The Lovin' Spoonful
The Lovin' Spoonful are an American rock band, inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and well known for a number of hit songs in the 1960s including "Summer in the City", "Do You Believe In Magic", "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?", and "Daydream".
Career
Formation and early years (1964–1965)
The band had its roots in the folk music scene based in the Greenwich Village section of lower Manhattan during the early 1960s. John Sebastian, the son of classical harmonicist John Sebastian Sr., grew up in the Village in contact with music and musicians, including folk musicians who were involved with the American folk music revival of the 1950s through the early 1960s. Sebastian formed the Spoonful with guitarist Zal Yanovsky from a bohemian folk group called The Mugwumps (two other members, Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, would later form half of the Mamas & the Papas), playing local coffee houses and small clubs. The formation of the Lovin' Spoonful during this period was later described in the lyrics of the Mamas & the Papas' 1967 top ten hit, "Creeque Alley".

A Song A Day In Nashville
Well there's one more out-of-towner
In Nashville, Tennessee
He's come with all his hopes up high
And a list of folks to see
Cause pedal steels and take-out-meals
Have lured another soul
And a song a day in Nashville
Was what he's send back home
His lists were all familiar names
They've turned him down before
But that was with a pick-up band
And tunes that weren't his owns
But he was on his feet again
A girl had hepled him sail
A song a day in Nasville
And then the come back trail
There's a song a day in Nasville
That's how it's gonna be
There'll be no hangin' round these bars
Competin' with TV
Cause pedal steels and take-out meals
Are callin' me to go
And a song a day in Nashville
Is what I'll send back home
Yes, I'll take my songs to Nashville
I know they'll play 'em right
TThey'll be signed "Love from Nashville
Be back tomorrow night"
Cause you're the one that let me go
Without an achin' brain
Your faith in me has set me free
To write these songs again
There's a song a day in Nasville
That's how it's gonna be
There'll be no hangin' round these bars
Competin' with TV
Cause pedal steels and take-out meals
Are callin' me to go
And a song a day in Nashville
Is what I'll send back home
Ten days and I'll be home
And a song a day in Nashville
Ten days and I'll be home
