Add to that the stench coming from the nearby gorillas, lovely isn't it ?

I love the Simpson's episode where they poked fun of it. But whether it's your cup of tea or not, it is an attraction.

Originally Posted By danyoung Rocky Raccoon - yup. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - yup. Maxwell's Silver Hammer - nope. I'm gonna have to get on amazon.com and listen to a sample. I've never been really big on lyrics, so I may know the tune and not the words.

For whatever reason Abbey Road just was far more overlooked- and much less air time on radio -- not really a pop radio at that time - ready album -- could be why As for the plant -- I had forgotten about the Simpsons' episode reagrding the plant
