Xavier from Plantation, FlMy all-time favorite childhood song. always thought he was the cutest member of the band. just wonder why mark looks the way he does in both videos, like he hates the song. i have seen two vidoes of the song and he does not look happy to sing it in either video.

No underlying psychedelic meaning, no mushrooms or any other vegetables involved at all.
