mindbenders, Susie Cincinnati by The Beach Boys, A Little Less Conversation by Elvis, Born Cross-eyed by Grateful Dead and kind of late to the game, but Trampled Under Foot by Led Zeppelin.
