This song was playing on the radio when I was at my grandma's house.. I was running around the back yard and it stopped me in my tracksi went over to the radio and just listened and turned it up! My grandma loved it.. whenever I listen to this song I can see her in the distance. It is so hypnotizing to this day.

I made this video and as always read the responses which for this tune are always so positive. The second verse was removed because I was going to run out of those great stage photos from Ebbets Field in Denver, CO photographed in 1972. And therefore I decided to use the format of Fazon as a 45 rpm when it was released as a single-w/o the 2nd verse. The video portions were shot in the studio at KEMO TV/Radio in San Francisco in 1971. Very early example of a Rock Video. Norm Mayell - Drummer

Sopwith Camel was a British plane in the service of the Royal Naval Air Service in WW I. Sopwith Camel is also the name of this San Francisco psychedelic rock musical group from the 60's -- and I only took notice of them today, in 2019. The band sounds incredibly contemporary.

Holy moly! I’ve had this tune in my head since 1973. I heard it on a radio station out of Elizabeth City, NC called K-94 when I was away at school in the 11th grade. I never heard it played anywhere else and I’d forgotten the artist and the song name. I’ve been racking my brain for 51 years! About 20 minutes ago I saw the Google app had a music recognition thingy where it said to hum or sing so I tried my best hum because I really only remembered the tune and not the words. It found it!! I’m tickled shitless! It sounds even better than I remember! Thank you for having this posted on KZbin for Google to find!! ❤

One of the greatest lesser known songs from the late '60s/early '70s rock era. Was at Ebbets Field in Denver myself back in the day. Saw a band called "Night City", that included Ray Manzarek on keyboards back in '77. If I'm not mistaken, The Ramones opened at that show. That was indeed a great venue

Back in the mid 70's there were "progressive" FM stations that only played album music; no top 40 stuff. I was going to college in Marshall, MN and would tune into a station out of Willmar, MN which had an amazing DJ who played music like this and was unsurpassed in its music repertoire. They played numerous songs from Miraculous Hump and I bought the album. It is still among my favorites. I'd play the album and people would ask what it was and go buy the album themselves. Doesn't get any better than this

There has been so much good music made, and you only hope you come across some of it in your life. I saw a very positive review of " The Miraculous Hump Returns from the Moon" by Sopwith Camel in Stereo Review magazine, and I took a chance and bought the record. I was only aware of the group from their song "Hello, hello" that I had heard on radio. If I had not bought this album, I might have missed one of the most marvelous and unique musical experiences ever put on a record. Luck was with me, and I was introduced to an enduring musical treasure.

And as I was wrong, I just can't stop my tears from falling down.

I feel like assuming this was some modern "hipster band" really eschews the assumption. Especially if you're giving the band props for being old and being "playing the music of the time", that opinion I feel leads to a lessening of impact and importance in your own view of this kind of music. The modern and the old sounding similar should invigorate you into a realization that music is timeless and should be enjoyed and evaluated on it's merits regardless of which era it came from. The timelessness of this song should jolt you into an understanding that whats old is new again and that music isn't supposed to be compartmentalize into boxes of jazz, rock, blues, old, new , hipster and that we ought to identify the pieces and segments that push forward these feelings that we enjoy but feel compelled to label and apply unjust connotations to. Be it relevancy, time period or instrumentation. Doing so really has to buck the obvious inclinations of the brain as we love to apply subconscious opinions onto everything we encounter. Such is a nearly impossible task. However identifying situations in which you are applying the status quo regarding valuation of media, it's creation and the mode in which it's presented will help enjoy and appreciate art in all of it's forms.... fuck.. I'm drunk while writing this. I really shouldn't have. Look what a pretentious dumb shit I am. But I've typed it so... I'm not gonna just delete it.
