The best clue has to be the Mungo Jerry/Bonzo's/Manfred Mann (presumably from their Doo Wah Diddy period), and the bass. oakster you have been a bit unclear about the bass, suggesting it could even be a deep woodwind sound, even something with a sense of humour like a bass bassoon. can you tell us a bit more about this bass sound?
Seth - a little like the single fuzzy bass note that repeats throughout this....
just found a very active Facebook group dedicated to "Late 60's Pop from '66 to '70...UK Psych/US Psych/Sunshine Pop/Garage, etc...

I think some of those bands would have better names if they combined. What about: Twirl Skip; Pavement Blossom; Pretty Thing's Cupid; Clock Kaleidoscope; Lovetime Box; Oz the Zoblies; Attack Family Tree; Trip Rubble Nuggets.

oh my, i'm gonna have fun finding out about some of these bands. and yes. nirvana. found this song a few years back... forgot about it... now re-discovered...
yes - in this vein....& Six-Bag, yes that kind of deep distorted bass......but like I have said I am at the stage now where I am not sure anymore - keep the guesses going though
I HAVE FOUND IT!!!!!! Thanks to Youtube & a playlist on there...
Now my description was pretty accurate, kind of a Mungo Jerry vibe but the song pre-dates that...definitely that ships horn sound throughout, not as often as I thought. It was No.1 in Canada & the UK - the singer had 3 No. 1 hits...he is still alive.
Any more guesses....
A clue - wasn't surprised it was overlooked with what was going on at the time.
Comments
but it's not a country type song, more a whimsical British summer of love groover.....
Any song by the Wurzles (with or without Adge)
and finally, and most appropriate for this thread:
You're Driving Me Crazy: The Temperance Seven.
