Mellow Yellow has been linked to all sorts of strange and wonderful topics - but mostly for the song by Donovan.
For those youngsters in the crowd, don't worry you didn't miss much. But sometimes in the anals of history you find such precious gems as these:
- The song was rumored to be about smoking dried banana skins, which was believed to be a hallucinogenic drug in the 1960s, but this rumor has since been debunked.
- He admitted later the song made reference to a vibrator; an "electrical banana" as mentioned in the lyrics.
- The phrase "mellow yellow" appears on page 719 of the first American edition of Ulysses, where it is used to refer to Mrs. Marion Bloom's buttocks, but it is not known if Donovan got the phrase from there.
Whatever Mellow Yellow means to you none of these have anything to do with this really yellow bunch of flowers. They are definitely not dried bananas, or dildos or even someones buttocks.
They are yellow though! Well mostly.
