Some of you may remember in ages past I asked if anyone remembered a song from the 60s that came out as a counter to Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee" which, at the time, was seen as a redneck song. (And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee) The song I was looking for was "Hippie From Olema #5", by The Youngbloods (Get Together) ...but I didn't know that. "Hippie From Olema #5" (feat. Jesse Colin Young) Well I'm proud to be a hippie from Olema Where we're friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if they're ragged We can't think of anyone to hate We don't watch commercials in Olema We don't buy the plastic crap they sell We still wear our hair long like folks used to And we bathe often, therefore we don't smell And I'm proud to be a hippie from Olema Where we're friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if they're ragged We can't think of anyone to hate We don't throw our beer cans on the highway We don't slight a man because he's black We don't spill our oil out in the ocean 'Cause we love birds and fish too much for that And I'm proud to be a hippie from Olema Where we're friendly to the squares and all the straights We still take in strangers if they're Haggard In Olema, California, planet Earth
