Here is one that is a classic. From the yellow submarine movie.

If you've never dropped acid, drink about nine cups of double-espresso and watch this movie on a widescreen plasma TV with all the lights turned off and listening it through stereo headphones, and you'll get the same effect as an LSD trip. Or drink only one cup for the pure LSD experience (i.e. acid without the speed it was usually cut with).

"Obama wins, Darlie gets her V-jay-jay. What a great month!"
This dates from 1967. It has such a haunting and free lyric, but is backed by a determined military beat. The guitar solos are stunningly beautiful and the whole backwards tape will forever be timeless when in the hands of others it would have been annoying after a minute.
A song whose true importance in the music of the 1960's has yet to be recognized and, in my eyes, the perfect song.

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. " John 9:2-3
Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?" Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
