I believe the "whispering voice" is supposed to be Macca.

I believe the "whispering voice" is supposed to be Macca. Thanks Xpt, "quite rightly", hehe. ;D Of course the song was supposed to be about getting high from the dried scrapings of banana peels, hence "mellow yellow". Uh, yeah...right.. That didn't stop many from trying, maybe Chiquita leaked that rumor. The lyrics, and you can look at a thesaurus for meanings of mellow and yellow and start your imagination going of course. "quite rightly"? Donovan Mellow Yellow I'm just mad about Saffron Saffron's mad about me I'm just mad about Saffron She's just mad about me {Refrain} 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 just mad about Fourteen She's just mad about me {Refrain} Born high forever to fly Wind velocity nil Wanna high forever to fly If you want your cup our fill {Refrain} (So mellow, he's so 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 mad about her I'm just mad about Saffron She's just mad about me {Refrain} (Oh so yellow, oh so mellow)

the song was banned on many radio stations because it was believed to be about abortion. I've never been able to figure out how they came up with that one.

So if it was released that November, when was it recorded?
Interesting. I know the song well, but I never knew it was Paul McCartney doing the whispering part. Well, one of the Paul McCartneys.
