[edit] Misc old comments
I was listening to Dr. Demento, I have recorded a show where he covered a number of songs written about coffee and had commented about the son Missippi John Hurt song that he played where John repeats "By the Loovin Spoo-onnfu". I moved the reference toward the top so people would know the origins of the band name..
All of my dears friends and fans of Lovin Spoonful, are you forgot the great solo named "Lonely"? This music is the reason of my interest to play harmonica a long time a go.
- Oh, yes! Another excellent song! The main article should be edited so that a complete chronology of all of the Lovin' Spoonful's songs (and not just their albums) are accurately described here.
[edit] ...but I learned...
Way back in high school, in history of music class, I'd swear we learned that Lovin' Spoonful was a reference to the amount of ejaculate from an average male orgasm.
I couldn't find this exact info on a quick net search, but from the Story about The Lovin' Spoonful page[1] I found the following: "The name Lovin' Spoonful' came from a line in Mississippi John Hurt's song 'Coffee Blues' and had a sexual reference rather than a drug connection, as many believed at the time."
While not definitive, it does lend support to the theory...

[edit] summer in the city
Can't help, I think "Summer in the City" is by the Spencer Davis Group?
- They may have done a live version of it, but "(Hot Town) Summer in the City" is definitely Lovin' Spoonful material. The bluesy riffs, on the other hand, that Spencer Davis Group is famous for, might have given birth to a highly similar song but without more information, it's hard to speculate which one it might be. It probably wouldn't have the mix with traffic noise and honking that the Lovin' Spoonful version has.
[edit] How about a list of 45s in contrast to albums?
The main article could be improved if the discography were edited to list the songs that came out on A-sides or B-sides of 45s, and which came out in LPs or albums.
On the other hand, some record companies released so many combinations of songs on 45s, it might be unnecessarily laborious having to type that much information in. Is this the case for the Lovin' Spoonful?
[edit] The Daydream (song) Wikilink
Seems inaccurate. Is it the same song? Anchoress 05:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
