"Green-Tinted Sixties Mind" is a Mr. Big song that can be found as the third track of the album Lean into It (1991) and the B-side for To Be With You. Written by Paul Gilbert (guitarist) and characterizing a sexy video, the song starts off with a great showcase of the guitarist virtuoso. The lyrics talk about an old-fashioned girl, whose mind could have at least sixty, but as the song goes, Eric Martin carries the pretty melody with an energizing voice. Another highlight is the solo featuring an odd 5/8 time signature increased.
