Strawberry Alarm Clock - Good Morning Starshine Lyrics

Strawberry Alarm Clock was capable of much better music than this.

This song is the musical equivalent of the politics of Marianne Williamson

That was the shittest cover I’ve heard

shit on your face and in your ears then

Willy Wonka

This is the first time I've heard The Strawberry Alarm Clock's rendition.
I remember hearing Oliver's top single on the radio when I was 9 1/2.
I'm sure it was covered by a number of artists.
Regardless of who recorded it first, it's a classic.

I do remember this version before Oliver's. Had this song going through my head while in the summer of '69 while in army basic training (no radios allowed). Hate to say it, but I do prefer Oliver's version.

I`ll take Oliver Swofford`s version over this any day IMO.

Great stuff! Love 60's music! ✌💗🍀🌹

i have this cd its a great one love this version

Oliver did a better version of this song.

Is that Chucky in the middle of the album cover?

That's Ed Fuckin' King

Good version here. Sounds like The Association.

This song was best done by Spanky and Our Gang despite who wrote it!

I don't know where you live but in Cincinnati this version of good morning starshine  was on the top 10 on the radio at least a year before the Oliver version. As far as I always knew, the Strawberry Alarm Clock did this song first.

A woman sang this song too not a recent artist but someone from 45+ years ago.

They both hit the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time in May 1969. It might have gotten local airplay ahead of that.

As bad as this song totally sucks (even the band hated it) this arrangement makes it even worse.
Their producers should have been maimed for this.

This is the song to listen while drinking your first cup of coffee.

WHAT THE FUCK. In the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the FIRST thing willy wonka says when greeting everyone is "Goodmorning Starshine, the earth says hello!" I'm literally mindfucked. Like what the actual fuck?!

Its an old song....

+Roswell Night "what the actual fuck." I love it.

I'll have to remember that one, LOL!

That one line made me love the movie

I knew of this group because of Austin Powers

love your parents

This is the first rendition I ever heard of this song in 1969.I quickly learned that it came from the musical Hair.I have heard many other people sing it since,but I always remembered this version.

this is the only song I dont like off this album... it's the only one that could be considered a pop tune while the rest are spaced out garage rock.  I have the original pressing from the 60's which features this group portrait with the fractal pattern over it in full colour on the back cover.  the front cover has a picture of the band standing in a post apocalyptic wasteland.

I agree with you, man. I've listened to the rest of this album myself and compared to this it is loads better. Not to mention this one doesn't fit on the album at all, style-wise, and they were forced to write a hit (even though the album still commercially failed). The only reason I uploaded this was because the only other version on YouTube was 240p and had the intro to "Paint It, Black" on it for some reason.

@McObscurities exactly.  thanks for the reply!

Thank you for that, man! I like the faster pace of this version, and it's a nostalgic Friday tonight. I had some good fun with this tune playing!

You don't like the "gliddy glub gloopy" and "tooby ooby walla" bits? Well that's disappointing
