Nancy's These Boots Are Made for Walkin' topped the Billboard chart in '66, as did Cherish by the Association. The Association's "Along Comes Mary" was rumored and then confirmed to be about marajuana. Earlier, the song that was also rumored to be about marajuana, but vigorously denied, was "Puff The Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary. |

Donovan's Jennifer Juniper was inspired by Jenny Boyd, sister-in-law of George Harrison.

Oh. Lord, this theme will sound very familiar...
Bob Dylan took part in "We are the world", as did Paul Simon.

James Taylor remade a bunch of songs, including "Up on the roof", first a hit for the Drifters. The Drifters sang about the goings-on under the boardwalk. Goings-on of a likely similar nature under the stadium were the subject of a song (Brown-eyed Girl) by Van Morrison |

Van Morrison had a smash early in 1971 with "Domino", and the word "domino" resurfaced in the lyrics (first verse) of "Walk like an Egyptian" by the Bangles.

The Bangles' first chart hit, Manic Monday, was written by Prince.
