The Terrible Power of Psychedelic Music and the Dockers


Get Smart - The Groovy Guru - Season 3 Episode 15 1968
Bumbling Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 for CONTROL, with a great deal of help from his competent partner Agent 99, battles the forces of KAOS.
In this hilarious classic episode, when teenagers start turning into zombies, Max and 99 go after their idol the Groovy Guru.
The Groovy Guru's mind control band is called 'The Sacred Cows', a parody of 'The Grateful Dead'. Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 get swept up in the Flower Power and Psychedelia scene - will things ever be the same?

The sacred Cows song, 'Kill Kill Kill' was released as a cover by Australian wierdos The Painters and Dockers in 1986 (??). Here it is:

"Make the scene..bump off the dean"
I saw the Dockers a few times in the late 1980,s....total madness: beer, transvestites and a brass section.
