Let me introduce you to a magic song: Sit Down I Think I Love You.
The Mojo Men - Sit Down I Think I Love You
1967
I used to look forward to catching this on oldies radio. There is a variety of elements that come together to make this a nice song.
But it's also a magic song because others have covered it, and each version has qualities. The version from Australian band
The Executives / live,
has been slowly growing on me, with its relaxed, meowing guitar sound. It is similar to The Mojo Men. The song was written by Steven Stills in '66.
Here is the version from Buffalo Springfield. This is good, but (to my ears) is good in spots,
with its relaxing introduction and especially the guitar climax in the middle. And then there's the hard-charging version
from Growing Concern. For something entirely different, there is
the version from The Staccatos. Love that acoustic guitar etc. introduction.
Is this what they call baroque rock?
Canadian band The Staccatos became The Five Man Electrical Band ("Sign. Sign. Everywhere a sign.").
