--- Quote from: smellykellyjay on March 03, 2008, 05:26:23 am ---My favorite line from this song is in the stage and movie versions but not the Cowsills'. . .
They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah, I adore it
Hallelujah, Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
I read somewhere that this part was controversial, which is why the Cowsills left it out of their version. Since their mother was part of the group, I reckon maybe she had something against the line too. You know, not wanting her kids singing about her not loving them and all.
Somebody did a great remix of the 5th Dimension version of this back in the mid 90s. My most favoritest of theirs is "One Less Bell to Answer."

I remember that verse, and only now just realize it is NOT in the Cowsills version....its in the version I have on the soundtrack....and I love those words too.....
I haven't seen the movie.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE.....Peter, Paul and Mary
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Gone to young girls, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young men gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone to soldiers, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
And where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, a long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
And where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, every one!
When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn

Well, why come you still sitting at your computer, girlene? Go rent it and watch it so we can talk on something besides the latest dirty gossip!

Hey, Jack. Do you take requests? If so, let's have the Yardbirds' "For Your Love," Max Frost and the Troopers' "Shape of Things to Come," and some Mamas and Papas!
