The Hurdy Gurdy Man was originally written and recorded in 1968 by Scottish musician Donovan for his friend Mac MacLeod who was, at that time, in a Danish band called Hurdy Gurdy. Over the years, the song has been recorded by many artists including Eartha Kitt, L.A. Guns, and Butthole Surfers. The Butthole Surfers is my favorite version.
The Butthole Surfers were formed in 1981 in San Antonio, Texas by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary who met while attending Trinity University.
