I haven't a book quoted as a reference for a statement, that artist ranging "from The Beatles to Jefferson Airplane had written songs whose themes sharply contrasted that of Kicks.", but which one of the Beatles' songs sharply contrasts with Kicks? "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which just describes a surrealist vision, without direct reference to drugs? (and with Lennon denying it was about drugs)? AFAIK, the Beatles did not encourage to take drugs in any song. Pibwl←« 10:53, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
First shopped to The Animals?
I have not been able to find a second source to corroborate the statement made here that this song was originally offered to the Animals, but turned down. That story has also been told about its follow-up, "Hungry," iwhich sounds much more like an Animals' song than "Kicks" does. Did The Animals turn down both songs, or could the "Hungry" story have been mis-remembered by the author of the magazine article cited as a source for this fact?
