With Flowers In Their Hair
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones
Fleetwood Mac and Tom Jones
The Who and Chubby Checker
Reggae music by Desmond Dekker.
Procul Harem's Whiter Shade of Pale
Johnny Cash singing in San Quentin Jail
Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band
Mods and Rockers clashing on the sand.
Hippies with flowers in their hair
I got you Babe by Sonny and Cher
Sandie Shaw in her bare feet
The Kinks were down on Dead End Street.
Michael Caine was Alfie and a soldier in Zulu
A Eurovision entry was sung by bubbly Lulu
And where on earth was Itchycoo Park?
Oh Pretty Woman sang Orbison in glasses so dark.
So did the sixties fill you full of passion?
Were you a dedicated follower of fashion?
A much missed decade of creativity and fun
Replaced sadly by Hoodies, Knives, and the Gun.
