Noel Paul Stookey wrote it as a satire on how he felt rock & roll was all style over substance, and that fans of rock & roll liked it because it was popular; not because it was good music. Ironically, the song became one of their biggest hits, charting number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop charts and has been since included on many of "The Best of '60s Rock!" or "The Best of Hippie Rock" compilation albums. It also didn't help that one of the bands they ridiculed, The Mamas & the Papas, ended up covering the song.
