Mellow Yellow
~ Donovan ~

lyrics:

I’m just mad about saffron
A-saffron’s mad about me
I’m-a just mad about saffron
She’s just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

I’m just mad about fourteen
Fourteen’s mad about me
I’m-a just mad about-a fourteen
A-she’s just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Born-a high forever to fly
A-wind-a velocity nil
Born-a high forever to fly
If you want, your cup I will fill

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

So mellow yellow

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call it mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Saffron, yeah
I’m just-a mad about her
I’m-a just-a mad about-a saffron
She’s just mad about me

They call it mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Oh, so yellow…

Written by: Donovan Leitch
Album: Donovan’s Greatest Hits
Released: 1969

I’m just mad about Saffron
Saffron’s mad about me

These lines show infatuation.
“Saffron” could be a real person or just a symbol of someone exotic and exciting.
Saffron is also a rare and colorful spice that turns dishes a bright yellow. That ties into the song’s theme of vibrant, mellow coolness.
Either way, there’s a mutual obsession going on here.

“Donovan’s “Mellow Yellow” dropped in 1966 as a single from his album Mellow Yellow. Known for its quirky vibe and catchy chorus, the song was an instant hit and quickly sparked rumors about its meaning. From sex to drugs to just being laid-back, this track invites plenty of curiosity. That mix of mystery and playfulness is a big part of the song’s meaning.

“While some of the lines seem light and silly, others point to 1960s counterculture and hidden messages about sex toys and fake drug myths.

“Saffron (/ˈsæfrən, -rɒn/) is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the “saffron crocus”. The vivid crimson stigma and styles, called threads, are collected and dried for use mainly as a seasoning and colouring agent in food. The saffron crocus was slowly propagated throughout much of Eurasia and was later brought to parts of North Africa, North America, and Oceania.” (wikipedia)
