He was obviously a legend back in those days then? Now for those under 30's like me will class him as wierd lol
The Young Ones is a classic show ( especially loved by students in the early 80's) . I can see how it looks odd if you don't know about the programme. ( you had to be there !) Neil was a hippy who ate lentils and was all for the rights of vegetables....man.
That was Nigel Planers piss taking spoof of a record originally performed seriously by the multi-talented group Traffic in the original psychedelic summer of love 1967.
The songs writer, Dave Mason was later driven (haaha) out of Traffic by the other 3 who had doubts about the record from the start.
Used to lov how they used to have a band suddenly perform in middle of show because they were turned down by bbc comedy department but programme came out of the entertainment department budget.

i cant see it its blank on my comp but is it the hole in my shoe song or the b side hurdy gurdy mushroom man?
Hole in My Shoe was a 60s hit for Traffic, a Steve Winwood 'supergroup' .. Hurdy Gurdy Man was arguably the worst of Donovan's several hits. Check out Sunshine Superman, Catch the Wind (too many onions?), Googoogoobarrabbajaggle (with Jeff Beck) and Mellow Yellow
To me it's a bit like someone of my age not knowing "My Bruvva" or "The Hole". Why do young people of today have no curiosity about anything that came before their memory starts? In fairness Disco, at least you did have enough curiosity to ask about it...
Weirdest song off altime has to be the laughing gnome by David Bowie or Boris is a spider by the who, an old guy at work told me of a pink Floyd song I think about ghosts or something 10 mins of weirdness apparently.
indeed he does, worthy of mention alongside Shakespeare, Blake and Wordsworth ......... hey hey tiddley bum hey .. hy hy hyer ........ (classic lyrics) ....... old mother hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor doggie a bone .. when she bent down the dog came around and he gave her a bone of his own
