  • Summary

  • John Fogerty wrote this song, in part, for his son, Josh. Josh was three years old at the time, and John could barely wait for his son to hear him sing the song on the radio, especially the part that goes: "Doot doot doo lookin' out my back door."

    The song's chorus references a passing parade. Fogerty says the lyric is inspired by a Dr. Seuss book he read as a child, "To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street."

    Some people say the lyric "Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon" is a reference to cocaine or heroin. Fogrety vehemently denies this. He discouraged drug use by any of his band members, saying drugs interfered with their music and their jobs.

    Credence Clearwater Revival gained prominence in the late 1960's. The band split up acrimoniously in 1972. John Fogerty is still performing as of this writing.
