That got me pulling out my old vinyl! Here’s a 1968 cover of it that you might like as well...Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Steven Stills

I’ve heard they’re going with Elton John’s “The *itch Is Back”.

That’s probably my favorite Donovan song. Though Dr John’s version on the Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack blows it out of the water.

Vanilla Fudge cover of this has a very creepy feel

Play it for Halloween outside to scare away little kids

I believe Jimmy Page played guitar as a session player on many/most of Donovans’ hits, pre-Led Zep.

Donovan - Atlantis

The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
So great an area of land, that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails

To the East Africa was her neighbor, across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth
On board were the Twelve,
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends
Though Gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be

My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
My antediluvian baby

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be

My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl
Girl, I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh
My antediluvian baby

Way down below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be

My antediluvian baby, I, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, oh yeah
Oh glub glub, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

"The Hurdy Gurdy Man" - Donovan

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He's singing songs of love
"Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang
"Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy" he sang

As much as I love VF, their version of “Season” was terrible.

Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills, Super Session would be my pick.
