It reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1966 and No. 8 in the UK in early 1967. The song was rumored to be about smoking dried banana skins, which was believed to be a hallucinogenic drug in the 1960s, though this aspect of bananas has since been debunked. According to Donovan's notes, accompanying the album Donovan's Greatest Hits, the rumor that one could get high from smoking dried banana skins was started by Country Joe McDonald in 1966, and Donovan heard the rumor three weeks before "Mellow Yellow" was released as a single.

  • 'Happiness Runs' to Cleveland
    'Happiness runs' to Cleveland By Ron Johnston Donovan, the pop folk singer of the 1960s, appeared to be wearing a “night gown” on the big stage. That was my first “live” look and impression of the troubadour from Scotland from high up in the cheap seats at Cleveland’s Public Hall in October of 1969. With me that school night in the big city were Blamo and Becca. I probably paid for the tickets, because it was my idea in the first place to see Donovan in concert. Blamo was a Heidelberg soccer teammate, and Becca, my fiancee. A couple of years earlier, Donovan had been on tour and was scheduled to perform in northeast Ohio, but a broken leg on the pitch at the University of Toledo spoiled my plans. Not having a car, transportation to Cleveland was initially a priority. In a recent conversation, Blamo mistakenly thought we’d hitchhiked to the concert. But no, I was able to borrow some wheels, thanks to Jim Young. Thing is, I hardly knew Young, who was a year behind me at Heidelberg. We may have been in the same political science class. Anyway, Young was Donovan interacts with fans after a from Sandusky, and he had this white, light-colored concert in Columbus, Ohio, in 1986. Volkswagen that he was willing to lend to me for the evening. I know I didn’t really want to thumb my way to Cleveland. So, hurrah! Jim Young to the rescue! Fortunately, back in high school, I learned how to drive on a standard shift/stick.
