The Anachronism "Groovy"

I was just thinking, earlier today, not for the firs time, that there are some songs which could be said to have stood up pretty well, except they employed the anachronism "groovy."

You can't sing "Spooky" about "go with me to see a movie" without "everything is feeling kinda groovy.

And of course, a big one, Paul Simon's 29th Street Bridge Song, and its "dah-dah-dah dah-dah dah-dah feelin' groovy - this from the only lyricist to ever work the word "gaberdeen" into a song.

But, The Smithereens - Groovy Tuesday? Yikes! The whole thing is groovadelically anachronistic.
