I moved this from Mellow Yellow (album) to Mellow Yellow, as there was no need for the disambiguated title

I heard that the words "mellow yellow" were inspired by the depressent drug that came out as pills and the color was yellow. So uppers made you active, and downers made you "mellow". So the new drugs/high was called mellow yellow?

Is there any truth to that?

I though I heard it in an interview from Donovan. But it was a long time ago?

When we were kids, the rumor was that it was the high you got from smoking banana peels. Of course, we only believed that when we were very young.

[edit] Bananas in Pyjamas

The Bananas in Pyjamas did a cover of this song for ABC Australia.

[edit] Split with Pye records

The split with Pye records and the subsequent collaberation with Mickie Most was an importantpoint in his career.

Is the "I tidied up my last affair" verse in Bleak City Woman a reference to this?
