Itchycoo Park

"Itchycoo Park" was released by mod band The Small Faces in August, 1967. Together with "Lazy Sunday", "Tin Soldier" and "All or Nothing", the song is one of the band's biggest hits and has become a classic of its time.

The song reached number 16 in the American Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968.

Long running British music magazine NME cites readers poll voting "Itchycoo Park" number 62 out of top 100 singles of all time.[3]

"Itchycoo Park" climbed to the top of the charts again when it was re-released on 13 December 1975.

It is one of a number of songs from the late sixties to feature phasing (the audio effect).

The song talks about getting high in the park.

The last time I got high in a park, I started playing Frisbee and ran into a tree.

Or maybe the tree ran into me.
