"Barabajagal" is a song by Donovan released by Donovan in 1969. It was later used as title track to the album Barabajagal. The instrumentation is provided by the Jeff Beck Group.[1]
The first United Kingdom pressings of the single use the full title ("Goo Goo Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)") and give the b-side the title "Bed With Me". Subsequent pressings (most UK copies) shorten the title to "Barabajagal" and rename the b-side "Trudi". The title is a made-up name for a seductive lover mentioned in the song.[2] The single is credited to Donovan and Jeff Beck Group. In the United States, it was always credited as "Goo Goo Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)" by Donovan with the Jeff Beck Group, and with the b-side "Trudi".
It reached number 12 in the UK charts and number 36 in the US.
In his autobiography, Donovan relates how Jeff Beck's guitar had not been delivered to the studio, so they had to borrow one for him to play on the track (at Beck's request, it was a Fender, his preferred instrument).
Legacy
The song was covered in 1991 by "The Love-in" on Scream Records, UK[citation needed].
The song was featured on the TV show Nip/Tuck Season 5, Episode 15 - "Ronnie Chase".
