"Mellow Yellow" is one of Donovan's most famous and misinterpreted songs. I promised another popular theory: is that the title refers to Donovan’s bout with hepatitis in early 1966, which left him jaundiced. Ultimately, Donovan describes the song as being about his own "mellow" and laid-back demeanor, which he achieved through meditation rather than drugs.
