what does crimson and clover mean?

This is what google image search brought up

Didn't realize clover had crimson flowers.
 
I don't mind the clover in my lawn anymore. I just wish the flowers were crimson. 😉

However, I dislike the violets in my lawn.

Agree, Tommy James was an excellent songwriter as well as an overall musician. What was so cool about music from that era was that people had to invent different methods to achieve different effects, "Crimson and Clover's" tremolo on steroids effect was made by doing this,

" The song contains a tremolo effect on the guitar, set so that it vibrated in time with the song's rhythm. Near the end of the recording, the band had an idea of utilizing the tremolo effect with vocals. To achieve this, the voice microphone was plugged into an Ampeg guitar amplifier with tremolo turned on, and the output from the amplifier was recorded while James sang "Crimson and clover, over and over".

Another song that used incredible inventive ideas was " I'm not in love" by 10cc, I remember when it was released, (yea, I'm old) and thinking, how did they do that?, it didn't sound like a synthesizer of any kind and it wasn't, here is a short documentary of the making of this pop masterpiece, just amazing IMO..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq7oGenbp2I
 
You don't have Google on your computer?

The combination of unknown meaning came to James as he was waking up, comprising his favorite color – crimson – and his favorite flower – clover. (There is also a species of clover native to Europe called the crimson clover.) A song to fit the phrase was written by Tommy James and bassist Mike Vale, but was scrapped.

Awesome, sexy, song with super-reverb effects, Tommy James was a talented musician and songwriter, enjoy, songs like that just are not made anymore.

I think it's one of the worst songs ever written. And I use the term "written" loosely, it wasn't so much written as it was vomited out.

Really, well that's your opinion and your entitled to it, there's absolutely no reason for me to blast out a nasty retort because music is like food, what you think is tasty I might find gross and vice-a-verse..
 
Reminds me of this song. Most of the footage for that song comes from a live show they played on TV (maybe MTV?) in like late 2001/early 2002. I remember recording it on VHS tape, lol. God I love the album that song is from... one of my top 5 of all time probably.

I like JEW, "in the middle" is a great one even if it "borrows" in style quite a bit from "The Knack's", "My Sharona"..
 
The song sounds alright, but it's just a bit of fluffy pseudo-psychedelia. Not too many bands got psychedelia right. I'll take the slow burn of Dark Star to bunch of overt weirdness every time.
